Data center cooling refers to the collective equipment, systems, and processes that regulate the facility's temperature, humidity, and airflow. Cooling systems dissipate the heat generated by servers, storage systems, networking hardware, and other equipment within a data center. The primary purpose ...
Another way to achieve an energy-efficient data center is to reevaluate the optimal data center temperature. In the past, data centers always had to be kept cool in order for computing hardware to function correctly. More recently, equipment vendors have been designing systems that can operate a...
Data center (DC)Entropy generationExergy destructionOptimal designThermal managementThis study adopts the computational fluid dynamics softwareANSYS FLUENT to predict the airflow and temperature distribution in a next-generation overhead downward flow (ODF)-type data center (DC). The study's primary ...
Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Technical Committee. These classes (A1 through A4) are part of a set of guidelines that ASHRAE has developed to determine the optimal temperature and humidity levels for data center hardware. A1 has the narrowest allowable temperature range. ...
The system, which has been patented by Nortek, uses a liquid-to-air energy exchanger, in which water is cooled as it evaporates through a membrane separation layer. This cold water is then used to cool the air inside the data center and keep the servers at optimal temperatures. The membran...

This paper presents a method for minimizing the power consumption of a data-center cooling system by optimizing the airflow pattern and the supplied cold air temperature simultaneously. To discover the potential benefits of reorganizing the rack flow rates, a gray-box fast-temperature evaluation model...
a new control algorithm is needed to achieve overall optimal performance. That’s where big data and AI come in. AI can be used to determine the relationships between the PUE and the data of different features and then predict a PUE value. With the PUE value, the data center can make op...
