US12707592 - Casualty-resistant enclosure for a micro data center

An enclosure for micro data center equipment includes an interior chamber, an exterior housing, an air intake pipe, and a void. The interior chamber houses heat-generating micro data center equipment. The exterior housing substantially surrounds the interior chamber and is fabricated from a material that is both casualty-resistant and resistant to hostile environments. The air intake pipe is coupled between an opening in the interior chamber and an opening in the exterior housing. The air intake pipe receives outdoor air from a location external to the exterior housing at the opening in the exterior housing and delivers the outdoor air to the interior chamber at the opening in the interior chamber; the outdoor air delivered to the interior chamber serves to cool the heat-generating micro data center equipment. The void is intermediate the interior chamber and the exterior housing and receives a weight-enhancing material.
