CFD Calculation of the Cooling Air Flow in Server Rooms for Flow Optimization

01.07.2008 - 31.12.2009
Assigned research project
In a large server room of OeNB sub-optimal cooling air flow conditions lead the a high energy consumption for back cooling of the cooling air. Measurements, calculation (balances) and CFD modelling performed by Vienna University of Technology will assist the flow optimization in the server room with goal to reduce cooling costs.
