A datacenter cooling apparatus includes a portable housing having lifting and transporting structures for moving the apparatus, opposed sides in the housing, at least one of the opposed sides defining one or more air passage openings arranged to capture warmed air from rack-mounted electronics, opposed ends in the housing, at least one of the opposed ends defining one or more air passage openings positioned to allow lateral passage of captured air into and out of the housing, and one or more cooling coils associated with the housing to receive and cool the captured warm air, and provide the cooled air for circulation into a datacenter workspace.

Modular data center cooling

A rack-mount computer system includes one or more rows of computer racks, wherein each row of computer racks includes a pair of rows of computer racks positioned back-to-back relative to each other, a plurality of computer motherboards mounted in each of the racks in each row of computer racks and having front edges open to a workspace for receiving circulating air over the motherboards, the motherboards positioned to create a warm air plenum near a back edge of each motherboard, and a fan positioned adjacent each of the plurality of computer motherboards to circulate air across the computer motherboards and into the warm air plenum.

A system can include an enclosure having an exterior surface and an interior region that is characterized by a width and a length that is longer than the width; a plurality of trays mounted in racks that line a majority of each side of the length of the interior region and that define an aisle therebetween which is suitable for passage by one or more human occupants; cooling coils configured to capture heat generated by the plurality of trays and exhaust the heat outside the interior region; a plurality of connections on the exterior surface for supplying electrical power to the plurality of trays, supplying cooling fluid to the cooling coils, and for receiving cooling fluid discharged from the cooling coils; and doors at either end of the aisle configured and positioned to facilitate emergency egress from the enclosure by a human occupant.
