Abstract

A data center includes a bank of computers, a plenum in fluid communication with the bank of computers, and a chimney in fluid communication with the plenum. The chimney is configured to use heat from the bank of computers to sufficiently lower an air pressure in the plenum to cause an air flow across the bank of computers sufficient to cool the bank of computers for normal operation.
