Liquefied natural gas vehicle assisted data center cooling apparatus

Abstract

The invention comprises a coupled data center cooling/liquid natural gas (LNG) regasification heating apparatus, such as an apparatus configured to cool a data center, comprising: a heat transfer fluid pipe configured to hold a heat transfer fluid, the heat transfer fluid configured to transfer a heat from the data center to a liquefied natural gas; and a phase change container, such as positioned on a fuel transport vehicle, configured to hold a portion of the liquefied natural gas during a phase change of the liquefied natural gas to a gas phase natural gas, the phase change container further comprising a heat exchanger configured to transfer from the heat transfer fluid at least thirty percent of an enthalpy of vaporization energy used in a phase change of the liquefied natural gas into a gas phase natural gas.
