Air Conditioning server room
Task / Calculation
The objective of this study is to optimize cold aisle containment for a server room by numerical simulation and thus to minimize energy costs by specific optimization of the flow field. The study involves two steps:
The following assumptions have been made in the investigations:
Results
In both tests, inlet temperature is constantly defined with T = 20°C. Due to geometry changes, the required air-mass flow could be reduced by approx. 7%. As air flow is conducted directly to the open mesh floor in the second variant, an optimal flow of the server room is achieved.
Thus, the required power consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced considerably, since, on the one hand, less air-mass flow has to be cooled and secondly pumping capacity is being reduced.
