Zusammenfassung:	A ram air system for cooling information handling systems (IHSs) in a mobile data center includes a volumetric container having a first aft-facing wall, the container designed for placement on a trailer capable of being moved in at least an aft-facing direction. At least one heat generating information technology (IT) equipment is positioned within the enclosure. The container is configured with an air intake opening placed in the aft-facing wall providing an intake path for exterior air to ingress into the container at a high velocity to provide a flow of cooling air that cools the at least one heat generating IT equipment while the trailer is moving in the forward/aft direction. An air intake damper is positioned within the air intake opening and is capable of being selectively positioned in one of a plurality of air intake positions, ranging from a fully open position to a fully closed position.
