Steadily increasing demand for data storage from processing applications and online websites has contributed to increased data center power consumption for more than a decade [1]. For example, the worldwide power consumption of data centers in the year 2005 was twice that of the consumption in the year 2000. By 2010 this increased by a further 56% to constitute 1.3% of global … [Read more...]

Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures, Part 5A: Passive PCM Cooling Systems
In Part 1 (Thermal Management of Outdoor Enclosures), key aspects for successful design and development of thermal management systems were covered briefly, among these, cooling device selections and its impact on power, battery back-up and maintenance has therefore become of paramount importance for telecommunications enclosures. These are: Full active systems, like air … [Read more...]
Comparison of HPC/Telecom Data Center Cooling Methods by Operating and Capital Expense
INTRODUCTION Current high-performance computing (HPC) and Telecom trends have shown that the number of transistors per chip has continued to grow in recent years, and data center cabinets have already surpassed 30 kW per cabinet (or 40.4 kW/m2) [1]. It is not an unreasonable assumption to expect that, in accordance with Moore's Law [2], power could double within the next few … [Read more...]
