  • Publication number: 20200084912
    Abstract: A modular data center includes a cooling module with a cooling module enclosure and a first cooling unit housed within the cooling module enclosure. The cooling module enclosure includes a first interface side wall with a first cooling module supply opening that receives a first portion of cooling air from the first cooling unit. The center further includes a data module with a data module enclosure for housing data equipment. The data module enclosure includes a second interface side wall with a first data module supply opening that receives the first portion of cooling air from the first cooling module supply opening such that the first portion of cooling air flows into the data module enclosure and removes heat from the data equipment.

  • Patent number: 10502441
    Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, relating to an air module and control thereof. An air module can include a controller, an air intake module configured to receive first air from a first air source and to receive second air from a second air source, an evaporative cooling module in fluid communication with the air intake module, and a mechanical cooling module in fluid communication with the evaporative cooling module. The controller can be configured to cause the intake module to mix the first air and the second air to form intake air, and selectively cool the intake air to form supply air by at least one of causing the evaporative cooling module to selectively cool the intake air, and causing the mechanical cooling module to selectively cool the intake.
