1. A modular system for cooling Information Technology (IT), the system comprising:
a first section comprising four dry coolers configured to provide a cooled fluid to a second section and a third section via a primary liquid cooling loop, wherein the dry coolers are configured to remove heat to an outside environment of a facility in which an IT unit is located;
the second section comprising four cooling distribution units (CDUs), wherein the four CDUs are configured to receive cooling by exchanging heat with at least some of the cooled fluid within the primary liquid cooling loop, and transfer the cooling to the IT unit to provide direct liquid cooling via a secondary liquid cooling loop, wherein the secondary liquid cooling loop is connected to the IT unit and the four CDUs;
the third section comprising a liquid heat exchange device, wherein the liquid heat exchange device is configured to exchange heat between at least some of the cooled fluid and an air of the facility, wherein:
the air is usable to cool the IT unit,
the air is flowed to and from the IT unit by one or more fans, and
a temperature of the air is monitored by one or more temperature sensors disposed in the facility;
four CDU pumps disposed on the secondary liquid cooling loop to control a flow in the secondary liquid cooling loop; and
a flow control valve disposed on the primary liquid cooling loop configured, along with the four CDU pumps, to engineer a pressure and a flow of cooling fluid in the primary liquid cooling loop to establish desired air and liquid cooling, wherein the temperature monitored by the one or more temperature sensors is used to determine control of the cooled fluid in the primary liquid cooling loop.
