DATA CENTER COOLING SYSTEM
A data center cooling system utilizing natural elements in the environment includes a housing, a chimney, and a data center. The housing defines a cold air channel and a hot air channel separated by at least one separating piece. The chimney is mounted on the housing and aligned to the hot air channel. The data center is located in the housing. The data center includes an air inlet side and an air outlet side. The air inlet side is located in the cold air channel. The air outlet side is located in the hot air channel. Air from the cold air channel flows in the data center from the air inlet side to absorb heat of the data center, flows out of the data center into the hot air channel via the air outlet side, and is exhausted out of the housing via the chimney.
1 . A data center cooling system comprising:
a housing defining a cold air channel and a hot air channel separated by at least one separating piece;
a chimney mounted on the housing and aligned to the hot air channel, so that air in the hot air channel can pass to an inside of the chimney;
a data center located in the housing, the data center comprising an air inlet side and an air outlet side, the air inlet side located in the cold air channel, the air outlet side located in the hot air channel,
wherein air of the cold air channel flows into the data center from the air inlet side, absorbs heat from the data center, flows out of the data center into the hot air channel via the air outlet side, and is exhausted out of the hosing via the chimney.
2 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein air flows upwardly from the hot air channel to the chimney under Stack effect.
3 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the separating piece defines an opening which is aligned to the air outlet side of the data center.
4 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one separating piece comprises a pair of separating pieces, and the hot air channel is defined between the pair of separating pieces.
5 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the housing defines an first opening which is communicated to the cold air channel.
6 . The data center cooling system of claim 5 , wherein a pool is located behind the first opening.
7 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of growing plants is coated on an outer side of the housing.
8 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of floors.
9 . The data center cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is located in a pass or between two high buildings.
10 . A data center cooling system, comprising:
a housing comprising a separated to separate a cold air channel from a hot air channel;
a chimney located above the hot air channel;
a data center comprising an air inlet side and an air outlet side, the air inlet side located in the cold air channel, the air outlet side located in the hot air channel;
wherein air of the cold air channel flows in the data center from the air inlet side to absorb heat of the data center, flows out of the data center into the hot air channel via the air outlet side, and flows upwardly from the hot air channel to the chimney under Stack effect.
11 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein the separating piece defines an opening which is aligned to the air outlet side of the data center.
12 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one separating piece comprises a pair of separating pieces, and the hot air channel is defined between the pair of separating pieces.
13 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein the housing defines an first opening which is communicated to the cold air channel.
14 . The data center cooling system of claim 13 , wherein a pool is located behind the first opening.
15 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein a plurality of growing plants is coated on an outer side of the housing.
16 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein the housing comprises a plurality of floors.
17 . The data center cooling system of claim 10 , wherein the housing is located in a pass or between two high buildings.
