Balanced chilled fluid cooling system for a data center in a shipping container

A movable data center comprising:

• a movable enclosure having partitions that define a closed loop air flow path;
• a plurality of fans disposed in the air flow path for directing air through the air flow path;
• a plurality of data processing modules operatively installed in the enclosure in the air flow path;
• a pipe network disposed within the enclosure, the pipe network including a chilled water supply pipe that receives chilled water from a source of chilled water and a water return pipe that circulates the water back to the source of chilled water;
• a plurality of heat exchange modules installed in the enclosure in the air flow path, the heat exchange modules receiving the chilled water from the chilled water supply pipe;
• wherein each of the heat exchange modules has a water circulation tube that connects the chilled water supply pipe to the water return pipe and a plurality of fins secured to the water circulation tube that facilitate the transfer of heat from the air flow path to water in the water return pipe;
• and
• a plurality of supply branches and a plurality of return branches that are disposed at a height that is below the data processing modules, wherein the supply branches are connected to at least one inlet of at least one of the heat exchange modules by supply fluid conduits, and wherein the return branches are connected to at least one outlet of at least one of the heat exchange modules by return fluid conduits.

A movable data system comprising:

• a movable container having a substantially accessible aisle;
• a plurality of data processing modules operatively disposed in the container;
• a plurality of fans operatively disposed in the container that direct air flow in a defined air flow path;
• a fluid supply pipe disposed in the container that receives fluid from a fluid source;
• a fluid return pipe disposed in the container that circulates the fluid back to the fluid source;
• a heat exchange module operatively disposed in the container that receives the fluid from the supply pipe, the module having a tube that connects the supply pipe with the return pipe and a plurality of fins secured to the tube that facilitates the transfer of heat from the air flow in the container to the fluid in the tube wherein the air flow in the container flows in a serial fashion through the plurality of data processing modules, the plurality of fans and the heat exchange module.
