At this time, the second windshield 263 covers the vent 262 of the partition 26 to prevent hot air in the hot air passage 28 from flowing into the cold air passage 27, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. If the temperature value sensed by the temperature sensor 55 is lower than the set temperature value, the controller 56 controls the first motor 51 and the third motor 53 to move the first wind deflector 222 and the third wind deflector 232 toward Rotating adjacent the first side wall and the second side wall to reduce the opening of the air inlet 221 and the air outlet 231, and the controller 56 controls the second motor 52 to rotate the second air deflector 263 away from the partition 26 The vent 262 is opened to return the hot air in the hot air passage 28 to the cold air passage 27, so that the temperature of the cold air in the cold air passage 27 is reduced to a proper range, which is better as the cabinet type server 30.

Referring to FIG. 5, the second embodiment of the container data center is similar to the first embodiment, except that each first windshield 222 is provided with a first motor 51, and each second windshield 263 is provided with a first The second motor 52 is provided with a third motor 53 for each of the third windshields 232. A temperature sensor 55 is disposed on the rear side of the cabinet servos 30. Each of the temperature sensors 55 corresponds to a first motor 51, a second motor 52, and a third motor 53, and the first motor 51, the second motor 52, the third motor 53, and the temperature sensor 55 are electrically connected. At controller 56. The controller 56 controls the rotations of the corresponding first motor 51, the second motor 52, and the third motor 53 according to the temperature of the cold air entering the corresponding rack server 30 sensed by the temperature sensor 55, thereby respectively turning on or The corresponding air inlet 221, the air vent 262, and the air outlet 231 are closed, or the size of the opening of the air inlet 221, the air vent 262, and the air outlet 231 is adjusted.
