A Look at Data Center Cooling Technologies

• Data Center Cooling is necessary to keep servers
  and other electronic devices in good working
  condition. If you have ever been working at your
  personal computer and heard the fan come on,
  then you have a reference point for this concept.
  Devices that use electricity produce a waste
  product of heat. When there are many electronic
  products in one place, such as a data center,
  then the amount of heat given off by such
  devices can add up quickly. High heat levels can
  be destructive for servers and other electronic
  devices, causing corrosion and potentially making
  information inaccessible. To keep your data
  safe, your center needs a cooling system.
• Data Center Cooling Systems
• Maximize efficiency by preventing hot air
  contamination
• Utilize cooling redundancy for stability and
  performance
• Enable high performance compute power densities

Here Is The Essential Checklist For a Data Center
Cooling System Audit

• CRAC Limit Check Make beyond any doubt that the
  current/arranged power stack for your server
  room is inside the endurable limit of the cooling
  system. Keep in mind that 1 Watt of IT control
  needs 1 Watt of cooling. Larger than average
  cooling frameworks may prompt unwanted vitality
  utilization. Discover the cooling framework limit
  in the model terminology on or inside each CRAC
  unit.
• CRAC Unit Position Computer Room Air
  Conditioning (CRAC) Units are set opposite to
  the path on either a hot or frosty passageway in
  light of the

• engineering of air circulation, and they are set
  toward the finish of hot walkways if raised
  floor is utilized for air conveyance.
• Airflow Between Racks Gaps, unused rack spaces,
  unlocked link openings, and overabundance
  cabling hurt the cooling. Seal the holes and
  openings legitimately.
• Test Cooling Circuits, Condenser Circuit, And
  Refrigerant Piping Ensure that chillers,
  condenser circuits, primary cooling loops,
  refrigerant piping, pumping systems, and
  evaporator coils are in proper condition. Check
  if all valves are working fine and that DX
  systems (if used) are fully charged.
• Data Center Cooling infrastructure audits not
  only provide positive impact in terms of
  efficiency, but they also provide insight into
  the present state and help plan for alternative
  technologies and approaches.
• It is important to understand that comfort
  cooling is not the primary purpose of data
  center cooling systems, even though the data
  center must be safe for the people who work in
  them.
