Numerical approach to a modularized data computer room using a fresh air-cooling system

摘要

A fresh air-cooling plan is proposed to deal with high energy consumption in a data center and continuous improvement of temperature resistance performance in an IT equipment. The modularized data center, which is designed to adopt outdoor fresh air-cooling method for reducing temperature, can greatly reduce the energy consumption in data center. Numerical approach to study on the distribution of flow field, temperature field and velocity field is given using the CFD software. The results show that the flow field distribution is uniform, and the temperature distribution meets the requirements of the data center system. The numerical results can be used for optimization of the modularized computer room.
