  • Publication number: 20210274686
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11073875
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10609843
    Abstract: 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.
