For the past three years, the supply chain has been a rollercoaster for the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries — facing challenges, such as manufacturing disruptions, labor shortages, logistical issues, demand fluctuations, supply chain complexity, and regulatory hurdles.
"The design of the chilled water cooling system within a data center is a critical part of its infrastructure," says author Patrick Cotton, Global Chiller Product Manager at Airedale.
The data center industry has experienced massive growth in demand due to artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, 5G and edge applications, leading to a supply-demand imbalance in some markets.
The system provides real time alerts to building and operations managers, enabling corrective action before mold growth, significantly improving living conditions in military barracks and housing.
With a layered security approach built on a unified platform, teams can better ensure the security of their assets, make more informed decisions, and provide the uninterrupted services that customers demand.
Reduced exposure to hazards and risks, optimal maintenance of equipment, and boosted efficiency all support a streamlined build, thereby improving project outcomes and speeding time-to-completion for data centers and other complex facilities.
This paper explores the evolution of data center cooling technology to address the anticipated demand for increased rack density for IT equipment in the white space.
