  • Publication number: 20240009614
    Abstract: A carbon capture system includes two carbon capture plates. A first carbon capture plate collects carbon dioxide from a flow of ambient air. A second carbon capture plate releases carbon dioxide upon application of heat from a heat exchanger. The heat is exhaust heat from a data center. The first carbon capture plate and the second carbon capture plate are rotatable between the capture and release positions. The carbon capture system uses the waste heat from a data center to collect and store atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby reducing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

  • Publication number: 20230418347
    Abstract: A power controller allocates input power to a datacenter between computing power for computing services, backup power, and overhead power for overhead systems. The power controller reallocates the overhead power and/or the backup power to the computing power. This may increase the overall utilization of the datacenter by allowing additional processing power of the servers to be used.

  • Publication number: 20230367653
    Abstract: A method of power management in a datacenter includes obtaining at least one workload status of at least one server rack, obtaining at least one infrastructure parameter, obtaining at least one utility telemetry, and comparing the at least one workload status to the at least one utility telemetry. The method further includes determining a workload demand based at least partially on a difference between the at least one workload status and the at least one utility telemetry and changing the at least one infrastructure parameter based on the workload demand and the at least one infrastructure parameter.

  • Patent number: 11639831
    Abstract: Cooling a first device and second device in a fashion to produce water. The method includes collecting environmental air from an environment. The environmental air is used to cool a first device. Cooling the first device generates first device exhaust air produced from the environmental air. The first device exhaust air is provided to a first device portion of a heat exchanger. At a second device portion of the heat exchanger, thermally coupled to the first device portion of the heat exchanger, second device exhaust air generated by cooling a second device is received. At the heat exchanger, the first device exhaust air is used to cool the second device exhaust air to a dew point, causing condensed water to be created from the second device exhaust air. The condensed water is collected.
