Introduction The world is becoming more digitalized than ever before. The workload of data centers has tripled since 2015 [1]. Despite huge progress in thermal management, traditional air-based cooling technology still represents a critical factor that significantly impacts data center operating costs and the environment. Depending on the size and operating conditions of a … [Read more...]
Towards Green Technology: Modeling of a Compact Plate Heat Exchanger Condenser for Thermosyphon Cooling of Entire High Power Datacenter Racks
By Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Ph.D., Jackson Braz Marcinichen, and John Richard Thome, Ph.D. CONTEXT AND NEW COOLING TECHNOLOGY Heat dissipations of servers and their racks in datacenters are reaching ever increasing levels, breaching the economical heat removal limits of traditional air-based cooling technologies. Currently, about 40% to 45% of the total datacenter energy … [Read more...]
