Abstract
Description
- Many businesses have extensive computer and telecommunication equipment which needs to be readily accessible and have the components housed in a manner that allow them to be easily replaced. This is accomplished through a data center comprising a series of racks which are configured to carry multiple electronic components. The data center provides a systematic way to provide power to these components along with the wiring necessary to operate them. Because electronic components generate significant heat, the data center also provides cooling air at the required level for the components in the data center. Constructing a data center of any complexity takes considerable time and incurs considerable expense. And yet, data centers often must be provided on short notice. In addition, a data center may be required at a particular location for only a short period of time, after which it may be necessary to disassemble it and move it to a new location. When this occurs, the data center is out of use while it is being disassembled and reassembled at considerable expense.
- The subject invention over comes this problem by providing a modular data center which contains all of the necessary infrastructure and can be built off-site in a factory and delivered to its desired location and become operational quickly and at less expense than building a data center from scratch on site. In addition, it can later be easily moved to a different location. This is accomplished with a unitary rack having multiple side-by-side bays configured to carry electronic components. The rack has a first passageway which provides access to the front side of the bays and a second passageway on the back side of the bays. A plurality of fans associated with the rack circulate cool air vertically through either the first or second passageway and then horizontally through the bays to cool the components mounted in the bays. In a preferred embodiment, the rack and fans can be inserted as a unit into a trailer or a container or walls can be built around the rack, either of which allows the entire data center to be easily moved.
- The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a trailer containing a modular data center embodying the subject invention. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the data center with its own walls and top. -
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary side elevation view showing an equalizer used to control air flow through a rack which is a component of the data center. -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 5 is a foreshortened perspective view of the rack. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 5 of the drawings, a mobile data center includes arack 10 which is a unitary structure preferably made frommetal tubing 12. The rack has a width “W”, a height “H” and length “L”. In the embodiment illustrated, the rack contains two rows of side-by-side bays 14 which are sized to carry multipleelectronic component chassis 16 each of which is capable of carrying multipleelectronic components 18. The rows of bays are separated from one another by afirst passageway 20 which is defined by thefront side 22 of thebays 14. Thechassis 16 are inserted into the bays and the electronic components are inserted into the chassis from thefront sides 22 and theelectronic components 18 are accessed from the passageway. In order to accommodate this, the passageway has a width which allows a person to walk through it. A series ofholes 24 are located at appropriate intervals in the front sides of thetubing 12 in order to allow the chassis to be bolted to the rack. Therack 10 extends rearwardly from theback side 26 of the bays to formsecond passageways 28 behind the bays. Thesecond passageways 28 contain the wiring (not shown) for theelectronic components 18, as well as provide a passageway for cooling air, as will be explained more fully later. Thesecond passageways 28 can be considerably narrower than thefirst passageway 20. Awire raceway 30 is attached to the top of the rack. - While the rack shown has two rows of
bays 14 separated by afirst passageway 20 on one side and has asecond passageway 28 on the other side, there could be different configurations. For example, there could be asingle bay 14 with afirst passageway 20 on one side and asecond passageway 28 on the other. The rack could also have more than two bays so long as each bay has afirst passageway 20 on one side and asecond passageway 28 on the other side. - Referring now in particular to
FIG. 2 , in use therack 10 preferably is placed on top of a self-containedfan unit 32. Thefan unit 32 has a free standingframe 34 which carries a plurality ofplenum fans 36. Preferably, thefans 36 are arranged in rows with one row of fans being located generally below each row ofbays 14. Preferably there is onefan 36 for eachbay 14. Thefans 36 are oriented such that theirinlets 38 are located below thesecond passageway 28 of the associated row ofbays 14 and theiroutlets 40 are located below thefirst passageway 20 when the rack is placed on top of thefan unit 32. Thefans 36 are preferably are plenum fans. - The top surface of the
fan unit frame 34, which underlies thesecond passageway 28, can either be open or can have agrate 42 or similar structure that can be walked on but air can readily flow through. The top surface of thefan unit frame 34 that underlies thefirst passageway 20 is configured to receive a porous panel or grate 44 either of which can be walked on and which air freely passes through.Cooling coils 47 are installed on theinlet sides 38 of thefans 36. Thecooling coils 47 receive refrigerant or chilled water from a chiller or condensingunit 49. - The
rack 10 can be used several ways. Referring toFIG. 1 , therack 10 andfan unit 32 can be inserted into atrailer 48. Depending on the height of thetrailer 48, thefan unit 32 might have to be placed in the trailer first and positioned in the trailer well before therack 10 is placed in the trailer. Installing therack 10 andfans 36 in a trailer provides a truly mobile unit. Therack 10 andfan unit 32 can be placed in the trailer, the fan unit provided with power and wiring can be installed for the electronic components in a factory. Thetrailer 48 can then be pulled to the site at which it will be used and theelectronic components 18 can easily be installed. In addition, thistrailer 48 can be moved from site to site as necessary. In this application, the width of therack 10 is just enough smaller than the width of thetrailer 48 that the rack can be put in the trailer. Thetrailer walls 50 define the outside boundary of thesecond passageways 28. A portion of thetrailer 48 can be used as thevestibule 51 which contains thechiller 49 which provides chilled refrigerant to thecooling coils 47. If desired, therack 10 andfan unit 32 could also be installed in a standard shipping container (not shown). Alternatively,walls 52 andtop 54 can be attached to theframe 10 andfan unit 32 using normal construction technology,FIG. 2 . This can either be done in a factory or at the site the data unit will be used. In operation, thefans 36 circulate cooled air through theracks 10. Air flowing out of theoutlets 40 of thefans 36 flows vertically upward in thefirst passageway 20. The air then flows horizontally through theelectronic components 18 located in thebays 14. The air then flows vertically downward through thesecond passageways 28 through thecooling coils 47 and into theinlets 38 of the fans. - Referring now to
FIGS. 3 and 4 ,equalizers 56 are mounted on theback side 26 of thebays 14. Theequalizers 56 allow regulating the amount of air that passes through different vertical portions of each bay. In a preferred embodiment, the equalizers includefirst plates 58 which are attached to the back side of eachbay 14. Thefirst plates 58 have a series ofelongated slots 60 extending through them. Slideably attached to eachfirst plate 58 is asecond plate 62 which has a series ofelongated slots 64 located in it, which are the same asslots 60. Thesecond plate 62 is movable relative to thefirst plate 58 between an open position where theslots slots 60 in thefirst plate 58 are completely covered by thesecond plate 62. Aratchet mechanism 66 allows eachsecond plate 62 to be moved incrementally between its open and closed positions. A tool (not shown) is inserted into areceptacle 68 in theratchet mechanism 66 to adjust thesecond plate 62 to the desired location. Because this requires access to thesecond passageways 28, atube 70,FIG. 1 , runs between thefront side 22 of thebays 14 to theback side 26 of the bays coincident with eachreceptacle 68 to allow the ratchet mechanism to be operated from thefirst passageway 20. In the embodiment illustrated, there are four (4)equalizers 56 in each bay, but there could be more or less depending on the application. - If the data center is going to be located outside in a region that has a cool season, a first vent opening 70 is placed in the
wall bay 14. Afirst shutter 72, located in each first vent opening 70, is movable between an open position where air can pass through it and a closed position where air cannot pass through it. A second vent opening 74 is placed in thewall fan 36. Asecond shutter 76, located in each second vent opening 74, is movable between and an open position where air can pass through it and a closed position where air cannot pass through it. - A
third shutter 78 is located in theopening 42 between thefan unit 32 and eachsecond passageway 28. Thethird shutter 78 is movable between an open position where air can pass through it and a closed position where air cannot pass through it. When the first andsecond shutters third shutter 78 is in its open position, air is circulated in the manner described above and as shown in the left hand side ofFIG. 2 . However, when the data center is placed outside, on a cool day the first andsecond shutters third shutter 78 can be placed in its closed position. Thefans 36 then draw outside air through thesecond vent openings 74 and into theirinlets 38. The air then exhausts the fans through theiroutlets 40 and goes vertically upwardly through thefirst passageways 20, through thebays 14 and out thefirst vent openings 70. - The terms and expressions which have been employed in the foregoing specification are used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and limited only by the claims which follow.
