Comparing Performance Metrics of Partial Aisle Containments in Hard Floor and Raised Floor Data Centers Using CFD

In airflow assessment do not rely on RCI alone; RCI of 100% coexisted with RTI of 40-50%, showing oversupply and bypass. Report RTI and per-rack Capture Index together.

  • With supply cut by 50%, RTI rose above 80%, and recirculation appeared in all containment variants while RCI still looked acceptable.

Schneider Electric 2011

Comparison of Static and Rotary UPS

Store UPS efficiency as a curve with at least 25/50/75/100% load points, plus storage type (battery, flywheel) and ride-through seconds.

  • Rotary can cost 40% more up front and is typically not modular.

Cooling Effectiveness of a Data Center Room under Overhead Airflow via Entropy Generation Assessment in Transient Scenarios

Use in the design rationale that aisle containment cut air-side entropy generation to negligible levels (0.15% and 0.03%), against 34% for an uncontained legacy room.

  • With containment, air-side entropy generation was only 0.15% (downward flow) and 0.03% (upward flow) of the total, against an earlier estimate of 34% for an uncontained legacy room.

Cooling Technologies for Internet Data Center in China: Principle, Energy Efficiency, and Applications

In China, define project design targets from GB 50174-2017 temperature and humidity limits (18-27 °C, dew point 5.5-15 °C, RH at most 60%) and provincial PUE caps (for example Guangdong 1.25).

  • Cooling accounts for about 35-40% of total IDC energy consumption, the second largest consumer after IT equipment.

Coordinated Cooling and Compute Management for AI Datacenters

Design AI-hall cooling control together with workload management: when GPU count and tensor parallelism, DVFS and supply air temperature and airflow were optimised jointly, cooling energy fell by 31.2%.

  • Cooling is cited as contributing approximately 45-50% of total energy consumption in AI data centres.

CPU Overclocking: A Performance Assessment of Air, Cold Plates, and Two-Phase Immersion Cooling

For high-heat-flux chips, compare the point at which air cooling throttles (here 3.3-4 GHz) with the clock-rate gain from cold plates or 2P immersion (41-51%) in cooling technology selection.

  • Compared with air cooling, cold plates gave up to 41% and 2P immersion up to 51% higher CPU clock rates.

Data Center Air Management Estimator, Version 1.0 (2017)

Offer a 'quick' airflow-management estimate mode with few inputs, consistent with the DOE AM Tool engine already in the library (engineering reference v3).

  • Distributed as an Excel file (AM Estimator Version 1-0), posted 06/27/2017.

Data Center Airflow Management at 100F

When high-temperature (A2/A3 allowable) set points are selected, report hot-hour and mechanical-cooling percentages from site weather.

  • Air-side economization hours above 90 F: Denver 111 (A2) / 226 (A3); Phoenix 694 / 1,817.

Data Center as a Good Grid Citizen

Add grid-code parameters to the utility connection object: UFLS stages, LVRT curve, post-fault power recovery ramp (%/s) and short-circuit ratio at the PCC.

  • Typical BESS Li-ion cells are limited to about 1C discharge.

Data Center Chiller Plant: Simulation-based Comparative Control Design Case Study (2022 ASHRAE/IBPSA-USA Building Performance Analysis Conference and SimBuild)

Give cooling plant templates a control-sequence attribute (for example Guideline 36 condenser-water reset, economizer modes); it materially changes annual energy.

  • Alternative (Guideline 36-based) controls cut cooling energy 25% annually and about 18% in a typical summer.
