  1. Critical Cooling for Data Centers: Evaluating Different Approaches

  2. Critical Cooling for Data Centers Critical cooling for data centers is designed to maintain specific humidity and temperature levels within climate-sensitive environments. If proper levels aren’t maintained, equipment could fail and date center would experience costly downtime. However, a proper cooling system will allow data centers ot operate efficiently.

  3. Critical Cooling for Data Centers • Air Cooling for Removing Heat • Using air for critical cooling data centers provides definite benefits. • Computer room air conditioners (CRACs) remove heat to the outside. • Critical cooling for data centers commonly use a raised floor approach.

  4. Critical Cooling for Data Centers • Liquid Cooling for Heat Removal • In many instances, liquid cooling provides more targeted temperature control. • This approach may be more efficient since the entire room may not need to be cooled. • However, significant downsides exist. • Accidental water leaks • Condensation build up • More expensive than air cooling systems

  5. Critical Cooling for Data Centers • The Free Cooling Approach • Free cooling reduces the amount of infrastructure needed in critical cooling for data centers. • It can refer to bringing in cooler outside air to cool data center equipment. • However, companies need to be cautious of contaminants entering teh facility from the outside. • Fortunately, many alternatives of this approach have been developed to deal with the issues.

  6. Critical Cooling for Data Centers • What’s the Best Approach • Critical cooling for data centers depends on several factors including facility size, power, density, budget and more. • Several variations exist between air and liquid cooing solutions. • Finally, an industry group recently increased the allowable temperatures for data center facilities.
