ABSTRACT:
A cooling apparatus is provided for facilitating cooling of electronics drawers of an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a bi-fold door assembly configured for mounting to the electronics rack. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door, each configured for separate, hinged mounting to the electronics rack. The apparatus further includes a coolant distribution apparatus, wherein a coolant supply manifold thereof is mounted to the first door and a coolant return manifold thereof is mounted to the second door. Separate swivel connections are coupled in fluid communication with the coolant supply and return manifolds for facilitating supply and return of coolant to and from the manifolds, and for facilitating pivotal movement of the doors relative to the electronics rack. A plurality of coolant distribution ports are provided within the supply and return manifolds, and disposed to facilitate supply and return of coolant to the electronics drawers.
