Abstract

With the rapid development of communication industry, many kinds of severs are displayed in the data center today. Their different power consumptions lead to different heat diffusion. The decorate position of air conditioning units have sever effects on the air distribution and the operation of all kinds of facilities [1, 2]. As a background of this kind of area, three different positions of air conditioning units had been used to analyze how they affected the data center’s thermal environment by means of combining field measurements with computational fluid dynamics. Thus we got a suitable decorate position which can provide better air distribution. Based on these, this work made a further analysis of two kinds of air conditioning modes of bottom income and top outcome. The scheme had been optimized again and the server performance had also been improved. This work had presented proof for the design of air distribution and the retrofit of existing data center.
