Abstract

A modular integrated cooling system includes an enclosure, the enclosure including an outlet top opening and two or more inlet face openings. The modular integrated cooling system includes a fan positioned at the outlet top opening. The modular integrated cooling system includes two or more cooling cores positioned within the enclosure, each cooling core positioned at a corresponding inlet face opening.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular integrated cooling system comprising:
 an enclosure, the enclosure including an outlet top opening and two or more inlet face openings;   a fan positioned at the outlet top opening; and   two or more cooling cores positioned within the enclosure, each cooling core positioned at a corresponding inlet face opening.   
     
     
         2 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein a first cooling core of the two or more cooling cores is positioned vertically above a second cooling core of the two or more cooling cores. 
     
     
         3 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein a cooling core of the two or more cooling cores is a lube oil cooler, motor cooler, or VFD cooler. 
     
     
         4 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein a cooling core of the two or more cooling cores comprises a radiator, heat exchanger, evaporator, motor, or pump. 
     
     
         5 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 4 , wherein each of the two or more cooling cores are adapted to cool a liquid coolant. 
     
     
         6 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure further comprises an access panel. 
     
     
         7 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 6  further comprising a controller positioned behind the access panel. 
     
     
         8 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 6 , wherein the controller is adapted to control a fan speed of the fan based on a temperature inside the enclosure. 
     
     
         9 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure is a rectangular prism or has a trapezoidal cross section. 
     
     
         10 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1  having no mesh guards. 
     
     
         11 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein each cooling core includes:
 a coolant pump;   a coolant motor, the coolant motor driving the coolant pump; and   a cooler, the cooler in fluid connection with the coolant pump.   
     
     
         12 . The modular integrated cooling system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooler is a radiator, heat exchanger, or evaporator. 
     
     
         13 . A fracking system comprising:
 a pump;   a motor;   a VFD; and
 a modular integrated cooling system comprising:
 an enclosure, the enclosure including an outlet top opening and three or more inlet face openings; 
 a fan positioned at the outlet top opening; 
 a lube oil cooler positioned within the enclosure at a first inlet face opening of the three or more inlet face openings and operatively coupled to a pump; 
 a motor cooler positioned within the enclosure at a second inlet face opening of the three or more inlet face openings and operatively coupled to the motor; and 
 a VFD cooler positioned within the enclosure at a third inlet face opening of the two or more inlet face openings and operatively coupled to the VFD. 
 
   
     
     
         14 . The fracking system of  claim 13 , wherein the lube oil cooler, motor cooler, or VFD cooler is a radiator, heat exchanger, or evaporator. 
     
     
         15 . A method for cooling a plurality of coolant liquids from a fracking system comprising:
 providing a modular integrated cooling system, the modular integrated cooling system including:
 an enclosure, the enclosure including an outlet top opening and two or more inlet face openings; and 
 a fan positioned at the outlet top opening; 
   positioning at least one fan in the outlet top opening;   positioning a cooling core through each of the inlet face openings, wherein the cooling cores are one or more of a lube oil cooler, a motor cooler, or a VFD cooler;   operating the at least one fan to draw air through the inlet face openings and discharge the air through the outlet top opening;   transferring the liquid coolant through each of the cooling cores; and   cooling the liquid coolant.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising:
 measuring a temperature inside the enclosure; 
 a fan speed of the fan based on the temperature measured. 
 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising after cooling the liquid coolant transferring the liquid coolant to the lube oil cooler, the motor cooler, or the VFD cooler.
