Indirect evaporative data centre cooling testing - an expert insight
To increase market competitiveness a growing number of data centre operators are opting for indirect evaporative cooling (IEC) and the significant savings the solution brings. To ensure the operational efficiency and a smarter energy approach, it makes good business sense to witness an IEC solution go through its paces over a range of climate conditions in a purpose built data centre test facility prior to site deployment. By Munters.
TODAY’S DATA CENTRE cooling test facilities are built like actual working data centres, with monitoring and modelling tools to test the systems over a range of environmental conditions so data centre customers can try out various practical scenarios.
A purpose built data centre cooling test facility (DCTF) shows data centre managers what they need to create a secure energy efficient data centre and how to optimize power consumption with IEC technology. The leading DC cooling test facilities verify IEC performance in extreme temperature and humidity conditions, and provide thermodynamic and electrical performance verification in simulated diverse data centre climate conditions worldwide.
Witnessing cooling equipment performance prior to installation can demonstrate to operators how air flows can be fully separated to eliminate the risk of contamination and dust in the data centre.
The monitoring and energy modelling of IEC solutions in a DC Test Facility shows how very low partial PUEs of upto 1.05 can be achieved.
Data centre managers can view indirect evaporative air conditioning systems cooling racks of IT gear, and model their various situations before deploying equipment to their own site.
Measurement of energy and airflow over a broad range of inlet temperatures provides proof of climate supply integrity and low energy performance for operator’s data hall conditions. As companies expand and wish to optimize their operations, choosing the best IEC solution backed by witnessing first-hand the capabilities of IEC cooling systems means predictable, reliable and safe supply for operators customers.
