  • Publication number: 20130168062
    Abstract: A wind shielding device for a heat dissipating device of an electronic device includes a case defining an air outlet communicating with an exhaust hole of a blower, a plurality of blades rotatably received in the case, a retainer base fixed in the case, and a retainer element mounted on the retainer base. When wind blowing outwards from the exhaust hole spins the blades, the blades knock the retainer element out of the way, the retainer element is rotated and allows the blades to continuously rotate. When air from the outside attempts to enter the exhaust hole, the blades are spun to contact the other side of the retainer element, and the retainer element prevents further rotation in that direction.

  • Patent number: 8471402
    Abstract: A power supply system includes a number of aerogenerators, a number of rectifiers, and a direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converter. A first terminal of each rectifier is connected to a corresponding one of the aerogenerators. A first terminal of the DC/DC converter is connected to second terminals of the rectifiers. A second terminal of the DC/DC converter is connected to a power unit of a container data center. Each rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) generated by the corresponding aerogenerator to a pulsating direct current (DC). The DC/DC converter converts the pulsating DC to a constant voltage DC and supplies power to the power unit.

  • Publication number: 20130140002
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling an electronic device includes a heat exchanger, a first refrigerant pipe, a pump, a second refrigerant pipe, and a cooling apparatus. The heat exchanger, the first refrigerant pipe, the pump, and the second refrigerant pipe are connected in that order to form a first circulation system. The cooling apparatus is connected between the pump and the second refrigerant pipe. The cooling apparatus is exposed outside the electronic device. When the temperature outside the electronic device is higher than the temperature in the electronic device, the first circulation system cools the electronic device. When the temperature outside the electronic device is lower than the temperature in the electronic device, the refrigerant flows through the cooling apparatus to be cooled.

  • Publication number: 20130135818
    Abstract: A container data center includes a portable container, server cabinets, a decibel-meter, fans to cool the server cabinets, fan controlling systems to speed up or slow down the fans, an air conditioner to adjust a temperature inside the container, and a temperature adjustment system to receive a decibel level sensed by the decibel-meter. The temperature adjustment system compares the value of the received decibel level with a preset value. If the value of the received decibel level is greater than the preset value, the temperature adjustment system decreases the temperature of air outputted by the air conditioner, thereby the fan controlling systems slowing down the fans. If the value of the received decibel level is not greater than the preset value, the temperature adjustment system increases the temperature of the air outputted by the air conditioner, thereby the fan controlling systems speeding up the fans.

  • Publication number: 20130137357
    Abstract: A container data center includes a portable container, a number of server cabinets accommodated in the container, a shutter set on a side wall of the container, a temperature sensor to sense a temperature of air outside the container, a humidity sensor to sense a humidity of air outside the container, and a controlling device to receive the sensed temperature and the sensed humidity. The controlling device compares the sensed temperature with a preset temperature and compares the sensed humidity with a preset humidity range. When the sensed temperature is less than the preset temperature and the sensed humidity is in the preset humidity range, the controlling device opens the shutter. When the sensed temperature is higher than the preset temperature or the sensed humidity is outside of the preset humidity range, the controlling device closes the shutter.
