Patent ID: 8812170

Claim:
A container data center comprising: a container; a first cooling device defining a first outlet to expel hot air from the container in a first direction; a second cooling device defining a second outlet to expel the hot air from the container in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and a cooling control system comprising: a temperature sensor to sense a temperature in the container; an anemometer to sense a speed and a direction of wind flowing across the container; and a main controller connected to the temperature sensor, the anemometer, the first cooling device, and the second cooling device, the main controller comprising: a storage module to store a predetermined temperature, a predetermined speed, and a predetermined time range; a reading module to read the temperature of the container from the temperature sensor and read a time in the container; a determination module to determine whether the read temperature is greater than the predetermined temperature, wherein if the read temperature is greater than the predetermined temperature, the determination module determines whether the read time is in the predetermined time range, if the read time is in the predetermined time range, the determination module outputs a first control signal, if the read time is not in the predetermined time range, the determination module outputs a second control signal; and a control module to turn on the first cooling device and turn off the second cooling device after receiving the first control signal, and turn off the first cooling device and turn on the second cooling device after receiving the second control signal; wherein the read module is further used to read the speed and the direction of the wind sensed by the anemometer, the determination module is further used to determine whether the direction of the wind read by the read module is the same as a direction of the hot air expelled by the turned on cooling device, if the direction of the wind read by the read module is different from the direction of the hot air expelled by the turned on cooling device, the determination module determines whether the speed of the wind read by the read module is lower that the predetermined speed, if the speed of the wind read by the read module is greater than or equal to the predetermined speed, the determination module outputs the first or second control signal to the control module to turn off the turned on cooling device, and turn on the turned off cooling device.
