A cooling system is provided employing at least two modular cooling units
(MCUs). Each MCU is capable of providing system coolant to multiple
electronics subsystems to be cooled, and each includes a heat exchanger,
a first cooling loop with at least one control valve, and a second
cooling loop. The first cooling loop receives chilled facility coolant
from a source and passes at least a portion thereof through the heat
exchanger, with the portion being controlled by the at least one control
valve. The second cooling loop provides cooled system coolant to the
multiple electronics subsystems, and expels heat in the heat exchanger
from the multiple electronics subsystems to the chilled facility coolant
in the first cooling loop. The at least one control valve allows
regulation of facility coolant flow through the heat exchanger, thereby
allowing control of temperature of system coolant in the second cooling
loop.
