Ten Cooling Solutions to Support High-Density


Executive summary


As power densities continue to increase in today’s data centres, heat removal is becoming a greater concern for the IT professional. Unfortunately, air conditioning terminology routinely used in the cooling industry is unnecessarily complicated. This complexity makes it difficult and frustrating for IT professionals to specify cooling requirements and even makes it difficult to discuss current cooling system performance with contractors, engineers, and maintenance personnel. This paper explains cooling terms in common language, providing an essential reference for IT professionals and data centre operators.

Executive summary


High-density servers offer a significant performance per watt benefit. However, depending on the deployment, they can present a significant cooling challenge. Vendors are now designing servers that can demand over 40 kW of cooling per rack. With most data centres designed to cool an average of no more than 2 kW per rack, innovative strategies must be used for proper cooling of high-density equipment. This paper provides ten approaches for increasing cooling efficiency, cooling capacity, and power density in existing data centres.

and typically only implemented after failures or overheating occur. Historically, no clear stand c


andard exists for specifying sufficient cooling to achieve predictable behavior within wiring closets. An appropriate specification for cooling IT wiring closets should assure compatibility with anticipated loads, provide unambiguous instruction for de


or design and installation of cooling equipment, prevent oversizing, maximise electrical efficiency, and be flexible enough to wo


o work in various shapes and types of closets. This paper describes the science and practical application of an improved method for the specification of cooling for


and p m


wiring wiring closets. Executive summary


Latest generation high density and variable density IT equipment create conditions that traditional data centre cooling was never intended to address, resulting in cooling systems that are oversized, inefficient, and unpredictable. Room, row, and rack-based cooling methods have been developed to address these problems. This paper describes these improved cooling methods and provides guidance on when to use each type for most next generation data centres.
