Container data center

Abstract

A container data center includes a container, a cooling system, and a number of heat dissipation units. The cooling system is positioned on a top of the container. The heat dissipation units are arranged on opposite sidewalls of the container respectively. Each heat dissipation unit includes an air duct attached to the sidewall and a guiding piece. The guiding piece is slantingly spaced from the sidewall. The hot air from the container flows into the air duct. The airflow around the container is guided to the air duct, to cool the air duct. The hot air in the air duct is cooled and then flows to the cooling system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container data center, comprising:
 a container comprising a top wall, and two sidewalls respectively extending down from two opposite sides of the top wall;   a cooling system positioned on the top wall of the container; and   two heat dissipation units respectively arranged on outer surfaces of the sidewalls of the container, wherein each heat dissipation unit comprises an air duct attached to the sidewall and a guiding piece, the guiding piece is spaced from the sidewall, the air duct is connected between an inside of the container and the cooling system;   wherein hot air from the container flows into the air duct, airflow around the container is guided to the air duct by the guiding piece, to cool the air duct, the hot air in the air duct is cooled and then flows to the cooling system to be further cooled.   
     
     
         2 . The container data center of  claim 1 , wherein the air duct comprises a plurality of U-shaped main bodies juxtapositionally attached to the outer surface of the corresponding sidewall, a plurality of first connection ends perpendicularly extending from first ends of the main bodies adjacent to the rear end of the container, a plurality of second connection ends extending perpendicularly from second ends of the main bodies adjacent to the front end of the container, and a connecting duct connecting the second ends to the cooling system, each first end is connected to the inside of the container. 
     
     
         3 . The container data center of  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of each guiding piece gradually increases from a rear end of the container toward a front end of the container. 
     
     
         4 . The container data center of  claim 1 , wherein each guiding piece is mounted to the sidewall through a pair of first poles connected between a front end of the guiding piece and the sidewall, and a pair of second poles shorter than the first poles and connected between a rear end of the guiding piece and the sidewall.
