The cooling system for a data center includes an information technology (IT) container, secondary condensing system, and a coolant distribution unit. In particular, an IT container includes a liquid region to store cooling liquid, a vapor region to receive vapor evaporated from the cooling liquid, and a primary condenser disposed within the vapor region to condense the vapor. For example, the external cooling air or cooling liquid is controlled to be delivered to condensers. Further, a secondary condenser is coupled to the IT container via a vapor line to receive at least a portion of the vapor from the vapor region of the IT container and to condense the portion of the vapor. Furthermore, a coolant distribution unit is coupled to the IT container and the secondary condenser to store and to distribute the cooling liquid to the IT container.

The disclosure provides a system, for designing and developing immersion cooling in data centers. The system includes multiple aisles that perform different functions. One of the aisles includes space for housing immersion tanks in which components of the data center may be positioned to be cooled. A second aisle allows the immersion tanks to be placed in the other aisle and for backside access. A third aisle transfers vapor from the aisle housing the immersion tanks to a vapor return unit to condense the vapor. A distribution unit distributes the coolant to cool the components of the data center is designed at the second aisle. The aisles and other units can be modularized to allow for deployment to meet different types of data center requirements.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, one or more flow controllers is associated with a cold plate and with a thermosyphon condenser that is elevated with respect to a cold plate so that two-phase fluid is enabled for gravity-assisted downflow in a liquid phase to a cold plate for absorption of heat and is enabled for buoyancy-driven upflow through a riser tube into a thermosyphon condenser for dissipation of heat of at least one computing device.

Described herein is an air handling unit that includes canopies for compressor fans and exhaust fans located on a top thereof, which canopies provide for noise abatement and a canopy to assist in keeping precipitation out. The canopies further include louvers that can be controlled to provide for even further noise abatement and precipitation control.

This invention describes the use of pre-packaged air shipping containers for delivery of edge data center equipment. The containers are capable of rapid deployment and positioning at the edge data center delivery site to minimize time between the order of equipment and deployment of a functioning edge data center. The containers allow for easy access, and rapid repair/replacement of modular edge data center equipment.

Provided herein are systems and methods for utilizing a natural gas letdown generator at a natural gas regulating station. The system utilizes the gas letdown generator to generate electricity by converting high pressure inlet gas to low pressure outlet gas, which in turn creates low temperature outlet gas. Electricity generated can power a data center. Heat may be transferred, using a heat exchanger, from dielectric fluid of the data center to the natural gas prior to entering the gas letdown generator. Heat may be further transferred, using a second heat exchanger, from the dielectric fluid to the natural gas at the output of the gas letdown generator. The heat exchange may substantially cool the dielectric fluid for transmission to the data center and may heat the low temperature outlet gas for transmission to an end user.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, multiple parallel refrigerant paths are associated with one or more flow controllers to cool multiple computing devices associated therewith, so that one or more flow controllers can distribute equal measures of a liquid phase of refrigerant, relative to a vapor phase of a refrigerant, to such parallel refrigerant paths based in part on a cooling requirement from at least one of such multiple computing devices.

A condensing unit includes a vapor container housing condensing coils, the vapor container being pressurized to increase a rate of condensation of two phase coolant in vapor phase.
