Universal Telescopic Louvered Panel Attachment and System for Passive Stack Effect Cooling in a Data Center

摘要

A telescopic louvered panel and system for enhancing cold aisle and hot aisle passive stack effect cooling efficiency in a data center is provided. The panel has a panel frame with a pair of vertical side walls. Each of the side walls has a back flange portion with mounting apertures for mounting the panel frame to either one of a computer cabinet or server door. A series of horizontally telescoping blade members have opposite ends which are pivotally connecting the side walls. The blade members are capable of slidably adjusting a width dimension of the frame, and pivoting on a horizontal plane. A vertical tilt bar links the blades together so that the blades push to open and close in unison.
