Abstract: A system for removing heat from electrical systems includes a dehumidification device including a desiccant, an evaporative cooling device, and air moving devices, and an air flow control devices. The air moving device moves air through the dehumidification device, the evaporative cooling device, and the electrical systems. The air flow control device controls a rate of flow of through the dehumidification device

Abstract: A modular computing system for a data center includes one or more data center modules including rack computer systems. An electrical module is coupled to the data center modules and provides electrical power to computer systems in the data center modules. The data center modules do not include any internal active cooling systems and cannot be coupled with any external active cooling systems. A data center module directs ambient air to flow into intake air plenums extending along intake sides of the rows of racks, through the rows of racks into exhaust plenums extending along exhaust sides of the rows of racks, and out into the ambient environment to cool computer systems in the racks. Directed airflow can be lateral, vertical, at least partially driven by air buoyancy gradients, at least partially induced by air moving devices internal to computer systems in the rows of racks, thereof, etc.

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 translation: 被动冷却系统通过烟囱效应将空气从外壳引导到周围环境，通过一个或多个间接通路，并重新引导从环境环境接收的环境元素。 一个或多个叶片布置在内部空间内，使得叶片共同形成到周围环境的一个或多个间接通路。 叶片排除环境因素（包括沉淀物和颗粒物）通过内部空间并进入外壳。 环境元件至少部分地由一个或多个叶片重新定向到被动排气系统的外部。 可以调节阻尼器以控制通过被动冷却系统的气流，并限制环境因素进入被动冷却系统。 从周围环境接收的液体可以被重新引导到用于冷却系统的回收系统中。
