AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An air conditioning apparatus connected to a server room configured with a cold space and a hot space separated from each other, including a server provided normally with a service of power from a commercial power source and in emergencies with a service of power from an uninterruptible power supply and disposed between a cold space and the hot space, to have cold air supplied through the cold space, heated by dissipation of heat at the server, and discharged as return air through the hot space, the air conditioning apparatus comprising:
- a first space connected to the cold space, and adapted to have cold air reside therein to send to the cold space;
a second space adapted to have return air as discharged from the hot space reside therein;
a first damper configured to have an opening adjusted under control of a controller to take in outdoor air to the first space, and adapted to have an open state in an emergency with the server being supplied with power;
a second damper configured to have an opening adjusted under control of the controller to discharge return air in the second space, outside thereof, and adapted to have an open state in the emergency; and
a third damper configured to have an opening adjusted under control of the controller to recirculate return air in the second space to the first space.

Abstract
An embodiment includes a first space, a second space, a first damper, a second damper, and a third damper. The first space is connected to a cold space, having cold air reside therein to send to the cold space. The second space has return air reside therein, as it is discharged from a hot space. The first damper has an opening adjusted under control of a controller to take in outdoor air to the first space, and is operable to have an open state in an emergency with a server being supplied with power. The second damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to discharge return air in the second space, outside thereof, and is operable to have an open state in the emergency. The third damper has an opening adjusted under control of the controller to recirculate return air in the second space to the first space.
