发明名称 FORMATION OF SYSTEM TO INCREASE SERVER'S DENSITY IN DATACENTER
摘要 A method for forming a system. Rack containers include rack units stacked in a first direction. Each rack unit has wheels and includes at least one heat generating device configured to generate heat while in operation. The wheels are positioned on a supporting structure on the floor which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. A cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container to allow a cooling fluid to flow through a flexible tube into each rack container via the cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube. The cooling fluid is configured to be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device. The exhaust conduit is secured on the top surface of each rack container to allow the heated cooling fluid to be exhausted from each rack container via the exhaust conduit.

主权项 1. A method for forming a system, said method comprising: providing a plurality of rack containers, each rack container comprising a plurality of rack units stacked in a first direction that is parallel to a floor, each rack unit comprising at least one heat generating device, each heat generating device configured to generate heat while in operation, each rack container being equipped with wheels; positioning the wheels on a supporting structure to enable the wheels to move along the supporting structure in a second. direction which enables adjacent rack containers of the plurality of rack containers to move closer to or further from each other, said second direction being parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction, said supporting structure being on the floor and oriented in the second direction; securing a cooling conduit at a first port on a top surface of each rack container to allow a cooling fluid to flow through flexible tube into said each rack container via the cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube, said top surface being further from the floor than is any other surface of said each rack container, said cooling fluid configured to be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device; and securing an exhaust conduit at a second port on the top surface of each rack container to allow the heated cooling fluid to be exhausted from said each rack container via the exhaust conduit, wherein the cooling conduit comprises a first segment, second segment, and a third segment, wherein the first segment is linked to, perpendicular to and in direct physical contact with, the second segment through a first articulation, wherein the second segment is linked to, parallel to, and in direct physical contact with, the third segment through a second articulation, wherein the first and second articulations are configured to rotate horizontally in a plane parallel to the floor to enable the flexible tube to maintain smooth contact with the top surface of said each rack container, wherein the cooling conduit of each rack container is located at a front side of said each rack container, and wherein the exhaust conduit of each rack container is located at a back side of said each rack container.
