High density modular integrated cooling system and methods of operation thereof

摘要

A module is provided having a foundation and a skeleton that are structural and modular in design. The skeleton can be constructed on top of the foundation. The skeleton supports an HVAC assembly. Equipment racks, such as a server racks, can be housed within the module and independently movably supported by translation assemblies. The translation assemblies are embedded within the foundation and skeleton. Any number of modules can be attached end to end to form a system of a desired length, side to side to form a system of a desired width, or vertically to form a system of desired height. The entire system, once assembled and wired, can easily be conjoined or moved to a desired destination. The air flow path within the module is selected by the operator. The system is expandable in size and capacity as the operational needs increase.
