Why Monitoring Your Airflow is Essential to Reducing Costs Old habits die hard. And when it comes to data center cooling, the old way of doing things still lingers on today. Unfortunately, this dated approach to computer room cooling is actually limiting cooling... by Ian Seaton | Feb 27, 2019 | Blog
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Condensers and Temperature Differentials Over the past few months I have presented a series of algorithms for calculating the efficiency of different elements of the data center mechanical plant. These algorithms provided a framework for... by Ian Seaton | Jan 23, 2019 | Blog
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Air-Side Economizers and Temperature Differentials I prefer the term “economizer” to “free cooling” for obvious enough reasons: It’s not free. Even air-side economization does not merely require opening the windows. Beyond fans to... by Ian Seaton | Dec 12, 2018 | Blog
Should Enterprise Owners Consider Liquid Cooling? Should enterprise data center owners consider liquid cooling? The answer is, “Yes.” Should enterprise owners adopt liquid cooling for their data centers? The answer is, “Maybe.” Moving from “consideration” to... by Ian Seaton | Nov 7, 2018 | Blog
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Economizers and Temperature Differentials (Water-Side Economizers – Series) In previous pieces I have discussed algorithms for accounting for the relationship between pressure drop and data center fan energy and the relationship...
