Abstract
The present invention provides a container-type data center having an air conditioning facility, which enables to effectively cool IT equipment by applying the arrangement to an existing container. A system ceiling 50 is attached to a ceiling surface 25 to send out cooling air to a cooling area 2 from a vent 31a of an indoor unit 31 of an air conditioning device disposed in a container 1, and a draft air duct is defined by the system ceiling 50, a down-wall 51 and the ceiling surface 25. A vinyl curtain 60 is provided on an upper portion of a rack 40 so as to prevent cooling air having reached the cooling area 2 from flowing out to a heat exhaust area 3 without passing through the rack 40 loading the IT equipment, and a vinyl curtain 70 in a form of a shop curtain is disposed at an area used as a path for operators entering the cooling area 2. According to this arrangement, all the cooling air sent to the cooling area 2 is discharged through racks 40 lading IT equipments to the heat exhaust area 3, enhancing the effect of cooling the IT equipment loaded in the racks 40.
