The computer equipment installed in a data center or office space must be maintained within acceptable temperature and humidity specifications for reliable operation. A typical cooling arrangement consists of installing the equipment on a raised floor and using several air-conditioning units to force air into the space under the raised floor. While...

... there is a limitation in effectively preventing such phenomenon in an open space -IT server room with only the location of supply and return air infrastructures. The reality is that the problem of rising temperature (hot spot) continues to occur in currently operating data centers (see Fig.1 (a)). ...
Context 2
... there is a need to improve air distribution efficiency through additional physical barrier installation, and cooling efficiency can be improved by installing a simple partition wall on the rack server. Two types of formation are possible here [2]: the aisle partition system vertically dividing the cold aisle and the hot aisle, as shown in Fig.1(b): and the aisle enclosure system that blocks off the upper part of the cold aisle, as shown in Fig.1(c). ...

In terms of cooling efficiency, the aisle enclosure system that completely surrounds the cold aisle can more effectively prevent air re-circulation in comparison with the aisle partition system that simply forms a vertical wall. ...

Redundancy is generally considered in the computer room air conditioners (CRACs) of the data center room. The position of the CRAC in the on state and the operating air volume have a great influence on the temperature distribution. The temperature distribution of the data center room will affect the failure rate of the servers and the energy consum...
Forecasting data center cooling demand remains a primary thermal management challenge in an increasingly larger global energy-consuming industry. This paper proposes a dynamic modeling approach to evaluate two different strategies for delivering cold air into a data center room. The common cooling method provides air through perforated floor tiles...
The increased computational loads in grid servers are dissipating more heat to eventually amplifies the cooling demand in the data center (DC). This can lead to more submitted jobs missing their job completion deadlines. Unfortunately, the conventional DC job scheduling approaches do not provide compensation to the resource users on their submitted...
This paper presents a means to quantify air flow performance of both traditional raisedfloor designs and non-raised floor air-conditioning designs for data centers. Metrics are developed that will readily perm it owners, engineers and operators to measure and quantify the effectiveness of their data center cooling systems or changes that they make...
Microsoft research and Carnegie Mellon University [19] presented a model
which predicts the future temperature of servers through machine learning. As this
model relies on the sensor data, it will be costlier for large data centers to buy large
amount of sensors. In our research, instead of predicting future temperature we want
a model to calculate...
