AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a data center enclosure that can be easily moved and connected to a building to provide utilities. The enclosure includes a shipping container for housing equipment and a cooling module for cooling the hot exhaust air. The enclosure can also have a chilled water storage tank for providing chilled water to the data center. The technical effects of this invention include reducing the time and cost of planning and building data centers, as well as allowing for more efficient use of excess capacity.

Problems solved by technology

This planning time ties up a lot of capital as IT, rack, power, and cooling needs to be pre ordered and then painstakingly assembled and tested on site.
This long lead time forces the customers to pre-build before the capacity is needed, if ever.
Conventional raised floors, CRAC (computer room air conditioning), chiller equipment and plumbing, UPS rooms, distribution rooms may all be pre-built, potentially stranding a lot of capital if this excess capacity is not used.

Abstract

A cooling container comprises a container housing with a chilled water storage tank including a first interface for receiving chilled water. The chilled water tank has a plurality of straight pipes joined by elbows connections to provide a folded path, the full path length being greater than the length of the container housing, and a second interface for outputting the chilled water. A number of interfaces within the container housing are configured to receive a chiller module or a free cool unit.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application No. 12 / 754,938, filed Apr. 6, 2010, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for providing containerized data center infrastructure, including power distribution, cooling and equipment mounting facilities for electronic equipment, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for providing containerized data center solutions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Centralized data centers for computer, communications and other electronic equipment have been in use for a number of years, and more recently, with the increasing use of the Internet, large scale data centers that provide hosting services for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Application Service Providers (ASPs) and Internet content providers are becoming increasingly popular. Typical centralized data centers contain numerou...
