DESC:FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of control panels for server racks.
BACKGROUND
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
A rack cooling system refers to a cooling system that is used in either small data centers or in high-density areas of large data centers. Typically, the rack cooling system's configuration is based on the split AC principle. The rack cooling system includes a cooling unit snug fit inside a server rack. The cooling unit includes control panels connected to the cooling unit for facilitating precise temperature control and air conditioning of the cooling system. A typical control panel includes a high-voltage (HV) control panel and a low-voltage (LV) control panel. The HV control panel is located below the cooling coil of the cooling unit and the LV control panel is fastened on the back side of the cooling unit.
The removal of the LV control panel becomes laborious during maintenance as the fasteners are difficult to be accessed. Further, the positioning of the LV control panel restricts the airflow from entering the evaporator coil, thereby decreasing the cooling efficiency of the cooling system. Moreover, the position of the HV control panel makes it vulnerable to short circuits as it is in close proximity to the cooling coils of the cooling unit.
A conventional server rack provides restricted access to the control panels, especially during maintenance of the control panels. As a result, in the event of the failure of any one of the control panels, it becomes necessary to extract the entire cooling unit from the server rack. Therefore, the complex packaging of the control panels urges the need for a highly skilled operator for replacing the control panels to avoid major electrical problems.
There is, therefore felt a need for a control panel for a rack cooling system that alleviates the aforementioned drawbacks.

As used in the present disclosure, the forms "a,” "an," and "the" may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly suggests otherwise. The terms "comprises," "comprising," “including,” and “having,” are open-ended transitional phrases and therefore specify the presence of stated features, elements, modules, units and/or components, but do not forbid the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
Figure 1A illustrates a conventional rack cooling system 100 including a cooling unit 110 and a server rack 105. The cooling unit 110 is snugly fitted inside the server rack 105. The control panels are mounted on the cooling unit 110 for precise temperature control and air conditioning.
Conventionally, the control panel of the cooling unit includes a high-voltage (HV) control panel 115 and a low-voltage (LV) control panel 120. The HV control panel 115 is mounted below a cooling coil 125 of the cooling unit 110. Further, the HV control panel includes a display 115A, a power isolator (MCB) 115B, and a power rectifier 115C.
