Dustin W. Demetriou, PhD Email: dwdemetr@us.ibm.com As most readers are aware, the data center industry has put an increased focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact. Data centers in the United States are estimated to consume nearly 2% of the total electricity. The de facto metric used in the data center industry to evaluate energy efficiency has been the Power Usage … [Read more...]
Two Phase Cooling System for Data Centers
Ebullient introduces a two phase cooling system for data centers - the Ebullient Cooling System (ECS). It can cool up to 12 heat sources in series in a continuous loop while maintaining a device temperature of +/-2 degrees Celsius. It also offers flexible tubing which allows the system to adapt to hardware without modification. The cooling system “is composed of Ebullient’s ES … [Read more...]
Comparison of HPC and Telecom Data Center Cooling Methods by Operating and Capital Expense Extended Article
Dr. Alexander Yatskov Thermal Form & Function Inc. Introduction Current high-performance computing (HPC) and Telecom trends have shown that the number of transistors per chip has continued to grow in recent years, and data center cabinets have already surpassed 30 kW per cabinet (or 40.4 kW/m2) [1]. It is not an unreasonable assumption to expect that, in accordance … [Read more...]
