Abstract: Modular data center containers with modular components suitable for use with rack or shelf mount computing systems currently use cooling methods that do not include economizers due to size constraints of structural steel support infrastructure associated with modular data centers and removable economizers to facilitate portability of modular data centers. The modules allows introduction of outside air to the cooling cycle with the unique elements embodied within airside economizer components. The modules in conjunction with the data center represents a new and useful process to allow the economizer elements to bring outside air into the modular data center cooling cycle.

Abstract: A system for removing heat from heat load equipment including a re-circulating air handling unit for establishing an air curtain that flows up from and around the heat load equipment and one or more roof-mounted heat stratification housings disposed over the heat load equipment for receiving heat from the equipment. The heat generated from the equipment travels upwardly inside of and propelled by the air curtain. The heat stratification housing includes a plurality of heat transfer plates that extend between interior and exterior areas thereof. Water nozzles direct a spray on the heat transfer plates.
