[0034] image 3 It is a schematic side view showing the modular data center according to the first embodiment.

[0035] The modular data center according to this embodiment has a rectangular parallelepiped container 30 , a fan unit 32 arranged in the container 30 , and a plurality of racks 33 . An air intake port 31a is provided on one of two surfaces of the container 30 facing each other, and an exhaust port 31b is provided on the other surface. In addition, a partition plate 35 is arranged in a space between the fan unit 32 and the frame 33 . In addition, the container 30 is an example of a casing, and the fan unit 32 is an example of a blower.

[0036] Electronic equipment such as a server (computer) 33a, a memory, or a power supply is accommodated in each rack 33 . In addition, the fan unit 32 is provided with a plurality of fans 32a. Moreover, the air intake port 31a and the exhaust port 31b are provided with a flashing to prevent the intrusion of rainwater, and an in...

[0064] Figure 8 It is a schematic side view showing the modular data center according to the second embodiment. exist Figure 8 in, right with image 3 The same symbols are attached to the same components, and their detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0065] In this embodiment, in addition to information on the temperature and humidity of the air in the cold aisle 42, information on the power consumption of each server 33a in the rack 33 and the power consumption of each fan 32a of the fan unit 32 is also given to the control unit 50. information.

[0066] The control unit 50 calculates the calorific value of each server 33a and the rotation speed of each fan 32a based on the information on the power consumption of each server 33a and each fan 32a. Then, the control unit 50 determines the shielding plate unit 36 ​​based on the calculation result (refer to Figure 4 ) of the shielding plates 51, the shielding plate 51 in the open state and the shielding plate 51 in the c...

[0069] Figure 9 It is a schematic side view showing the modular data center according to the third embodiment. exist Figure 9 in, right with Figure 8 The same symbols are attached to the same components, and their detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0070] The wind speed distribution on the exhaust surface side of the rack 33 may be uneven due to the operating conditions of the fans 32a of the fan unit 32, servers 33a installed in the rack 33, obstacles in the container 30, and the like. In this case, it is preferable to further control the air volume and the circulation volume with reference to the wind speed distribution. Therefore, in this embodiment, a plurality of wind speed sensors 46 are arranged in the hot aisle 43, and the wind speed distribution of the warm air discharged from the rack 33 is measured. The plurality of wind speed sensors 46 is an example of a wind speed distribution detector.

[0071] The control unit 50 preferentially controls the shielding ...

Abstract

[Objective] To provide a module-type data center capable of precisely controlling the circulation amount of warm air. [Solving Means] A module-type data center includes: a casing 30 having an intake vent 31a and an exhaust vent 31b; a rack 33 accommodating an electronic device 33a; and an air blower 32 configured to introduce outside air into the casing 30 through the intake vent 31a and pass air through the rack 33 from one of surfaces of the rack 33 to another one of the surfaces of the rack 33. Moreover, a shielding-slat unit 36 is placed on the exhaust vent 31b side. The shielding-slat unit 36 includes shielding slats 51 configured to change between an open state and a closed state and drive devices configured to drive the corresponding shielding slats. An inner space of the casing 30 is divided into a first space 41, 42 defined between the rack 33 and the intake vent 31a, a second space 43 defined between the rack 33 and the exhaust vent 31b, and a third space 44 defined above the rack 33 and allowing the second space 43 to communicate with the first space 41, 42.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to modular data centers. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the advent of a highly information-based society, computers are used to process a large amount of data, and the need to uniformly manage data centers of many computers has become more and more important. [0003] A general data center has buildings constructed on a vast land, large-scale air-conditioning equipment, and large-scale electrical equipment. Therefore, it takes a long time to complete, and it is difficult to promptly respond to changes in demand. [0004] Therefore, a modular data center in which racks such as servers, air conditioners, and electrical equipment are housed in a structure of a predetermined size called a container has been developed and put into practical use. In a modular data center, outside air is taken in into the container, and the heat generated from the server is cooled by the outside air in many cases. Thereby,...
