Container data center

Abstract

A container data center includes a container and a number of racks containing a number of computer servers. The racks divide the container into a first space and a second space. The container further includes a heat dissipation system including a first portion. The first portion includes a first intake communicating with the first space, an evaporator, and a first outlet communicating with the second space. The evaporator cools the airflow coming from the first space through the first intake, and the first outlet exhaust the cooled airflow to the second space.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container data center comprising:
 a plurality of racks accomodating a plurality of computer servers and arranged in at least one row; and   a container containing the plurality of racks and divided by the racks into a first space and a second space;   a heat dissipation system arranged in a top portion of the container, the heat dissipation system comprising a first portion defining a first intake communicating with the first space, a first outlet communicating with the second space, and an evaporator, wherein the evaporator cools airflow from the first space flowing through the first intake, and the first outlet exhausts the cooled airflow to the second space.   
     
     
         2 . The container data center as described in  claim 1 , wherein the first portion further comprises a fan arranged adjacent to the first intake or the first outlet. 
     
     
         3 . The container data center as described in  claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a top panel and a spacing plate, the spacing plate is spaced a preset distance from the top panel, the heat dissipation system further comprises a second portion, the first portion is arranged on a bottom side of the spacing plate and the second portion is arranged on a top side of the spacing plate, the second portion comprises a condenser connected with the evaporator by a first pipe and a second pipe; the condenser, the evaporator, the first pipe, and the second pipe form a loop which is filled with refrigerant, the evaporator allows compressed refrigerant to evaporate from its liquid state to gaseous state to cool hot airflow coming from the first space, the gaseous refrigerant flows from the evaporator to the condenser, the condenser is configured to condense the refrigerant from gaseous state to liquid state. 
     
     
         4 . The container data center as described in  claim 3 , wherein the second portion further defines a second intake communicating with an outside of the container, a second outlet communicating with the outside, and comprises a second fan arranged adjacent to the second intake or the second outlet, to accelerate airflow from outside of the container to the second portion through the second intake, and to accelerate airflow from the second portion to the outside of the container through the second outlet to cool the condenser. 
     
     
         5 . The container data center as described in  claim 3 , wherein the container further comprises a compressor connected between the evaporator and the condenser, the compressor is configured to increase the pressure of the gaseous refrigerant to circulate the refrigerant in the loop. 
     
     
         6 . The container data center as described in  claim 3 , wherein the container further comprises a valve connected between the evaporator and the condenser to control the flow of the refrigerant.
