    Abstract: Data center mechanical infrastructure is incrementally deployed and commissioned to support incremental changes in computing capacity in a data center while mitigating interaction between infrastructure being commissioned and installed computer systems. Incremental mechanical infrastructure commissioning can be concurrent with incremental electrical infrastructure commissioning and includes operating mechanical infrastructure to remove heat generated as a result of operating electrical infrastructure to support simulated electrical loads as part of electrical infrastructure commissioning. Incremental mechanical infrastructure deployment can be based on the power support capacity provided by incrementally deployed electrical infrastructure. Incremental infrastructure deployment can include partitioning a space in which incremental mechanical infrastructure is configured to provide cooling, so that heat generation and removal in the space, based on commissioning the incremental mechanical infrastructure, is isolated electrical and cooling support provided to electrical loads located in a remainder of the data center.

    Abstract: A passive cooling system routes air from an enclosure to an ambient environment, via a chimney effect, through one or more indirect pathways and re-directs environmental elements received from the ambient environment. One or more vanes are arranged within an interior space, such that the vanes collectively form one or more indirect pathways to the ambient environment. The vanes preclude environmental elements, including precipitation and particulate matter, from passing through the interior space and into the enclosure. Environmental elements are re-directed by one or more of the vanes, at least in part, to an exterior of the passive exhaust system. Dampers may be adjusted to control airflow through the passive cooling system and restrict environmental elements from entering the passive cooling system. Liquids received from the ambient environment may be re-directed into a reclamation system for use in a cooling system.

    Abstract: A preheat damper preheats ambient air being directed to an air handling unit of a data center to mitigate ice accumulation caused by the ambient air. The ambient air can be preheated upstream of a mist eliminator, which removes moisture from the ambient air upstream of the air handling unit, to mitigate ice accumulation in the mist eliminator. The preheat damper directs exhaust air from an exhaust air plenum. The preheat damper can be adjusted based on the ambient temperature, and can be upstream of a return damper which directs exhaust air from the exhaust air plenum based on characteristics of the cooling air supplied to cool data center equipment. The return damper can be adjusted in counter-opposition with one or more intake dampers to maintain cooling air characteristics, and concurrently with the preheat damper to direct ambient air to the air handling unit through the exhaust air plenum.

    Abstract: A data center row infrastructure module enables rapid deployment of a computing room enclosure for computer systems that provides intake air circulation to, and exhaust air removal from, the computer systems in the enclosure. The data center row infrastructure module includes free-standing exhaust plenum structures encompassing opposite sides of the enclosure and a plenum module spanning a top end of the enclosure between the free-standing exhaust plenum structures. Each free-standing exhaust plenum structure includes an internal exhaust air plenum that directs exhaust air received from the enclosure through an exhaust air outlet on a top end of the free-standing exhaust plenum structure. The plenum module establishes a bottom end of a cooling air plenum above and separate from the enclosure and between the free-standing exhaust plenum structures. Some plenum modules can direct cooling air directly to the enclosure as intake air. Some plenum modules can mix cooling air with recirculated exhaust to provide the intake air.

    Abstract: Air conditioning systems and techniques are described that include passing a fluid through a slab. The fluid is cooled in the slab and the cooled fluid is circulated to a coil. The coil is arranged in an airflow such that ambient air passes over the coil, thereby reducing the relative humidity of the ambient air. A control unit may also be provided to selectively operate a pump to control the flow of the fluid through the slab.
