[0043] The application provides a standard data machine room module 1, which can be used as a standardized IT module of a data center, can be quickly copied and deployed to different places, helps to reduce construction cost, shorten construction period, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency of the data center.

[0044] The standard data machine room module 1 of the application includes two prefabricated module units 11, a server cabinet 12, a liquid cooling pipeline unit 13, and an auxiliary unit. The prefabricated module unit 11 can be used to pre-assemble equipment before leaving the factory, and the prefabricated module unit 11 is assembled after being transported to the site, realizing quick installation. The server cabinet 12 has internal servers. The auxiliary unit includes a power distribution unit 14, a network unit, and a hot aisle return air unit. The power distribution unit 14 can be regarded as a terminal power distribution unit 14, which is configured to be used for power supply of the internal servers of the server cabinet 12. The network unit is responsible for data transmission and network connection. The hot aisle return air unit is responsible for collecting and circulating heat to maintain a suitable operating environment for the data center. The liquid cooling pipeline is configured to cool the internal servers of the server cabinet 12.

The staff can pre-allocate the server cabinet 12, the liquid cooling pipeline unit 13, and the auxiliary unit to two prefabricated module units 11, select the up-down stacking order of the two prefabricated module units 11 on site, and customize according to the specific functions and installation positions of the required building database, increase the building flexibility of the standard data machine room module 1, and fully meet the individual needs of customers.

[0047] The internal servers of the server cabinet 12 of the application adopt GB200 super chip processing units, complete the integration of the GB200 super chip processing units, and combine advanced GPU technology and modular design concept to meet the needs of modern data centers for high-performance computing and flexibility.

[0048] Figure 1 A structural diagram of the standard data machine room module 1 in an embodiment is shown. Figure 2 A structural front view of the standard data machine room module 1 is shown. Figure 3Fig. 1 shows a structural diagram of a standard data center module 1 according to an embodiment. The vertical direction in the figure is the up-down direction.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the prefabricated module unit 11 comprises a frame and a vertical support, the frame comprising four vertical columns 111 and at least two transversely spaced truss transfer beams 112. The longitudinal ends of the truss transfer beam 112 are respectively connected to a vertical column 111. The truss transfer beam 112 comprises an upper chord 1121, a lower chord 1122 and a plurality of diagonal web members 1123, the upper chord 1121 and the lower chord 1122 extending longitudinally and vertically corresponding, and the plurality of diagonal web members 1123 being connected between the upper chord 1121 and the lower chord 1122.

[0050] Specifically, the upper chord 1121, the lower chord 1122 and the diagonal web member 1123 form a truss transfer beam in the vertical plane. The axial ends of the upper chord 1121 and the lower chord 1122 are respectively positioned with two vertical columns 111. A plurality of first connecting portions are longitudinally spaced on the upper chord 1121, and a plurality of second connecting portions are longitudinally spaced on the lower chord 1122, a second connecting portion being located above the adjacent two first connecting portions, and the axial ends of a first web member 113 being obliquely connected between the adjacent first connecting portion and the second connecting portion of the same pair of longitudinal beams 116.

[0051] As shown in Figs. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the truss transfer beam 112 is arranged on the lower prefabricated module unit 11. The upper chord 1121 of the lower prefabricated module unit 11 can abut against the bottom surface of the frame of the upper prefabricated module unit 11. In this embodiment, the vertical support is connected between the upper chord 1121 of the lower prefabricated module unit 11 and the bottom of the frame of the upper prefabricated module unit 11, the upper chord 1121 of the lower prefabricated module unit 11 can abut against the frame of the upper prefabricated module unit 11 through the vertical support, and the vertical support can convert the vertical load of the bottom of the frame of the upper prefabricated module unit 11 to the truss transfer beam of the lower prefabricated module unit 11. The vertical support is provided with at least one, or two or more longitudinally spaced vertical supports, forming a fulcrum and a connecting point between the upper and lower prefabricated module units 11.

[0052] The cooperation of the vertical support and the truss structure conversion beam 112 can share and convert the load borne by the frame of the prefabricated module unit 11 above and transmit part of the load to the column 111 of the prefabricated module unit 11 below until the ground, so that the load distribution of the frame is more uniform, the load-bearing capacity of the prefabricated module unit 11 is increased, and the risk of bending and breaking of the top chord 1121 due to excessive stress at a certain position is avoided. The truss structure conversion beam 112 ensures the strength of the prefabricated module unit 11, and through the form of the truss conversion beam 112, the distance between the columns is reasonably reduced, and the steel consumption of the prefabricated module unit 11 is optimized, and the setting of the steel structure is reduced.

[0053] In addition, the vertical support can be a pad plate arranged between the top chord 1121 and the longitudinal rod 116 of the prefabricated module unit 11 above, which can be a steel plate fixed by threads, or connected by connecting bolts, connecting plates, welding and other methods to ensure that the load borne by the prefabricated module unit 11 above can be smoothly transmitted to the top chord 1121 below. In addition, the vertical support can also be part of the top chord 1121 or the frame. It should be noted that the top chord 1121 and the bottom chord 1122 can also be regarded as longitudinal rods 116 extending along the longitudinal direction of the frame.

[0054] Further, the truss structure conversion beam 112 further comprises a plurality of vertical web members 1124 connected between the top chord 1121 and the bottom chord 1122. In the embodiment, the top end of a vertical web member 1124 is connected to the position where two inclined web members 1123 are connected to each other, and the bottom end of the vertical web member 1124 extends vertically and is connected to the bottom chord 1122. Specifically, the top end of the vertical web member 1124 is connected to the first connecting portion of the top chord 1121, and the bottom end is connected vertically to the bottom chord 1122. The vertical web member 1124 can cooperate with the inclined web member 1123 to play a role in converting the load and improving the strength of the prefabricated module unit 11. In addition, the position where the two inclined web members 1123 are connected to each other can also not be provided with the vertical web member 1124. In fact, the top end and the bottom end of the vertical web member 1124 can be connected only between the top chord 1131 and the bottom chord 1122, etc., and the embodiment does not limit the specific connection position of the top end and the bottom end of the vertical web member 1124.

[0055] Figure 1 And Figure 3 In the prefabricated module unit 11, the frame comprises four columns 111, four transversely extending cross rods 115, and at least two truss structure conversion beams 112 arranged transversely. The prefabricated module unit 11 below is composed of four cross rods 115, two top chords 1121, two bottom chords 1122 and four columns 111 connected at the end to form a rectangular outer frame structure. The server cabinet 12, the cabinet unit 121 and the liquid cooling pipe unit 13 are arranged in the outer frame structure formed by the frame of the prefabricated module unit 11.

[0056] Specifically, four horizontal bars 115 are arranged in pairs, one above the other. Two sets of these pairs of horizontal bars are spaced longitudinally. Two vertical posts 1125 connect the pairs of horizontal bars 115, spaced laterally. Four truss transfer beams 112 are spaced laterally. The two truss transfer beams 112 at the beginning and end of the truss structure are connected to columns 111 at their longitudinal ends, while the remaining two truss transfer beams 112 are each connected to a vertical post 1125 at their longitudinal ends. The vertical posts 1125 provide connection points for the central truss transfer beams 112 and also provide support for the horizontal bars 115. Four truss transfer beams 112 on a prefabricated module unit 11 provide support in the middle of the prefabricated module unit 11, improving its strength. In practice, a prefabricated module unit 11 can have two, three, or even more truss transfer beams 112.

[0057] Furthermore, the frame also includes staggered first web members 113 and second web members 114. Between two laterally adjacent truss transition beams 112, the vertical web member 1124 on one truss transition beam 112 is the first vertical web member 1124, and the vertical web member 1124 on the other truss transition beam 112 is the second vertical web member 1124. One axial end of the first web member 113 is connected to the top of the first vertical web member 1124, and the other axial end is connected to the bottom of the second vertical web member 1124. One axial end of the second web member 114 is connected to the bottom of the first vertical web member 1124, and the other axial end is connected to the top of the second vertical web member 1124. Specifically, the first web member 113 and the second web member 114 extend obliquely in the lateral direction, and the connection between the first web member 113 and the second web member 114 further improves the strength and stability of the prefabricated module unit 11 and enhances the support effect.

[0058] In fact, the truss structure transfer beam 112 can be set on a prefabricated modular unit 11, specifically, it can be set on the prefabricated modular unit 11 located at the bottom, or as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the truss structure transfer beam 112 is installed on the upper prefabricated modular unit 11. At this time, the upper chord 1121 of the upper prefabricated modular unit 11 can abut against the bottom surface of the frame of the prefabricated modular unit 11 located above it. This ensures that the load on the upper prefabricated modular unit 11 can be smoothly transferred to the lower upper chord 1121.

[0059] In another prefabricated module unit 11 without the truss structure conversion beam 112, the prefabricated module unit 11 is surrounded by a cuboid outer frame structure formed by four vertical columns 111, four longitudinal rods 116 extending in the longitudinal direction, and four transverse rods 115 extending in the transverse direction. In order to facilitate transportation and improve the stability during transportation, steel wires can be cross-connected between the corresponding longitudinal rods 116 and the corresponding transverse rods 115 of the prefabricated module unit 11.

[0060] In fact, the truss structure conversion beam 112 can be arranged on all prefabricated module units 11.

[0061] Further, the bottom surface of the frame of the prefabricated module unit 11 is paved with a sealing plate 117 to improve the sealing effect of the internal equipment of the prefabricated module unit 11. The top surface of the frame of the prefabricated module unit 11 is paved with a waterproof plate 118 to reduce water leakage and seepage during transportation and normal use.

[0062] Further, the frame includes a plurality of mounting plates. The top and bottom of the vertical column 111 are provided with mounting plates. The mounting plates extend in the horizontal direction to provide connection positions for the vertically stacked prefabricated module units 11, so that the upper and lower adjacent prefabricated module units 11 can be connected and fixed.

[0063] In this embodiment, the upper and lower stacked prefabricated module units 11 are detachably connected, which facilitates disassembly and reuse.

[0064] Further, the frame includes a plurality of mounting plates. The top and bottom of the vertical column 111 are provided with mounting plates. The mounting plates extend in the horizontal direction to provide connection positions for the vertically stacked prefabricated module units 11, so that the upper and lower adjacent prefabricated module units 11 can be connected and fixed.

[0065] The standard data center module 1 also includes a connecting piece and a locking piece.

[0066] The connecting piece is arranged between two vertically adjacent prefabricated module units 11. The connecting piece includes a connecting plate, and an upper positioning column and a lower positioning column arranged on the top and bottom of the connecting plate. The upper positioning column can be arranged in the positioning hole of the prefabricated module unit 11 above. The lower positioning column can be arranged in the positioning hole of the prefabricated module unit 11 below, thereby positioning the prefabricated module unit 11 above and the prefabricated module unit 11 below, reducing the misalignment between the prefabricated module units 11 above and below, and facilitating subsequent connection. Specifically, the upper positioning column and the lower positioning column can be fixed on the connecting plate by welding or the like.

[0067] The locking element is used to connect and lock the connecting plate and the mounting plates on the upper and lower prefabricated module units 11. Specifically, it can be implemented using bolts or other locking structures. Connecting the upper and lower prefabricated module units 11 by first positioning and then locking improves installation efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the connecting element ensures that the upper and lower positioning posts maintain the positioning between the upper and lower prefabricated module units 11 even if the locking element fails, improving safety. In other embodiments, the upper and lower prefabricated module units 11 can also be connected and fixed by multiple bolts, or by using limiting structures and / or clamping structures.

[0068] In addition, the prefabricated modular unit 11 can be used as a building unit or a skid unit. Both building units and skid units are modular units that can be pre-designed, manufactured, tested, and quickly deployed on site.

[0069] When the prefabricated module unit 11 is a building unit, the module assembled by vertically stacking the prefabricated module unit 11 can be used as a building module, and two or three building modules can be directly used as a building structure after assembly.

[0070] A skid unit is a prefabricated building block for a data center. When the prefabricated module unit 11 is a skid unit, the data center also includes a building structure. The interior of the building structure has installation space to accommodate multiple standard data center modules. Furthermore, by directly stacking and assembling multiple prefabricated module units 11 inside the building structure, the secondary impact of the construction process on the building structure is reduced. Moreover, the building structure can provide rain protection for the prefabricated module units 11, reducing the risk of water leakage in the data center. At the same time, multiple prefabricated module units 11 do not need to be waterproofed or function as a building between them, which reduces the precision required for the installation of multiple prefabricated module units 11 and reserves installation space.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the standard data center module 1 also includes a server rack 12, auxiliary units, and a liquid cooling pipe unit 13. The server rack 12 and auxiliary units are configured within the upper prefabricated module unit 11. The liquid cooling pipe unit 13 is configured within the lower prefabricated module unit 11.

[0072] Specifically, the server rack 12 and auxiliary units are positioned higher than the liquid cooling piping unit 13. The liquid cooling piping unit 13 can be separately configured in the lower prefabricated module unit 11, providing planning space for the installation of HVAC equipment and piping. The server rack 12 and auxiliary units are integrated within the same prefabricated module unit 11, facilitating wiring connections.

[0073] Alternatively, the server rack 12 and auxiliary units can be integrated into the prefabricated module unit 11 at the bottom, while the liquid cooling pipe unit 13 can be separately configured in the prefabricated module unit 11 at the top.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the liquid cooling pipe unit 13 and the server rack 12 are integrated into the prefabricated module unit 11 at the lower or upper part, and the auxiliary unit is separately configured in the prefabricated module unit 11 at the upper or lower part.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the liquid cooling pipe unit 13 and the auxiliary unit are integrated into the prefabricated module unit 11 at the lower or upper part, while the server rack 12 is respectively configured in the prefabricated module unit 11 at the upper or lower part.

[0076] The above provides six possible configuration positions for the server rack 12, liquid cooling pipe unit 13, and auxiliary unit in the two prefabricated module units 11, allowing the positions of various functional units within the IT module to be flexibly changed to better meet the personalized needs of customers.

[0077] In other embodiments, the standard data center module 1 may include three prefabricated module units 11, which are vertically detachable and stackable. The server rack 12, auxiliary unit, and liquid cooling pipe unit 13 are each configured one-to-one with one of the three prefabricated module units 11. The server rack 12, auxiliary unit, and liquid cooling pipe unit 13 can be configured with one of the prefabricated module units 11, thus the standard data center module 1 in this embodiment can have six possible configuration positions.

[0078] Furthermore, the server rack 12 includes multiple rack units 121 arranged side-by-side, each housing an internal server, which is a GB200 super chip processing unit. The integration of the GB200 super chip processing unit allows this application to combine advanced GPU technology with a modular design concept to meet the demands of modern data centers for high-performance computing and flexibility. Specifically, the prefabricated modular unit 11 extends longitudinally, allowing multiple rack units 121 to be arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction, facilitating space planning. The rack units 121 can be secured to the frame of the prefabricated modular unit 11 using bolts or other connecting structures. Additionally, the internal servers can also employ GB100 processing units or other server models. A network unit can be located within the rack unit 121.

[0079] The liquid cooling piping unit 13 can be connected to the heat sink or heat exchanger inside the internal server via coolant pipes, carrying away the heat generated by the internal server through the coolant. After flowing through the heat exchanger inside the server rack 12, the coolant is pumped back to the cooling system, where the heat is dissipated, the coolant is cooled, and it is then recycled. The liquid cooling piping unit 13 may also include components such as temperature sensors and flow control valves to monitor and regulate the flow rate and temperature of the coolant.

[0080] Furthermore,Figure 1 The auxiliary unit is located at the top of the server rack 12. A suspended ceiling 15 is installed within the upper prefabricated module unit 11, positioned above the server rack 12 and avoiding the power distribution unit 14. A hot aisle return air unit is installed within the suspended ceiling 15, allowing hot air generated by the server rack 12 to be exhausted to the external cooling wall module 3. Specifically, the internal servers of the server rack 12 generate heat during operation, which is exhausted through the exhaust vents of the server rack 12, forming hot air. The external cooling wall module 3 includes a cooler; the hot air is drawn into the external cooling wall module 3 through the hot aisle return air unit, where it is circulated and cooled.

[0081] The power distribution unit 14 of this application, as a terminal power distribution unit 14, can receive power from the main power supply or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system of the data center and distribute it to the various internal servers and other IT equipment in the server rack 12. The power distribution unit 14 is connected to the internal servers in the rack unit 121 via power lines to provide a stable power supply to the internal servers. The power distribution unit 14 may also include power monitoring and management functions to facilitate monitoring of power usage and remote control of the power supply.

[0082] The auxiliary units and liquid cooling pipe units 13 are key support systems for the normal operation of the server rack 12. Within the auxiliary units, the power distribution unit 14 is responsible for power supply, the network unit for data transmission and network connectivity, and the hot aisle return air unit for collecting and circulating heat to maintain a suitable operating environment for the data center. The liquid cooling pipe units 13 are responsible for heat dissipation. All of these components need to work closely with the server rack 12, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the modular data center through appropriate connections and layout.

[0083] Above the server rack 12 is a cable tray 16, which is used for the installation and organization of power cables and network cables.

[0084] This application also provides a modular data center. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the composition of a modular data center according to one embodiment is shown. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the modular data center composition in another embodiment is shown.

[0085] The modular data center includes at least one standard data center module; at least one corridor module disposed on at least one side of the standard data center module; and at least one cooling wall module assembled on at least one side of the standard data center module and the corridor module, the cooling wall module being configured to receive hot air from the server racks of all the standard data center modules.

[0086] like Figure 4As shown, the modular data center includes four standard data center modules 1, five corridor modules 2, and two cooling wall modules 3.

[0087] Specifically, four standard data center modules 1 are arranged horizontally at intervals. Corridor modules 2 are located on both sides of each standard data center module 1, and a corridor module 2 connects any two adjacent standard data center modules 1. Cooling wall modules 3 extend horizontally, with two cooling wall modules 3 located on the longitudinal sides of each standard data center module 1 and on the longitudinal sides of each corridor module 2. The cooling wall modules 3 are configured to receive hot air from the server racks 12 of all the standard data center modules 1.

[0088] The standard data center module 1 is connected to corridor modules 2 on both sides. Corridor modules 2 provide a pathway for power, network, and other cables between IT modules, ensuring neat and safe cabling. They also provide ample passage for maintenance personnel, facilitating equipment maintenance and repair. Fire protection systems can be installed within corridor modules 2 to enhance data center security. Furthermore, corridor modules 2 serve a connecting and supporting role in the modular data center, providing a stable installation platform for upper-level equipment and ensuring the stability of the data center structure.

[0089] In practice, the cooling air wall modules 3 are located on both longitudinal sides of the prefabricated module unit 11, and can communicate with the hot aisle return air unit within the prefabricated module unit 11. Hot air generated inside the server rack 12 can be drawn into the cooling air wall modules 3 for cooling, improving the cooling effect on the server rack 12. The cooling air wall modules 3 at both ends are mainly responsible for heat dissipation in the data center, specifically employing air wall-type heat dissipation to improve heat dissipation efficiency and reduce data center energy consumption. Furthermore, the cooling air wall modules 3 of this application adopt a modular design for easy maintenance and replacement.

[0090] Furthermore, the cooling air wall module 3 includes fan wall units 31. Multiple fan wall units 31 are provided, with one fan wall unit 31 at each of the longitudinal ends of a prefabricated module unit 11. Specifically, the fan wall units 31 are connected to the hot aisle return air unit and are primarily responsible for managing airflow. Each fan wall unit 31 consists of multiple fans, providing a large volume of cooling airflow to remove heat generated by electronic equipment (such as internal servers) within the data center. During operation, the fan wall units 31 draw in hot indoor air, cool it, and then blow the cool air back into the room, forming a circulation to maintain a stable indoor temperature.

[0091] The cooling wall module 3 also includes a liquid-cooled cabinet 32 ​​and a cooling capacity distribution unit (CDU) 33. The liquid-cooled cabinet 32 ​​is a device that uses coolant to absorb heat from electronic equipment. It can usually be in direct contact with electronic components that generate a lot of heat (such as high-performance servers, GPUs, etc.), absorbing heat through the circulating coolant and then carrying the heat to the outside for heat dissipation.

[0092] In this embodiment, the cooling capacity distribution unit CDU33 is responsible for distributing the cooling capacity generated by the refrigeration system to various devices or areas that require cooling. The cooling capacity distribution unit CDU33 is typically connected to the refrigeration system (such as the liquid-cooled piping unit 13) and the fan wall unit 31 or the liquid-cooled cabinet 32. It ensures that the coolant flows at the appropriate pressure and flow rate, while monitoring and regulating the coolant temperature to ensure the efficient operation of the cooling system.

[0093] The fan wall unit 31, the liquid-cooled cabinet 32, and the cooling capacity distribution unit CDU33 work together in the cooling fan wall unit system. The fan wall unit 31 is responsible for airflow and initial heat removal, the liquid-cooled cabinet 32 ​​is responsible for efficiently absorbing heat from the equipment, and the cooling capacity distribution unit ensures the cooling capacity and stability of the entire system.

[0094] In addition, the cooling wall module 3 can automatically adjust the cooling power according to factors such as indoor and outdoor ambient temperature and humidity to achieve energy-saving operation.

[0095] Standard data center module 1, corridor module 2, and cooling wall module 3 together form a Super POD. In this embodiment, four standard data center modules 1, five corridor modules 2, and two cooling wall modules 3 together form a Super POD. In fact, the standard data center modules 1 within a Super POD can be arranged by stacking layers or laying them horizontally.

[0096] Multiple Super PODs can be expanded horizontally or vertically, meaning they can be directly installed horizontally on the ground or stacked in multiple layers to form a large-scale computing power cluster data center. Furthermore, more standard data center modules 1, corridor modules 2, or cooling modules can be added to increase the capacity and processing power of the modular data center. This application provides a flexible, efficient, and scalable modular data center solution.

[0097] In other embodiments, within a single modular data center (a single Super POD), there may be only one, two, three, or more than five prefabricated module units 11 and corridor units. There may also be only one cooling air wall module 3. Specifically, a prefabricated module unit 11 and a corridor unit may be arranged side-by-side, with a cooling air wall module 3 positioned at one longitudinal end of the prefabricated module unit 11.

[0098] Within a single modular data center, the number of prefabricated module units 11, corridor units, and cooling wall modules 3 can be flexibly varied, and their positions can be flexibly assembled. The specific assembly positions and methods can be adjusted according to customer needs.

[0099] Reference Figure 5 The modular data center also includes an outer corridor 4. After the standard data room module 1, corridor module 2 and cooling wall module 3 are combined to form a Super POD, the outer corridor 4 surrounds the Super POD, which facilitates maintenance work by staff and also protects the Super POD. The outer corridor 4 has space for setting up equipment.
