Abstract
A method for forming a system. A cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container of rack units to allow a cooling fluid to flow through a flexible tube into each rack container via the cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube. The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device. Each heat generating device is configured to generate heat while in operation. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container. The cooling fluid is configured to be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device. An exhaust conduit is secured on the top surface of each rack container to allow the heated cooling fluid to be exhausted from each rack container via the exhaust conduit.
