1 ANCIS TM I N C O R P O R A T E D Energy Efficiency and Effective Equipment Cooling In Data Centers Presentation at ASHRAE Summer Meeting Quebec City, Canada, June 27, 2006 Magnus K. Herrlin, Ph.D., CEM President ANCIS Incorporated mherrlin@ancis.us Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 1
2 Abstract Not only does modern electronic equipment consume large amounts of electric energy but its heat dissipation is tremendous in historical terms. For the end user, the cost of powering the data center is significant and providing effective equipment cooling is an ever increasing challenge. This presentation highlights how intertwined these seemingly separate issues are. Several new concepts are discussed: Rack Cooling Index (RCI), Cost Functions, and Gravity-Assisted Air Mixing.

3 Today s Challenge Equipment Health IT & Facilities Heat Dissipation Energy Consumption The challenge is to strike a balance between these three factors. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 3
4 Equipment Health Environmental parameters: Temperature Humidity VOC Particles The main task for a data center facility is to provide an adequate equipment environment; relevant metrics must be used to gauge the environment. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 4
5 Heat Dissipation Temperature [C] W/sf 50W/sf :00 14:20 14:40 Onset of Cooling Outage :00 15:20 15:40 16:00 16:20 16:40 Time [hour] 17:00 17:20 17:40 18:00 18:20 18:40 19:00 Even modest heat densities may cause temperature shock during cooling system outages; redundant cooling and backup power must be in place.

6 Energy Consumption Simplified yet accurate energy tools provide quick evaluation of HVAC designs without an in-depth knowledge of complex energy software. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 6
7 The Energy Food Chain Power Supplies Airflow Management Economizers IT Equipment UPS Operating Protocols Chillers Impact of measures The impact of IT equipment efficiency measures cascades through the food chain, the impact of chiller efficiency measures does not.

8 Energy Efficient IT Equipment The introduction of efficient network equipment provides an unmatched cost-saving potential for telecom equipment operators.

9 IT Equipment Energy Performance Energy metrics for IT equipment should be a top priority to encourage product development and informed customer decisions. A starting point could be to ensure a strong correlation between Power Draw and Processing Load. Power Draw Poor Good Processing Load Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 9
10 Data Center Design Issues Room temperature vs. intake temperature Industry temperature specifications Metric for compliance with temp. specifications Metric for energy efficiency Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 10
11 Temperature Specifications Max Allowable Max Recommended Min Recommended Rack Intake Temperature Intake temperatures arranged in order of increasing temperature Total Over-Temp (RCI HI = 95%) Total Under-Temp (RCI LO = 35%) Min Allowable Rack Intake # N Compliance with (industry) intake temperature specifications is the ultimate cooling performance metric; the Rack Cooling Index (RCI) is such a metric where RCI = 100% mean ideal conditions. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 11
12 What Is Considered a Good RCI? RCI=100% mean ideal conditions; no over- or under-temperatures, all temperatures are within the recommended temperature range. Rating RCI Ideal 100% Good 91% Acceptable 81-90% Poor 80% Reference: Herrlin (2005) Herrlin, M. K Rack Cooling Effectiveness in Data Centers and Telecom Central Offices: The Rack Cooling Index (RCI) ASHRAE Transactions, Volume 111, Part 2. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 12
13 How Is the RCI Calculated? The RCI can easily be calculated from measured or modeled intake temperature data by using RCI software. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 13
14 Cost Functions Since the costs associated with improving the RCI needs to be known, the concept of Cost Functions was developed based on costs to cool the data center facility. Chiller Cost Function Annual Cost [$] Example of Cost Function: Annual chiller operating cost as a function of supply air temperature Supply Temperature [F] By combining the Rack Cooling Index (RCI) with Cost Functions, a practical tool was born to design and evaluate data centers for optimal rack cooling effectiveness and HVAC cooling costs. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 14
15 What Can the RCI Be Used For? Design Equipment Environments. CFD modeling combined with the RCI provides a standardized method for evaluating and reporting environmental and energy solutions. Provide Design Specifications. Clients now have the opportunity to specify a certain level of thermal health in an objective and standardized way, e.g., RCI > 95%. Monitor Equipment Environments. Real-time monitoring of the environment is feasible by installing temperature sensors that mimics the equipment intake conditions. Help Product Development/Marketing: The RCI can demonstrate the benefit of a cooling solution. A product or solution with an RCI at or near 100% should be marketed as such.

16 Gravity-Assisted Air Mixing Exploring gravity s role for three cooling systems using the Rack Cooling Index (RCI) Bottom-Up Top-Down Reverse-Tile Reference: Herrlin and Belady (2006) Herrlin, M. K. and Belady, C Gravity-Assisted Air Mixing in Data Centers and How it Affects the Rack Cooling Effectiveness. IEEE-ITherm 2006, San Diego, CA, May 30 June 2, Does gravity contribute to high rack cooling effectiveness? The RCI was used to analyze the cooling systems. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 16
17 Over-head vs. Under-floor Rack Cooling Index (RCI) [%] Top-Down Reverse-Tile Bottom-Up 0 RCI(HI) RCI(LO) Clearly, raised-floor cooling (bottom-up) performs the worst Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 17
18 Over-head vs. Under-floor Further exploring gravity s role in data center cooling RCI [%] T-D RCI(LO) T-D RCI(HI) B-U RCI(HI) B-U RCI(LO) RCI [%] VOH RCI(LO) VOH RCI(HI) VUF RCI(HI) VUF RCI(LO) Heat Density [W/ft2] Additional Supply Flow [%] T-D: Top-Down, B-U: Bottom-Up VOH: Over-Head, VUF: Under-Floor Again, raised-floor cooling (bottom-up) underperforms due to lack of gravity-assisted air mixing in the cold aisle. Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 18
19 Over-head vs. Under-floor These results are pointing to some significant differences in rack cooling effectiveness (RCI) when gravity-assisted mixing is allowed to thrive (over-head cooling). This indicates that there are intrinsic performance differences between over-head cooling and under-floor cooling, where over-head cooling has the upper hand. This provides an opportunity to develop solutions with both high rack cooling effectiveness and high energy efficiency by utilizing the Rack Cooling Index (RCI). Copyright (c) 2006 by ANCIS Inc. 19
