EnergyLok Seminar
Dilemma
There is a lack of understanding of the science and techniques of effective data center cooling management. This includes the ability to quantify the changes necessary, to identify the appropriate best practice, and to implement the airflow management strategy in the computer room.Methodology
The EnergyLok Seminar, using a comprehensive one day, on site training event, educates key stakeholders, from both the Facilities and IT departments on "Cooling Science". Cooling science is an explanation of industry best practices and identification of practical solutions applicable to the specific site . An EnergyLok engineer will walk department heads through an onsite thermal profile of the data center discussing relevant measures of "Cooling Health" including: measurement of bypass airflow, detection of hotspots, and identification of cooling capacity factors (ratio of installed capacity to current loads).Results
The EnergyLok Seminar study of "Cooling Science" encourages cross departmental understanding of the real-time benefits associated with airflow management for data center optimal "Cooling Health". The deliverables:1. An estimate of computer room cooling efficiency/inefficiency and redundant capacity
2. Measurements of "Cooling Health" (using industry and ASHRAE metrics and standards)
3. Identification of horizontal and vertical hotspot zones
4. Survey of computer room layout comparisons to industry recommendations and best practices
5. Examination results of computer room environmental issues, precision cooling, control of bypass airflow, contamination, cold and hot aisle arrangements, placement of cooling units and the science of optimum cooling system operation
6. Practical solutions for high-density data center cooling issues
7. Infrared (IR) thermal imaging of IT and cooling equipment
8. Quantified potential financial and operational impact
9. Review and recommendation for sealing methods
10. Review of case studies with applicable information and related sites
