发明名称 EXPANDABLE, MODULAR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FACILITY WITH MODULARLY EXPANDABLE COOLING
摘要 An Expandable Modular Information Technology (EMIT) Facility (EMITF) includes: an EMIT Building Infrastructure (EMITBI) having an initial enclosure that includes: a base pad providing a fixed usable space area on which one or more modular IT components are placed; and a plurality of exterior walls, including at least one removable expansion wall (REW) that enables expansion of the usable space area of the EMITBI; a plurality of modular IT components placed within the EMITBI on the usable space, and which dissipate heat; and at least one air handling unit (AHU) in fluid communication with the enclosure to support cooling of one or more of the IT components within the enclosure. As the EMITBI is expanded to include more IT components, additional AHUs are added to the EMITF in fluid communication with a respective area of the EMITBI to provide cooling to the added IT components.

主权项 1. An Expandable Modular Information Technology (IT) Facility (EMITF) that supports a large-scale modularly-constructed and expandable information handling system (LMIHS) comprising: an Expandable Modular Information Technology (IT) Building Infrastructure (EMITBI), the EMITBI having an initial enclosure comprised of: an initial base pad providing a fixed area of usable space on which one or more modular sub-components of the LMIHS can be placed; a plurality of exterior walls extending vertically from an outer perimeter of the base pad and connected to a roof structure, the plurality of exterior walls and roof structure collectively providing an outer perimeter of the initial enclosure of the EMITBI, within which a first maximum number of modular IT components can be housed, the plurality of exterior walls including at least one exterior wall that is constructed as a removable expansion wall (REW) that enables expansion of the usable space of the EMITBI, wherein the EMITBI protects the IT gear located therein and is expandable via the REW, without affecting the operation of the existing LMIHS within an initial enclosed segment of the EMITBI; a plurality of modular IT components placed within the EMITBI on the usable space and operational as the LMIHS, wherein the EMITBI provides a protective enclosure (with a controlled environment) within which the LMIHS can operate with minimal exposure to an environment outside of the plurality of exterior walls, and wherein at least one of the plurality of modular IT components dissipate heat; and at least one air handling unit (AHU) in fluid communication with the enclosure to support cooling of one or more of the IT components within the enclosure.
