Cooling Solutions
Minimize heat-related IT outages to keep your business running and deliver efficiencies that optimize your energy budget.
The Need for Cooling Solutions
Every piece of IT equipment that consumes power produces an equivalent amount of heat. The wrong technology for your environment can result in higher costs and increased risk of downtime. Cooling solutions collect and transport this unwanted heat energy to the outside atmosphere. They are designed to be efficient, flexible and reliable while helping to tackle growing demands as more IT equipment is added to existing sites.
Best Practises for Implementing Cooling Solutions
The efficiency of cooling solutions is all about where the cooling units are placed and, for the predominant air cooling systems, how the air is distributed. Below are some best practices for these systems, based on ASHRAE recommendations
When deciding on the airflow architecture, consider all the options — overhead, in-floor, in-row, and hybrid solutions.
Use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze the configurations and make sure the one you choose will optimize the airflow in your data center.
Make sure the cooling method you choose will provide good separation between the air supply and return paths. This can be accomplished through the use of a design strategy such as hot and cold aisles.
Opt for energy efficient fans, fan motors, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to optimize the overall efficiency of your cooling solution.
Don’t over-cool. Instead, be more energy efficient by opting for the highest feasible supply air temperature as recommended by ASHRAE.
Think ahead and choose a solution that is modular or scalable. That way your cooling infrastructure will be able to support higher server density and increased loads due to growth.
