It is, however, possible to achieve through an integrated design approach and.
This could see the emergence of two tiers of systems: high compute systems with high density at lower chilled water temperatures (at a higher ΔT) and lower compute systems (still high compared to today’s IT) with a lower density at higher chilled water temperatures enabling much more free cooling.. Alternatively, a liquid cooled rack with air heat rejection (on the back of the rack) can be installed to provide liquid cooling whilst maintaining the existing air-cooled system, but this is a less common approach.. Onward look to heat rejection.In the realm of air-cooled data centres, the industry is increasingly gravitating toward to ASHRAE A1 allowable temperatures for data halls.
However, there is little indication of a shift toward A2 or higher temperature ranges.Heat rejection systems, including mechanical cooling, have started to reach a plateau, with manufacturers making incremental enhancements to accommodate higher chilled water temperatures within the ASHRAE A1 range..The next significant leap in the industry lies in the adoption of liquid cooling.
Many larger data centre operators are now integrating liquid cooling solutions into their facilities.However, the lack of a standardised design topology for liquid cooling systems and their various configurations, poses a challenge.
We may witness the emergence of two distinct data centre topologies: the energy-efficient approach versus the high-density model, or perhaps a hybrid combination of both.
These design choices will significantly impact heat rejection systems and other critical aspects, such as IT infrastructure development..Expert Group on Resource Management of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (2021).
