A data center cooling system includes an air handler, a blower coupled to the air handler, and a thermal-polarization pipe coupled to the blower. The blower is configured to supply air through the thermal-polarization pipe. The system also includes at least one pressure box coupled to the thermal-polarization pipe, where the at least one pressure box is configured to house electronics. The thermal-polarization pipe includes an inner tube, an outer tube surrounding the inner tube and forming an annular cavity between the inner and outer tubes, and a thermal-polarization membrane carried by an outer surface of the inner tube.
