A portable dehumidifying chamber includes a frame of a structure configured to include a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone, where a plurality of exterior walls coupled to the frame of the structure isolate the first zone, the second zone, and third zone from surrounding environmental conditions. A heating device disposed in the first zone to facilitate heated air flow from the first zone to the third zone, where the heated air flow contacts an object disposed in the second zone to facilitate dehumidification of the object. A conduit connecting the third zone to the first zone, where the conduit allows for humidified air flow to bypass the second zone, where the conduit includes a moisture removing apparatus. A first vapor barrier material separates the first zone and the second zone and a second vapor barrier material separates the second zone and the third zone.

A modular data center (MDC) has a cooling unit externally positioned proximate to a first longitudinal external wall of a volumetric container. The cooling unit directs supply air sideways through a supply air opening into a cold aisle adjacent to the first longitudinal external wall. The cooling air passes through rack(s) containing information technology (IT) components to a hot aisle. A baffle positioned within the volumetric container above the rack(s) directs return air from the hot aisle through a return air plenum to a return air opening in the first longitudinal external wall. A shroud coupled to at least one of the volumetric container and the cooling unit receives the sideways directed return air and directs the return air downward into an upwardly open return air inlet of the cooling unit.

Distributed infrastructure and mobile architecture for edge computing are disclosed. For one example, an edge computing container includes a plurality of modules. Each module has plug and play connectivity, and the modules are assembled to provide information technology (IT) space to house IT devices, cooling system, energy source and storage, and power system. The modules can be pre-fabricated and assembled as a single container unit. A source distribution unit (SDU) can assembled on an IT rack and connected to the modules. The single container unit can be loaded in a vehicle or transportation system for transportation in the process of deployment. The modules in the single container unit can also be operational during transportation.

A submerged waterborne data center facility that employs a feedback-control system to control any one of a condensation function, depth function, and a wired or wireless data transfer function utilizing on-board and out-board sensors operatively coupled to an operational state change controller, controlling for a hygrostat-coupled heater, depth thruster, and, or a radio frequency modulation unit.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for allowing access for maintenance and servicing of environmental control systems of prefabricated equipment enclosures. In one embodiment, an enclosure includes a first wall, a first environmental control unit, and a first door. The first door is mechanically coupled with the first environmental control unit and the first wall. The first door is configured to have a first closed position allowing in-service operation of the first environmental control unit for an internal space of the enclosure.

An example air barrier system for a data center within a building is disclosed. The example air barrier system includes a pliable barrier material to partition an area above a top of row of computer cabinets in the data center and below an overhead surface of the building. The pliable barrier material is to reduce mixing of air between first and second aisles on opposites sides of the row of computer cabinets. The example air barrier system also includes a frame to support the pliable barrier material in position when in the area above the top of the row of computer cabinets. The frame is to be supported by the row of computer cabinets without support from the overhead surface.

Provided is a QSFP+ patch panel, comprising: a circuit board; a plurality of pairs of QSFP+ sockets connected to one another via conductive traces of the circuit board; and one or more microcontrollers coupled to at least two of the conductive traces of each pair of QSFP+ sockets. The one or more microcontrollers comprise memory storing instructions that when executed cause the one or more microcontrollers to perform operations comprising: obtaining configuration settings for the QSFP+ sockets; and configuring connections of the QSFP+ sockets based on the configuration settings.

Described herein is an integrated data center that provides for efficient powering and cooling, as well as efficient wire routing.

A data center provides containment walls of an operation technology (OT) interior compartment, such as a meet me room, positioned between cold and hot aisles in an information technology (IT compartment. The OT interior compartment limits air flow so that IT components outside of the OT interior compartment receive sufficient supply air for moderating or cooling a temperature of the IT components. Pressure differential is measured on an exterior and interior of door(s) to the OT interior compartment. Air flow regulation device(s) are positioned in a supply air passage to the OT interior compartment and/or in a return air passage out of the OT interior compartment are controlled to limit the pressure differential between an exterior and interior of the containment wall. Limiting the pressure differential ensures that door(s) facing the cold aisle are not difficult to open and door(s) facing the hot aisle are not difficult to close.

A modular data center has an air handling unit (AHU) that is coupled to a first panel that is engaged over a first opening in a volumetric container. The AHU directs pressurized supply air through a supply air outlet into a cold aisle causing the supply air to pass through a first side of the IT component(s) installed in an interior of the volumetric container. A chimney of a return air plenum captures return air from a second side of the IT component(s), directing the return air to a return air duct of the return air plenum that is connected to a return air inlet of the AHU. In one or more embodiments, a second AHU is coupled to a second panel that is engaged to a second opening in a second side, directing pressurized supply air via a supply air plenum to the opposing first side.
