Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a mobile data centre unit, which is adapted to house at least one rackbeing designed to provide storage space for electronic equipment. The mobile data centre unit is equipped with passive cooling means in order to provide dissipation of heat being generated by the electronic equipment.
Claims16
Mobile data centre unit comprising:
- (i) at least one container,
- (ii) the at least one container comprising at least one rack for housing electronic equipment,
- (iii) the at least one rack comprising at least one heat exchanging means being adapted to transfer heat contained in an internal airflow, where the internal airflow has been heated up by the electronic equipment to be contained inside the rack to a fluid coolant, said heat exchanging means being located at at least one wall or element of the at least one rack,
- (iv) at least one coolant conduit which is adapted to supply the heat exchanging means of the at least one rack with a fluid coolant and is further adapted to convey the heated coolant away through a reflux section of the coolant conduit,
- (v) connecting means for connecting the at least one coolant conduit to at least one external heat exchanging device,
- characterised in that
- (vi) said at least one rack is designed and arranged in a way that the internal airflow within the rack is predominantly effectuated by passive airflow generating means and/or by active airflow generating means of at least a part of the electronic equipment to be contained in the rack.
