ABSTRACT:
A refrigeration system for a disk drive storage is provided. The refrigeration system employs pairs of thin conducting plates, each pair of which is placed so as to sandwich a disk drive. The refrigeration system conducts heat generated from the disk drives via the thin conducting plates, heat pipes coupled to the thin conducting plates, a back plate and a chilled manifold. The heat is further removed as a refrigerant travels through to a compressor and then to a condenser, both of which are connected to the chilled manifold. In this way, the disk drive storage is able to increase its capacity from a bank of twelve disk drives to fourteen disk drives for a 1 inch disk drive storage and from eight disk drives to nine disk drives for a 1.6 inch disk drive storage system, thereby realizing an increased density system without sacrificing a low operating temperature.
