In the earliest days of personal computing, excess heat wasn’t a problem; any heat that was generated by the computer dissipated safely into the surrounding air. Even in the 1980s, a single fan was all that was needed to ventilate the entire inside case of the computer. However, as faster computer processors continued to develop, fans were no longer enough to maintain an ideal … [Read more...]
Virtual Facility Integration Increases Control of Data Center Cooling
Future Facilities, a provider of data center design and operational management software, has partnered with Intel to integrate a 3-D data center model known as Virtual Facility with the new thermal sensors Intel is embedding into its servers. By embedding the new thermal sensors, Intel will be able to allow the CPU to optimize IT load capacity planning and eliminate the need … [Read more...]
New Liquid Cooling System Based on Rocket-Cooling Technology
Researchers at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) based out of the University of California, San Diego have developed a new approach to cooling computer servers. Based on rocket-cooling technology, the Cool-Flo liquid cooling system may improve energy efficiency and enable higher-performance computing. Developed by Steve … [Read more...]
Water Consumption in Liquid-Cooled Data Centers Remains a Concern
Though water is not used by all data centers, it is a critical component for some data center cooling systems and overuse of it can potentially affect area water supplies. Large data centers using evaporative cooling can consume up to hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per day and could potentially exceed utilities’ ability to supply water, putting pressure on … [Read more...]
New Software Added to Computer-Aided Engineering Software Suite
Altair, the developer of the HyperWorks computer-aided engineering software suite, has announced the addition of TES International’s software ElectroFlo to the group of applications available through the HyperWorks Partner Alliance (HWPA). ElectroFlo is an electronics cooling package with a user-friendly graphical interface used for the thermal analysis of electrical components … [Read more...]
