Datacenter migration for thinking of cooling design

Datacenter migration, the amount of energy needed to cool the global data center, is expected to increase by three times over the next 10 years, both in terms of cost and environmental impact. 30% to 40% of the energy consumption of conventional data centers is used for cooling and cooling. The thermal load within the data center and the device must be managed effectively, so the data center operator uses a solution that maximizes energy consumption.

The new cooling products not only provide high efficiency and energy saving systems using the latest fan and heat exchanger technology, but also provide solutions that can be extended and optimized for various architectural designs. These building facilities may include single storey or multi-storey facilities. In addition, other factors such as hot and humid climate and location should be taken into consideration in cooling.
Cooling design
When selecting cooling systems, data center managers and engineers should first consider the type of technology they need. If they are interested in energy-efficient cooling products and choose evaporative cooling technology, they have two options, indirect cooling or direct cooling.
The indirect cooling method is very suitable for air pollution caused by external impacts and pollutants, such as airports, crops, smog, insects and industrial emissions. Indirect solutions can keep the cooling air in a closed loop and do not mix air flow with these potential destructive factors.
Through indirect evaporative cooling, the two air flow is cooled by water. The two cooling air passes through the heat exchanger, where the main air flow is cooled. The main air flow after cooling is circulated by a blower.
This low energy efficient indirect evaporative cooling solution can be extended to adapt to future growth, and to respond effectively to tropical climate, air pollution, multi-layer data hall, and meet specific transport requirements.
It can save up to 75% of the energy cost. Compared with the water cooled refrigeration system equipped with CRAH, the energy saving solution can also greatly save the infrastructure and construction space.
Challenges facing the data center in the Asia Pacific Region
The data centers in the Asia Pacific region are faced with the problems of land availability, air pollution and cooling solutions. Data centres in the region often focus on energy efficiency, availability (power connection and normal run time) and total cost. In addition, monitoring and evaluation capabilities and safety and control are key considerations.
Other factors include processing humidity and tropical climate, air pollution, and the ability to increase scalability from modularized data centers to large scale data centers.
Today, a configurable system can satisfy all of these problems. The latest cooling solutions not only save energy, but also can be applied to most installation types, including multi-storey high-rise buildings for building areas.
In addition, these technologies can also save energy for core business, and data center operators can effectively maximize the load in the data hall.
