Container data center

Abstract

A container data center includes a container and a number of server systems arranged in two rows. An intake is defined in a top wall of the container. An outlet is defined in a sidewall of the container adjacent to the bottom of the container. Air outside the container is drawn into the container through the intake to cool the server systems. Hot air dissipated by the server systems is exhausted out of the container through the outlet of the container.

1 . A container data center to be cooled with air outside the container data center, the container data center comprising:
 a mobile container comprising a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and a plurality of sidewalls connected between the top wall and the bottom wall; and   a plurality of server systems installed in the container, and arranged in two parallel rows;   wherein an intake is defined in the top wall of the container, an outlet is defined in one of the sidewalls of the container, adjacent to the bottom wall of the container, air outside the container is driven into the container through the intake of the container to cool the server systems, hot air dissipated by the server systems is exhausted out of the container through the outlet of the container.   
     
     
         2 . The container data center of  claim 1 , further comprising an air input device to drive the air outside the container into the container, a heat exchanger to cool the air flowing into the container, and an air exhaust device to drive the hot air inside the container out of the container through the outlet, wherein the air input device is attached to the top wall of the container, and aligned with the intake, the heat exchanger is arranged adjacent to the air input device, the air exhaust device aligns with the outlet. 
     
     
         3 . The container data center of  claim 2 , wherein a rain shield is disposed on the top wall of the container to cover the air input device. 
     
     
         4 . The container data center of  claim 2 , wherein the container further comprises a raised floor parallel and close to the bottom wall of the container, the raised floor supports the server systems, and defines an opening therein, the air exhaust device and the outlet are arranged between the raised floor and the bottom wall, the air exhaust device is aligned with the opening of the raised floor. 
     
     
         5 . The container data center of  claim 4 , wherein a heat shield is connected between tops of the server systems, a hot aisle is defined among the server systems, the heat shield, and the raised floor, a cold aisle is defined among the sidewalls of the container, the server systems, the heat shield, and the raised floor, the opening of the raised floor communicates with the hot aisle. 
     
     
         6 . The container data center of  claim 1 , wherein an air filter is disposed in the intake of the container.
