Abstract
A container data center includes a container, a number of server systems, and a number of fan apparatuses. Each fan apparatus includes a number of guides to guide airflow of the cooling airflow, a guide driver to drive the guides, and a micro control unit (MCU) to control the guide driver. Each server system includes a temperature sensor to determine temperature of the server system. The MCU of each fan apparatus is connected to two temperature sensors of two server systems nearest to the fan apparatus but not in the same row. The MCU receives two temperature signals from two corresponding temperature sensors and directs the guide driver to rotate the guides towards the server system with higher temperature.
Claims6
A container data center comprising:
- a movable container;
- and
- a first row of server systems and a second row of server systems installed in the container in two parallel rows, wherein each of the first row of server systems and the second row of server systems comprises a plurality of server systems and a plurality of fan apparatuses to provide cooling airflow to the other row of the first and second rows of server systems;
- wherein each of the plurality of fan apparatuses comprises a plurality of guides rotatably mounted thereon to guide airflow of the cooling airflow, a guide driver to drive the plurality of guides, and a micro control unit (MCU) to control the guide driver;
- wherein each of the plurality of server systems comprises a temperature sensor to determine temperature of the server system, wherein the MCU of each of the plurality of fan apparatuses is connected to two temperature sensors of two of the plurality of server systems nearest to the fan apparatus but not in the same row, the MCU of each of the plurality of fan apparatuses receives two temperature signals from two corresponding temperature sensors and directs the guide driver to rotate the plurality of guides towards the server system with highest temperature.
A heat dissipation system for a server system assembly comprising a first row of server systems and a second row of server systems in two parallel rows, each of the first row of server systems and the second row of server systems comprising a plurality of server systems, the heat dissipation system comprising:
- a plurality of fan apparatuses arranged in each of the first row of server systems and the second row of server systems, to provide cooling airflow to the opposite row of the first and second row of server systems;
- wherein each of the plurality of fan apparatuses comprises a plurality of guides rotatably mounted thereon to guide airflow of the cooling airflow, a guide driver to drive the plurality of guides, and a micro control unit (MCU) to control the guide driver;
- and
- a plurality of temperature sensors arranged in the plurality of server systems to determine temperature of the corresponding server systems, wherein the MCU of each of the plurality of fan apparatuses is connected to two temperature sensors of two of the plurality of server systems nearest to the fan apparatus but not in the same row, the MCU of each of the plurality of fan apparatuses receives two temperature signals from two corresponding temperature sensors and controls the guide driver to drive the plurality of guides to rotate towards the one of the two of the plurality of server systems whose temperature is larger than the other one of the two of the plurality of server systems in response to one of the two temperature signals being larger than the other one of the two temperature signals.
