While many data centers have embraced newer cooling technologies that are inherently more efficient than the systems of the past, outdated control strategies aren’t enabling these systems to deliver precisely the right amount of air to equipment racks with the greatest efficiency.
Take Key Steps to Optimizing Data Center Cooling Performance with this New White Paper
September 13, 2020
A main operational challenge in the data center is optimizing cooling performance, which helps improve overall capacity utilization and reduces cooling costs and OpEx.
From leveraging prefabrication to increasing modular construction, there are many ways to complete facilities faster while improving cost and predictability.
A typical hyperscale construction project can have between 300 to 600 electricians on-site, which is a nightmare in regard to social distancing and other COVID-19 procedures.
Many times, when the actual capacity of the cooling system is not severely exceeded by the actual heat load of the equipment, optimizing the airflow may improve the situation until a new or additional cooling system is installed.
Before jumping into cost-effective raised floor suggestions, remember the goal of any airflow management initiative is to improve the intake air temperatures to IT equipment.
