Several transportable datacenters are described. The transportable datacenters include transport systems allowing them to be transported between an assembly location and an operating location. The transportable datacenters also include a ventilation system for cooling processors positioned in racks in the datacenters. The ventilation system draws cold air from the environment, through processor bays containing the processors and then exhausts the air back to the environment.

A design for the electrical infrastructure of a data center enables two different configurations to be utilized, including a distributed, redundant configuration that provides higher reliability and a non-redundant configuration that provides higher capacity. In the distributed, redundant configuration, each server in the data center draws power from at least two different power supply systems. This enables load shifting when a power supply system becomes unavailable, which can have the effect of increasing server reliability. In the non-redundant configuration, each server in the data center draws power from only one power supply system. Load shifting is not utilized in the non-redundant configuration, which eliminates the need to maintain reserve capacity and thereby increases capacity. Advantageously, it is possible to switch between these two configurations without making any internal changes to the data center other than modifying connections between sets of server racks and power buses.

A modular data center (MDC) has an MDC power distribution system (PDS) that includes a power distribution module attached to a top or bottom of the interior enclosure of a volumetric container of the MDC. The power distribution module is electrically coupled to an external power source to receive electrical power and comprising electrical sockets that distribute the received electrical power from an electrical power source external to the volumetric container. Electrical cord(s) have a respective electrical plug insertable in a respective electrical socket of the power distribution module and having another end that is electrically connectable to a rack power distribution unit (PDU). Rack information handling system(s) is positioned in an interior enclosure of a volumetric container of the MDC and has information technology (IT) component(s) mounted to the rack. The rack PDU is attached to the rack and electrically coupled to distribute electrical power to the IT component(s).

A containerized data system, including a container body, a first cabinet array, a second cabinet array and a plurality of first air-conditioning devices. The first cabinet array and the second cabinet array are positioned in the container body and spaced apart from each other. Air intake areas of the first cabinet array and the second cabinet array communicates with a cold aisle connection space of the container body. Heat dissipation areas of the first cabinet array and the second cabinet array communicates with a hot aisle connection space of the container body. Air inlets of the first air-conditioning devices are communicated with the hot aisle connection space to collect the hot air flow in the container body, and air outlets of the plurality of first air-conditioning devices are communicated with the cold aisle connection space to convey the cold air flow to the container body.

Disclosed are row cooling units and connecting units with a network of integrated fluid distribution piping that may be interconnected to construct a liquid cooling system to carry way heat generated by servers housed within the server racks used in data centers. The assembly of row cooling units and connecting units may be connected to the supply and return loops of the data center facility to distribute cooling liquid to the electronic components of the servers and to return heated liquid for heat removal. The network of fluid distribution piping integrated into the row cooling units and connecting units enables the configuration of the liquid cooling system to be independent of the fixed infrastructure of the facility, affording ease of scalability, serviceability, maintenance, while increasing efficiency, resiliency, availability and reliability of the liquid cooling system critical to the operation and performance of the data center.

A system including a power bus configured to supply power to a plurality of server racks arranged within a space of a building, a first power source connection positioned at a first side of the building and configured to supply power from a first power source to the power bus, a second power source positioned at a second side of the building different from the first side and configured to supply power from a second power source to the power bus, and a plurality of diverter switches arranged within the power bus. Each diverter switch may be configured to receive a respective control signal and, responsive to the respective control signal, redirect power within the power bus.

A cooling system for a datacenter is disclosed. An evaporative cooling subsystem provides blown air for cooling the datacenter and a repurposable refrigerant cooling subsystem controls moisture of the blown air in a first configuration and independently cools the datacenter in a second configuration.

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 container module includes a baseplate assembly and a plurality of columns, where the baseplate assembly includes a base frame and a baseplate fixed on the base frame, the plurality of columns are fixed on the base frame in parallel to each other, each column has an extension section extending above the baseplate assembly, and/or a lower end of each column has an extension section extending below the baseplate assembly. A container assembly includes at least two container modules that are stacked vertically and/or connected laterally. A data center includes a function device and the container module.

A kit for forming a data center comprising a first rack, a second rack, a first support having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first support configured to be secured to the floor at the first end, a cooling frame having a cooling unit received therein, the cooling frame having a first face and a second face opposite the first face, the cooling frame configured to be secured to the second end of the first support, a first distribution frame having a first plurality of support arms extending therefrom, the first distribution frame configured to be coupled to the first face of the cooling frame, and a second distribution frame having a second plurality of support arms extending therefrom, the second distribution frame configured to be coupled to the second face of the cooling frame.
