ABSTRACT:
A cabinet with air inlet and exhaust openings includes one or more air-moving devices for the air cooling of circuit cards contained within the cabinet. The circuit cards are insertable into a board (back plane) which also contains an electronic circuit module which is cooled by at least one refrigeration system which may also be disposed within a portion of the cabinet. In one embodiment, a portion of the exhaust air stream is used to also cool a condenser portion of the refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is preferably a dual/redundant system with two distinct coolant loops passing through a single cold plate in contact with the circuit module.
