Abstract
An equipment enclosure ( ) includes an interior cavity ( ) housing a plurality of equipment compartments ( ) configured to form vertical stacks, and a lower compartment ( ) for housing batteries and/or other equipment. Airflow through the lower compartment ( ) is isolated from airflow within the interior cavity ( ). Heat exchangers ( ) are included for cooling internal air circulating air within the equipment enclosure ( ) with external ambient air. Each heat exchanger ( ) draws external ambient air indirectly through the lower compartment ( ) and directly from the external environment, and exhausts the air back to the external environment. The external ambient airflow through each heat exchangers ( ) is used to cool internal air circulating within the enclosure ( ). The cooled internal air is provided through an opening ( ) positioned proximate the bottom of the interior cavity ( ). Air baffles ( ) are positioned between each pair of vertically adjacent equipment compartments ( ) to prevent internal air from flowing vertically through vertically adjacent equipment compartments ( ).
