    摘要: This disclosure describes systems for arranging racks within a data center for a smaller and/or more flexible footprint, more efficient and/or resilient cooling, and/or easier installation. In some examples, this disclosure describes a data center rack system that includes an aisle and a plurality of rack stations adjacent to the aisle. The aisle includes an aisle guidance track defining an aisle axis. Each rack station of the plurality of rack stations includes a station guidance track defining a station axis. The station guidance track is configured to receive a rack from the aisle guidance track and position the rack in the respective rack station at a rack angle formed between the aisle axis and the station axis that is less than 90 degrees.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a driver and both a pump and a compressor mechanically coupled to the driver. The driver includes a first driver chamber and a second driver chamber separated by a moveable driver barrier coupled to a mechanical link. The driver is configured to alternately expand and contract the first and second driver chambers in response to an alternating pressure differential of a gaseous first coolant between a first pressure and a second pressure of the first and second driver chambers and produce a mechanical force from the alternating pressure differential. The pump is configured to pump a liquid first coolant in response to the mechanical force from the driver. The compressor is configured to compress a second coolant in response to the mechanical force from the driver.

    摘要: In some examples, a system includes a data center storage space, a partition, and a cooling device. The data center storage space includes a hot aisle and a cold aisle. The partition separates the hot aisle and the cold aisle and defines an aperture. The cooling device includes a connection member and a flexible member. The connection member is configured to connect to the aperture and defines a first lumen. The flexible member is connected to the connection member and defines a second lumen. At least a portion of the flexible member is configured to be selectively movable. The cooling device is configured to allow cool air to move from the cold aisle to the hot aisle to lower a temperature of air disposed within the hot aisle.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a pump and a driver mechanically coupled to the pump. The driver is configured to receive gaseous refrigerant at a first pressure, discharge gaseous refrigerant at a second pressure, and produce a mechanical force from a pressure differential between the first pressure and the second pressure. The pump is configured to receive liquid refrigerant at a third pressure, discharge liquid refrigerant at a fourth pressure, and pump liquid refrigerant from the third pressure to the fourth pressure in response to the mechanical force from the driver.
