Development And Validation Of The Deliquescent Relative Humidity Test Method For The Accumulated Particulate Matter Found In A Data Center Utilizing An Airside Economizer, Roshan Anand May 2018

Development And Validation Of The Deliquescent Relative Humidity Test Method For The Accumulated Particulate Matter Found In A Data Center Utilizing An Airside Economizer, Roshan Anand

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

Data centers are virtual or physical infrastructure utilized by enterprises to house computer, server and networking systems and other vital components for the needs of the company’s information technology mainly serving the purpose of storing, processing and serving large amounts of mission critical data to clients. As data centers house a network’s most critical systems and are extremely vital for the continuity of daily operations, every organization prioritizes the reliability and security of data centers and their information. A remarkable amount of data center energy is consumed in eliminating the heat generated by Information Technology (IT) equipment to maintain and …


Experimental Analysis Of A Single-Phase Direct Liquid Cooled Server Performance At Extremely Low Temperatures For Extended Time Periods, Gautam Gupta May 2018

Experimental Analysis Of A Single-Phase Direct Liquid Cooled Server Performance At Extremely Low Temperatures For Extended Time Periods, Gautam Gupta

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

A data center is a centralized facility that we use for housing the computer systems and its related components such as high-end servers, redundant data connection and security controls. The next radical change in the thermal management of data centers is to shift from conventional cooling methods like air-cooling to direct liquid cooling (DLC) to deal with high thermal mass. The past few years have consistently seen wider adoption of direct liquid cooling because of its simplicity and high heat dissipation capacity. Passive single phase engineered fluid immersion cooling has several other benefits like better server performance, even temperature profile …


General Methods For The Thermal Design Of Data Centers Based On Evaporative Cooling, Raghvendra Parinam May 2018

General Methods For The Thermal Design Of Data Centers Based On Evaporative Cooling, Raghvendra Parinam

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

With the increasing load on the servers, the cost and energy required to cool a data center has been on the rise. This has kept the researchers to explore more efficient and economical cooling technologies for data centers. One such technology is evaporative cooling. The evaporative cooling systems are one of the most effective methods available for cooling the data centers. So, developing the generic methods for the thermal design of data centers is of utmost importance. This research aims to identify, develop and validate the thermal model for Direct Evaporative Cooling and Indirect Evaporative Cooling. By taking the environmental …


Airflow Path And Flow Pattern Analysis Of Sub-Micron Particulate Contaminants In A Data Center With Hot Aisle Containment System Utilizing Direct Air Cooling, Satyam Saini May 2018

Airflow Path And Flow Pattern Analysis Of Sub-Micron Particulate Contaminants In A Data Center With Hot Aisle Containment System Utilizing Direct Air Cooling, Satyam Saini

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

The percentage of the energy used by data centers for cooling their equipment has been on the rise. With it has been the necessity for exploring new and more efficient methods, both from an engineering as well as business point of view, to contain this energy demand. The PCB boards are becoming more densely populated with multitude of smaller hardware on them, thereby, increasing its cooling requirements. Literature suggests that almost 40% of the total energy consumption in a typical Data Center is used for cooling purposes. Air cooling has always been the first choice for IT companies to cool …


Air Flow Pattern And Path Flow Simulation Of Airborne Particulate Contaminants In A Cold-Aisle Containment High-Density Data Center Utilizing Airside Economization, Gautham Thirunavakkarasu May 2018

Air Flow Pattern And Path Flow Simulation Of Airborne Particulate Contaminants In A Cold-Aisle Containment High-Density Data Center Utilizing Airside Economization, Gautham Thirunavakkarasu

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

The energy used by Information Technology Equipment (ITE) and the supporting data center equipment keeps rising as data center expansion continues worldwide. To contain the rising operation costs, data center administrators are resorting to cost cutting measures by not adhering to the ambient data center environment standards. In many cases, free cooling techniques are adopted to partially or completely relieve the usage of refrigeration units, which adds to huge cost savings but also allows for the increased risk of particulate and gaseous contaminations. The ASHRAE TC9.9 subcommittee, on Mission Critical Facilities, Data Centers, Technology Spaces, and Electronic Equipment, has provided …
