  • Patent number: 10908658
    Abstract: A system for cooling computing devices may include at least one facility, at least one cool air aisle disposed within the at least one facility, at least one hot air aisle, at least one air inlet, and at least one exhaust outlet. The system may also include a plurality of computing devices including a plurality of computing device fans arranged within the at least one cool air aisle. An internal air pressure within the at least one cool air aisle provided via the plurality of computing device fans may be lower than an external air pressure of the external environment. The plurality of computing device fans may be configured to provide sufficient airflow of outside air through the at least one facility to cool the plurality of computing devices.

  • Patent number: 10806055
    Abstract: A system for cooling computing devices within a facility includes an air inlet that delivers cool air to a supply air space within the facility, an exhaust air damper that is configured to exhaust heated air from an exhaust air space within the facility, and computing devices that are arranged within the facility to at least partially partition the supply air space from the exhaust air space. The system also includes an air filter that is configured to filter the cool air and a mixing damper that is positioned within the interior space of the facility and that is operable to control an amount of exhaust air that is mixed with the cool air. The cool air and/or a portion of the exhaust air are used to cool the computing devices and airflow through the system is substantially driven by fans of the computing devices.
