Modular High-Rise Data Centers and Methods Thereof

摘要

A system for building multistory data centers using prefabricated modules that can be both juxtaposed side-by-side and stacked vertically, with fluid communication across stories to create two-way vertical airflow for efficient and cost effective high density heat management.

主权项

1) A data center module for receiving a plurality of computing cabinets comprising at least one computer, the data center module comprising:
first and second internal portions, each internal portion comprising a first area and a second area:
the first area being configured to allow air to flow in a substantially downward direction;the second area being configured to allow the air to flow in the computer cabinets;a heat exchanger unit in fluid communication with the first area and the second area;a mean for diverting air from each first area to the heat exchanger unit; a third internal portion configured to exhaust air warmed by the at least one computer of the computer cabinets in a generally upward airflow; a support structure adapted to support the vertical stacking of a plurality of modules, the support structure comprising a top portion and a bottom portion being adapted to allow passage of the airflow of each first area of the first and second internal portions and of the third internal portion.
