Abstract
A data center in an environment has modules. Each module has a housing and an air mover. The housing contains processing devices that generate heat during operation. Each module has an air inlet on a first side of the housing and receives air from the environment. Each module also has an air outlet on a second side of the housing to exhaust air from the housing. At least three modules are spaced apart to form lateral spaces between adjacent modules. The modules form an interior region to receive the exhausted air of the modules. Each air mover generates a pressure differential between a top portion of the interior region and a bottom portion of the interior region using the exhausted air. The lateral spaces reduce the pressure differential between the top portion of the interior region and the bottom portion of the interior region.
