Apparatuses, methods, and systems directed to efficient cooling of data centers. Some embodiments of the invention allow encapsulation of cold rows through an enclosure and allow one or more fans to draw cold air from the cold row encapsulation structure to cool servers installed on the server racks. In other particular embodiments, the systems disclosed can be used to mix outside cool air into the cold row encapsulation structure to cool the servers. In some embodiments, the present invention involves fanless servers installed on the server racks and introduces fan units to draw cooling air from the cold row encapsulation structure through the fanless servers on the racks.

A computing system includes a chassis having an airflow entrance and an airflow exhaust, a duct structure disposed in the chassis, and a redirection mechanism located on a wall of the duct structure and extending through a cutout in the wall of the duct structure. In the computing system, the duct structure has a first end facing the airflow entrance and a second end facing the airflow exhaust. The redirection mechanism has a deflector having an inlet airfoil extending away from the duct structure towards the airflow entrance and at least one exhaust airfoil extending into the duct structure.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the thermal management and regulation of electronic equipment. Microfluidic channels are utilized to actively change the aerodynamics of a surface, which may allow for the ability to change a surface texture from flat to raised, or dimpled, or from open to closed. The changing of the surface texture influences the fluid flow over or through the surface, thus allowing for thermal regulation of the surface. The thermal regulation system further controls fluid flow through an electronic device via a coating, or layer, having a plurality of active perforations thereon. The active perforations may open and close to increase and decrease the inlet of air to the system in order to help balance the back pressure in the system and redirect airflow to more sensitive system components. Active perforations may be individually opened and/or closed depending on location and system component utilization.

An airflow guiding mechanism includes a housing and a shielding assembly. The housing includes an airflow guiding portion and a guiding track. The shielding assembly is movably connected to the guiding track. The shielding assembly is able to move within the airflow guiding portion along the guiding track. In an embodiment, the shielding assembly may include a first shielding plate and at least one second shielding plate. The first shielding plate is connected to the housing. The at least one second shielding plate and the first shielding plate are movably connected to each other. The at least one second shielding plate are able to move with respect to each other to be folded and unfolded, so as to open and shield the airflow guiding portion.

A data center includes heat producing components and an air handling system that provides reduced relative humidity air to cool the heat producing components. The air handling system includes a thermal storage unit that removes thermal energy from incoming air under a given set of ambient air conditions and releases thermal energy into incoming air under another set of ambient air conditions. Under the given set of ambient air conditions, the thermal storage unit cools the incoming air and causes water vapor to condense out of the incoming air. Under the other set of ambient air conditions, the thermal storage unit releases thermal energy into the incoming air, thus heating the incoming air.
