How to Identify Data Center Cooling Issues –
Top Tips & Solutions from DCR

Ramp DCIM Monitoring Software rendering

 

If they’re not identified quickly, data center cooling issues lead to equipment failure and system downtime. Cooling issues arise when the temperature at the air input to the server equipment is higher than 27 degrees Celsius or below 5.5 degrees Celsius Dew Point. Here are some free cooling tips to identifying cooling issues before it’s too late.

 

What Causes Data Center Cooling Issues?

Insufficient cool air:

One of the main reasons air cooling issues arise is that there is not enough cold air being sent to the cold aisle. This causes the servers at the bottom of the enclosures to consumer the cold air. The fans in the upper servers are drawing in air from the server room, which, at that level, is mainly hot exhaust air recirculating through the aisles. The solution is a variety of data center cooling systems such as chilled water, liquid cooling, evaporative cooling, adding heat exchangers & immersion cooling. Computer room air handler crah and crac hoods provide semantic support.

 

Insufficient airflow through racks:

If your high density racks have solid fronts they will only permit a very slow heat transfer. This means hot air interior temperatures can exceed 40 degrees Celsius. This can be prevented by using racks with perforated skins which will allow free air movement.

Increasing Cooling Efficiency In Server Rooms

Improving uneven air flow:

Uneven cooling efficiency throughout the server room is a common problem that is getting worse due to taller racks, more equipment in each individual rack and high power consumption. The best way to avoid this problem and promote real time energy efficiency is to implement at hot aisle/cold aisle configuration. Adding in-row cooling solutions is necessary in hotspots.
