Air conditioning system of portable data center
An air conditioning system of a portable data center includes a shipping container, plural data-processing devices and plural airflow-driving devices. The shipping container includes a partition plate and a bottom plate. The partition plate has plural hollow portions. The data-processing devices are disposed on the partition plate. The airflow-driving devices are disposed under the partition plate and aligned with respective hollow portions for driving and guiding airflow to cool the data processing devices. Each of the airflow-driving devices includes at least one fan and an airflow-blocking structure. The airflow-blocking structure is arranged in an airflow path of a corresponding airflow-driving device. If one of the airflow-driving devices is disabled, the airflow-blocking structure of the disabled airflow-driving device is automatically closed to hinder the airflow path.
1. An air conditioning system of a portable data center, said air conditioning system comprising:
a shipping container comprising a partition plate and a bottom plate, wherein said partition plate has plural hollow portions;
plural data-processing devices disposed on said partition plate; and
plural airflow-driving devices disposed under said partition plate and aligned with respective hollow portions for driving and guiding airflow to cool said data processing devices, wherein each of said airflow-driving devices comprises at least one fan, an airflow-blocking structure, and a mesh guard, wherein said mesh guard is disposed on said airflow-blocking structure to cover said airflow-blocking structure and used as a protecting cover of said airflow-blocking structure, wherein said airflow-blocking structure is arranged in an airflow path of a corresponding airflow-driving device, wherein if one of said airflow-driving devices is disabled, said airflow-blocking structure of said disabled airflow-driving device is automatically closed to hinder said airflow path.
2. The air conditioning system according to claim 1 , further comprising a heat exchanger, which is arranged between said partition plate and said bottom plate for adjusting temperature of said airflow.
3. The air conditioning system according to claim 1 , wherein said airflow-blocking structure is an air gate with plural movable leaves.
4. The air conditioning system according to claim 1 , wherein said airflow-blocking structure is arranged adjacent to an airflow outlet of said corresponding airflow-driving device.
5. The air conditioning system according to claim 1 , wherein each of said airflow-driving devices further comprises a controller, which is electrically connected with said fan and said airflow-blocking structure for controlling on/off statuses of said fan and open/close statuses of said airflow-blocking structure.
6. The air conditioning system according to claim 5 , wherein if one of said airflow-driving devices is disabled, a first signal is issued from said fan of said disabled airflow-driving device to said controller, wherein in response to said first signal, said controller issues a second signal to said airflow-blocking structure, and in response to said second signal, said airflow-blocking structure is closed.
7. The air conditioning system according to claim 1 , wherein said air conditioning system further comprises a controlling unit electrically connected with said fans and said airflow-blocking structures of said airflow-driving devices for controlling on/off statuses of said fans and open/close statuses of said airflow-blocking structures.
8. The air conditioning system according to claim 7 , wherein if one of said airflow-driving devices is disabled, a first signal is issued from said fan of said disabled airflow-driving device to said controlling unit, wherein in response to said first signal, said controlling unit issues a second signal to said airflow-blocking structure of said disabled airflow-driving device, and in response to said second signal, said airflow-blocking structure is closed.
