Modular Containerized Data Center Cooling System With Hybrid Passive Geothermal-Vortex Exhaust Engine

An example system for cooling a data center includes a container enclosure for housing server racks. An air intake collects ambient air. The system includes a cooling ladder base, a cooling ladder wing, and a mixing chamber. A first conduit connects the air intake with the cooling ladder wing. A second conduit connects the cooling ladder wing with the cooling ladder base. An intake tunnel connects the cooling ladder base to the mixing chamber. Underground cooling ladders carry the ambient air downward into the earth through cooling ladder rungs in the cooling ladder wing such that the ambient air becomes geothermally cooled air. The geothermally cooled air is provided through the at least one intake tunnel to the mixing chamber for release into the container enclosure for the data center.

Modular multi-story production plant and methods for constructing same

다층 모듈형 생산 플랜트(10)는 생산 설비를 지지하기 위한 생산 모듈(12-1 내지 12-5)의 수직 스택(12), 및 생산 모듈에 대한 조작자 접근이 가능하도록 수직 적층된 생산 모듈에 인접하여 연결되는 조작자 접근 모듈(14-1 내지 14-5)의 수직 스택(14)을 구비한다. 인접 연결된 생산 모듈(12) 및 조작자 접근 모듈(14)의 수직 스택은 따라서 모듈형 생산 플랜트의 다층을 구축한다. 조작자가 플랜트의 각 층 사이를 승강 가능하도록 계단(30) 및/또는 엘리베이터(40)가 조작자 접근 모듈의 수직 스택에 제공될 수 있다. 특히 바람직한 실시예에서, 각각의 생산 모듈(12)과 조작자 접근 모듈(14)은 표준 수송 컨테이너 내에 수용되도록 크기를 갖는 직육면체 형태이다. 따라서 모듈 유닛의 이러한 구조는 플랜트가 보다 신속하게 수송되어 현장에서 건축되게 할 수 있다. The multi-layer modular production plant 10 is adjacent to a vertical stack 12 of production modules 12-1 to 12-5 for supporting production equipment, and vertically stacked production modules to allow operator access to the production modules. And a vertical stack 14 of operator access modules 14-1 to 14-5 connected thereto. The vertical stack of adjacently connected production module 12 and operator access module 14 thus builds up the multilayer of the modular production plant. Stairs 30 and / or elevators 40 may be provided in a vertical stack of operator access modules so that the operator can move up and down between each floor of the plant. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each production module 12 and operator access module 14 are in the form of a cuboid that is sized to be contained within a standard transport container. This structure of the modular unit thus allows the plant to be transported more quickly and built on site.

Square pipe type assembling structural member

The present invention relates to a structural material which is used to construct a building such as a factory and a warehouse which have long spans and which are required to be constructed in a short period of time and, more specifically, to a prefabricated square pipe structural material which is easily bonded to other structural materials, which has strong rigidity on a bonded part, which has enough rigidity against forces from all directions, and which exterior finish materials are directly attached to. The prefabricated square pipe structural material is a steel frame material which is used as a material for a column or a beam; which has a pair of unit assemblies mutually faced and combined to form a hollow square pipe shape. The unit assembly is composed of horizontal and vertical parts formed by being vertically bent from both end parts in the width direction of the horizontal part, wherein the vertical part includes a stepped part which is stepped toward the inside and formed by the end part bent twice toward a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The pair of unit assemblies is combined by using a bolt to bond the overlapped stepped parts of the pair of unit assemblies, thereby preventing the bolt head from protruding to the outside of the outermost surface of the vertical part; and has at least one work hole formed on at least one horizontal part.
