KEN'S KORNER - Airflow Problems
Tips for Assessing and Addressing Airflow Problems Tips for retrofitting a legacy data center with airflow management techniques designed to reduce cooling energy costs and increase equipment density capacity. Types of airflow problems • Hot spots – an area, related to a rack or set of racks, where ambient air temperature is above acceptable levels. Typically caused by poor airflow... -
U.S. DOE and Airflow Management
Even the Government Agrees! U.S. Department of Energy suggests you first address the simple solutions to airflow problems in legacy data centers A recent study by the U.S. Department of Energy on Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory suggests that as data center energy densities increase, measured in power-use per square foot, energy savings for...
