An example assembly includes an equipment room, a cabinet fan module having fans, and a processor configured to execute logic. Temperature sensors are positioned in the air inlet channel and the equipment room. An electrical component having an air inlet area is also positioned in the equipment room. The logic causes the fans to operate at a predetermined speed, and compare a temperature in the air inlet channel with a temperature at the air inlet area. In response to determining that the temperature at the air inlet area is greater than the temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value, the operating speed of the fans is increased. Moreover, the operating speed of the fans is decreased in response to determining that the ambient temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value is greater than or equal to the temperature at the air inlet area.

Controlling electric fans of cabinet assemblies

An example compute cabinet assembly includes an equipment room configured to implement electrical components therein, an air inlet channel coupled to a first side of the equipment room, and a cabinet fan module coupled to a second side of the equipment room opposite the first side. A first air outlet channel is coupled to the cabinet fan module and extends along a third side of the equipment room towards a first outlet of the first air outlet channel. Moreover, electric fans are positioned in the cabinet fan module, the electric fans being configured to create an airflow path originating at an inlet of the air inlet channel. The airflow path further extends through the equipment room and cabinet fan module. A guide plate is also positioned adjacent to an inlet of the equipment room, the guide plate being configured to uniformly distribute the airflow path through the equipment room.

Controlled airflow design for indoor cabinet

A sunshield to protect an equipment housing from solar heat and allow cooling from external air flow is disclosed. The sunshield includes a main plate configured to be positioned to cover a side of the equipment housing. A vent in the main plate allows air flow through the main plate to the equipment housing. A shutter is rotatable between an open position allowing air flow through the vent, and a closed position blocking air flow through the vent. A biasing mechanism provides force to bias the shutter in the closed position. The force is overcome by a predetermined level of external air flow on the shutter to rotate the shutter to the open position.
