Abstract: An equipment cabinet system for housing heat producing computing equipment. The system includes a rectangular shaped cabinet having an interior space defined between opposing top and bottom walls, opposing inner and outer side walls, and opposing front and rear doors. Disposed within the interior space are racks for supporting the computer equipment. The cabinet inner side wall includes an air inlet and an air outlet for air flow into and out of the cabinet interior space. A blower assembly is mounted on the front door disposed within the cabinet interior space, and an airflow directing baffle is provided on the rear door to deflect air flow horizontally towards the first air outlet. A cooling unit having an air-to-fluid heat exchanger provides cold air flow into the interior space of the cabinet and extracts heated air from the interior space of the cabinet.

Abstract: A data center system is disclosed. The data center includes a housing heat producing compute IT equipment, a photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector as a first electrical power source, a bio-gas power generator system as second electrical power source, a bio-oil power generator system as a third electrical power source, and a heat transfer system having a circulating coolant, wherein the heat transfer system captures and transfers taste heat generated by the compute IT equipment and the photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector to the circulating coolant, and transfers heat from the heated coolant to at least one of the bio-gas power generator system as a primary electrical power source for the IT equipment and the bio-oil power generator system as a secondary power source for the IT equipment.
