In some examples, a system uses ambient air from outside a controlled airflow environment to cool equipment within the controlled airflow environment. The system can include ductwork that seals the ambient air from air outside of the ductwork within the controlled airflow environment. The system can further include a passive heat exchanger connected to the equipment and extending into an interior of the ductwork to allow heat exchange between the equipment and the ambient air. The system can further include a fan to flow the ambient air through the ductwork, the fan being connectable to the equipment to allow the equipment to control the operation of the fan.

Fan controlled ambient air cooling of equipment in a controlled airflow environment

A device for cooling an electronic component in a data center is provided. The device includes a closed loop, a first area, a second area, and a barrier. The closed loop includes a first portion and a second portion. The liquid flows around the closed loop. The first area is configured for dissipating heat from the electronic component in the data center to liquid in the first portion of the closed loop. The second area is configured for removing heat from the liquid in the second portion of the closed loop by receiving ambient air, which moves across the second portion, from outside the data center and configured for outputting the ambient air with the dissipated heat from the second area and the data center. The barrier is configured for preventing the ambient air from entering the first area.
