A data center includes a structure having a floor, walls and a roof, and a plurality of rows of equipment racks positioned within the structure. The rows of equipment racks are arranged parallel to one another, with the rows of equipment racks defining alternating hot aisles and cold aisles. Each hot aisle is contained within the structure and in fluid communication with a hot aisle return. Each cold aisle includes a plurality of ceiling panels to contain air in the cold aisle. Each ceiling panel is configured to extend between equipment racks of adjacent rows of equipment racks to define the cold aisle and/or configured to extend between equipment racks of a row of equipment racks and an aisle end wall to define the cold aisle.

Airflow distribution and management architecture for large data center

A fan module for a cooling unit includes a housing configured to be secured within the cooling unit. The housing has a first open end and a second open end spaced from the first open end. The fan module further includes a fan assembly secured within the housing at the first open end of the housing. The fan assembly includes a fan support, a fan rotatably coupled to the fan support, and a motor coupled to the fan to drive rotation of the fan. The fan support is configured to support the fan assembly within the housing. The fan module further comprises a noise reduction assembly disposed in the housing adjacent the fan assembly to reduce noise generated by the fan assembly.

Cooling rack fan module and method of cooling

A cooling unit () includes a housing () having a front () and a back (), one or more fans () provided at either the front () or the back () of the housing (), and a V-shaped evaporator () positioned within the housing () and coupled to a source of liquid refrigerant. The V-shaped evaporator () has two panels extending from adjacent to the bottom () of the housing to adjacent to the top () of the housing () when positioning the evaporator () in the housing (). The arrangement is such that an inside of the panels of the evaporator () faces air being drawn through the housing () of the cooling unit () by the fan ().

Cooling unit and method

An air containment system () is configured to span an aisle () formed by two rows of racks () or by one row of racks () and a wall () to form a ceiling. The air containment system () includes a frame structure () configured to be supported by the two rows of racks () or by the one row of racks () and the wall (). The air containment system () further includes at least one ceiling panel () releasably supported by the frame structure (), and a lock assembly () coupled to the frame structure () and configured to release the at least one ceiling panel () upon detecting a predetermined condition. Embodiments of the air containment system () and methods for releasing ceiling panels () are further disclosed.
