Efficiency and redundancy DC Energy consumption Electricity (10 %) Other (3 %) Servers (50 %) Trends ASHRAE will extend the operational range (temperature and humidity) for server, switches and storage devices Free Cooling will become more popular but : Cooling (37 %) HPC and Super Computing will require higher cooling power 19
Efficiency and redundancy Traditional way to cool down DC Syy huoneen kaappikohtaiseen tehoon ja lämpötilaeroon eri korkeuksilla. Mixing air flows are causing malfunction and lower efficiency 20
Efficiency and redundancy KISS Efficiency cold aisle containment Air containment raises the efficiency to a new level! 21
Efficiency and redundancy Free cooling Free cooling effect with different temperatures Both cases with efficiency assumption COP = 3.4 If water in temperature is raised 6 K savings in (mechanical) cooling are: 4815 / 1a 24075 / 5a 48150 / 10a Water in 15 C Mechanical cooling time 3 months 34 kw->100 kw cooling power 0,09 / kwh = 6615 eur /1a 33075 eur/ 5a 66150 eur/ 10a Water in 9 C Mechanical cooling time 5 months 34 kw->100 kw cooling power 0,09 / kwh = 11430 eur/1a 57150 eur/5a 114300 eur/10a
