Airflow and thermal simulations can lead to huge power savings
Advantages
CFD visualisation can:
Minimise cooling power requirements and energy costs
Optimise Data Centre cooling effectiveness
Ensure that temperatures are within specifications at all rack inlets and throughout the room
Eliminate hot spots thus avoiding potential equipment failures and downtime
Simulate transient effects (e.g. temperature build-up following CRAC failure )
The FloVENT simulation software creates a virtual data centre with detailed 3D visualisation of airflow and temperature at every point throughout the room.
