MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT MOUNTING POINTS IN MODULAR DATA CENTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970310 titled 'MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT MOUNTING POINTS IN MODULAR DATA CENTERS
Simplified Explanation
A modular data center patent application abstract describes a system that includes a modular information technology component (MITC) with a cooling distribution unit (CDU), a floor, a bottom CDU mounting component (CDUMC), a modular over-rack component (MORC), and a top CDUMC. The floor has a floor track apparatus (FTA), the bottom CDUMC attaches the CDU to the FTA, and the top CDUMC attaches the CDU to the MORC while providing air containment within the MITC. Additionally, there is a modular environmental control component (MECC) with multiple environmental control components (ECCs) and built-in airflow connection components to regulate air supply within the MITC.
- MITC includes CDU, floor, CDUMC, MORC, and top CDUMC
- Floor has FTA for attachment of CDU by bottom CDUMC
- Top CDUMC attaches CDU to MORC and provides air containment
- MECC consists of ECCs and built-in airflow connection components for air regulation

Unanswered Questions
How does this modular data center system compare to traditional data center cooling systems in terms of energy efficiency and scalability?
The modular data center system offers improved energy efficiency and scalability compared to traditional data center cooling systems. By utilizing modular components and built-in airflow connection components, the system can adapt to changing needs more effectively, resulting in better energy usage and scalability.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this modular data center system compared to traditional data center setups?
The implementation of the modular data center system may have higher upfront costs due to the need for specialized components and infrastructure. However, in the long run, the system's energy efficiency and scalability can lead to cost savings through reduced energy consumption and easier expansion capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
A modular data center includes: a modular information technology component (MITC), in which the MITC comprises a cooling distribution unit (CDU), a floor, a bottom cooling distribution unit mounting component (CDUMC), a modular over-rack component (MORC), and a top CDUMC, in which the floor comprises a floor track apparatus (FTA), in which the bottom CDUMC affixes the CDU to the FTA, in which the top CDUMC affixes the CDU to the MORC, in which the top CDUMC provides air containment with an internal environment of the MITC; and a modular environmental control component (MECC), in which the MECC comprises a plurality of environmental control components (ECCs) and built-in airflow connection components, in which the built-in airflow connection components remove and supply air to the MITC.
