Publication number: 20210274686Abstract: A modular datacenter facility and a method thereof is provided in accordance with some embodiments. The module datacenter facility can be constructed with an initial set of building modules of different types of functionality. A first building module can be a data-floor building module. A first set of sidewall-connected heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) units can connect to a sidewall of the modular datacenter facility and use electrical power provided by a first electrical power distribution building module to supply conditioned air into an air-supply plenum of the sidewall to cool computing systems housed in the data-floor building module. The first set of the sidewall-connected HVAC units allow for fewer penetrations in a roof of the data-floor building module, thereby minimizing an amount of leaks potentially occurring in the roof of the ceiling, and thereby minimizing risk of any damage to the computing systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Christopher J. Crosby, JR., Jose Alberto Ruiz

Patent number: 11073875Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system in which an air dam is incorporated into an air ventilation stream of a datacenter to control the temperature of an interior space of the datacenter. The datacenter may include a raised floor in which the ventilation stream is injected through perforations within the raised floor. An air dam may be positioned at an entry region of the under floor plenum to obstruct the flow of air from a supply air plenum. The air dam is used to create a positive pressure across the raised floor at a substantially constant pressure distribution.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Compass Datacenters, LLCInventors: Jose Alberto Ruiz, Christopher J. Crosby, Jr., Christopher James Curtis

Patent number: 10609843Abstract: A distribution of the cooling air through one or more perforated tiles or other open areas in the raised floor of the data room is customized by placing one or more magnetic blocking tiles in a pattern to lie on top of the one or more of the perforated floor tiles or other open areas. The cooling air flow through the perforated floor tiles or other open areas to areas where the computing systems are not installed is cut off; and thus, the air flow is directed flow areas in the datacenter where the computing systems are designed to be located and actually are installed in the datacenter. The magnetic blocking tiles have a top surface that is solid and a bottom surface. The magnetic blocking tiles adhere magnetically to either the raised floor or the perforated tiles.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Compass Datacenters, LLCInventors: Jose Alberto Ruiz, Christopher J.

Publication number: 20180225616Abstract: A digital checklist is presented by a graphical user interface of an on-line application on a display of a mobile computing device. The on-line application communicates and cooperates with an artificial intelligence engine. The artificial intelligence engine reviews data recorded in the digital checklist. The on-line application inserts a date and time stamp for data collected on two or more steps of the digital checklist when the data is recorded. The artificial intelligence engine perform one or more actions based on the date and time stamps for a completed digital checklist. The artificial intelligence engine is coded that when it detects an anomaly, then the artificial intelligence engine is configured to generate a report and communicate that report.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2017Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: Joe Dale Jones, Gerald Henry Leekey, Christopher J.

Patent number: 9603281Abstract: A modular datacenter facility is constructed with a set of building modules of different types of functionality to form an entire datacenter facility having a standardized pre-approved architectural design and layout. All instances of a particular type of building module will have approximately a same floor plan and architectural design. An initial set of building modules can be built upon a parcel of land, and then as needs of space and additional capacity of the modular datacenter facility increase, then at a future point in time additional building modules of the different types can be rapidly added to the initial set of building modules. The building modules of the different types use one or more connecting corridors architected into at least a first type of building module and corresponding aligned doorways between both building modules to interconnect two building modules adjacent and abutted to each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Compass Datacenters, LLCInventor: Christopher J.

Patent number: 9337688Abstract: A set of two or more modular-critical-power-distribution skids are arranged in a redundant power center configuration to supply power to electrical loads in a modular data center facility. The skids are housed in hardened buildings. The uninterruptable power supply is electrically and mechanically connected into the multiple power distribution cabinets, all of which are mounted onto a steel framed support structure, which supports a weight of those uninterruptable power supplies and power distribution cabinets. The environmental control system controls a cooling system for the modular-critical-power-distribution skids. Electrical power from the A-side and B-side connects in a redundant power configuration to electrical loads in the cooling system.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Modular Power Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Matthew John Englert, Simon D. Harkins, Christopher J. Crosby, Jr., Steven Emert
