Superimposed Computer Room Building and Process for Cooling this Building
First Claim
1. Building comprising at least two vertically superimposed computer rooms each limited by a peripheral wall and separated from each other by an intermediate floor (7) and which each contain computer cabinets for computer or electronic equipment (25), building wherein:
- each computer room comprises at least one interior wall formed in part or less by the computer cabinets and which separates the interior volume of each computer room into a hot zone and a cold zone, since the air cannot flow between the hot zone and the cold zone without passing through the computer cabinets,the hot and respectively cold zones are superimposed one floor above the other,each intermediate floor is perforated to allow free circulation of air, on the one hand, between the superimposed hot zones, and, on the other hand, between the superimposed cold zones, all superimposed cold zones forming a supply column of fresh air and all the superimposed hot zones forming an exhaust column of hot air,the floors, the perimeter walls and interior walls are adapted to prevent a direct flow of air between the supply column and the exhaust column,and the building comprises means for providing fresh air in the supply column and means for evacuating hot air from the exhaust column.

Abstract
Building comprising at least two vertically superimposed computer rooms 2, 3, 4, 5 each limited by a peripheral wall 6 and separated from each other by an intermediate floor 7 and which each contain computer cabinets 11 for computer or electronic equipment 25. The building is characterised in that: each computer room 2, 3, 4, 5 comprises at least one interior wall 10 formed in part or less by the computer cabinets 11 and which separates the interior volume of each computer room into a hot zone Zc and a cold zone Zf, since the air cannot flow between the hot zone Zc and the cold zone Zf without passing through the computer cabinets 11; each intermediate floor 7, 8, 9 is perforated to allow free circulation of air, all cold zones Zf are superimposed and forming a supply column of fresh air Ca and all the hot spots are superimposed forming an exhaust column of hot air Ce; the floors 7, 8, 9, the perimeter walls 6 and interior walls 10 are adapted to prevent a direct flow of air between the supply column Ca and the exhaust column Ce, and the building comprises fresh air means 20, 30 in the supply column Ca and means for evacuating 23, 30 hot air from the exhaust column Ce.
