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.

Data Centers: Roadmap for Datacom Cooling

Journal

Information systems (e.g., Internet, search engines, archival systems) are all integral parts of the datacom (data processing and communication) industry. As a result, the cooling of datacom facilities has the same potential for overload, change, evolution, and premature obsolescence.
