A fastening system is disclosed for forming modular, reconfigurable, and scalable data center infrastructure support systems which may permit construction of self-supporting multi-story data centers capable of supporting substantial loads without requiring external attachment points to walls, ceilings, or building support columns. It may be seen that data center infrastructure support systems formed from there herein described fastening systems may be capable of supporting substantial loads, even when scaled in the vertical direction to include multiple stories.

A tower includes a base section; a tower section hinged to the base section; a hinge assembly between the base section and the tower section, the hinge assembly defines a hinge axis about which the tower section hinges relative to the base section; and a flexible cable guide link assembly attached to the tower section such that the flexible cable guide link assembly extends across the hinge axis and into the base section.

The present invention describes a bulk fluid (wet or dry) cargo distribution terminal (10). The distribution terminal has a silo storage area (10A), a compartmentalized area (10B) which has designated inspecting, refilling and delivering/stacking stations (10C-10E). These storage and compartment areas are protected by fortified walls (11a-11e). Adjacent to the inspecting, refilling and delivering stations is a driveway (14). Trailers and prime movers carry IMO tanks and/or freight containers (22) for refilling or delivering. Located at entry and exit points of the driveway are guard-houses (72a,72b) to ensure safe operation at the distribution terminal. Overhead cranes (41a-41c) serve mechanical handling at the various stations and driveway.

A container energy storage system is provided, including a container, a plurality of functional assemblies, and a splitting plate, wherein the splitting plate has a connecting port electrically connected to the functional assemblies. The container includes a hollow main body having an opening and two doors pivotally connected to the hollow main body. The functional assemblies are disposed in the hollow main body, and the splitting plate is disposed between the functional assemblies and the opening. When the doors are in a closed position, the doors cover the opening.

A mixing module may be used in a modular data center to provide cooling of air by mixing exterior environment air with warm air exhausted from information handling systems in other modules of the modular data center. The mixing module may include a mixing aisle that provides a low-impedance path for warm and cool air to mix and for a homogenous air mass for cooling IT equipment. The mixing aisle may be divided into two portions separated by dampers to allow for control over the mixing of air in the mixing aisle. The dampers in the mixing aisle, as well as dampers on an intake and exhaust from the mix module, may be controlled to obtain a desired temperature and/or humidity level.
