Data Center Cooling

Journal

Power requirements for new servers are 10 times that of watercooled mainframes with the same size footprint, and they require 30 times the airflow. Legacy cooling designs were intended to deliver cooling to computer equipment along the length and width of a data center. Now designers face an added dimension - height. Air-cooled mainframes and racks of servers produce the same amount of heat as a 7 ft (2 m) tower of toaster ovens. These critical servers will shut down in moments without adequate cooling. They demand efficient, redundant and predictable cooling distribution designs.

Data Centers: Liquid-Cooling Trends in Data Centers

Journal

Significant growth in heat loads and heat density per rack has challenged the ability of air to provide adequate, reliable, and economic data center cooling. The use of liquid cooling is growing and ASHRAE TC 9.9 developed the ASHRAE Datacom Series book Liquid Cooling Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers , as well as several white papers.

Emerging Technologies: Data Center Cooling

Journal

Efficient data center cooling may be on many organizations' radar, but the market is clearly far from saturated for several well-established energy-saving technologies, in particular economizers and VFDs.

New Guideline for Data Center Cooling

Journal

The nature of electronics cooling for data centers is changing. For example, ultra-compact blade servers take up less space than traditional rack-mounted servers but greatly increase heat density. ASHRAE is moving to bring together manufacturers, the design community and facility owners to find common solutions and standard practices that facilitate interchangeability while preserving industry innovation. The initial focus of ASHRAE's new Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment, has been on thermal issues relating to information technology (IT) equipment, especially in mission critical data center environments. The result of the committee's work is ASHRAE's publication Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments.1 This article introduces a few of the central concepts of this guideline, and shows some of the ramifications of the guideline as they relate to facility design.
