Optimising Data Centre Cooling with CFD
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is transforming how data centres and electrical equipment rooms are designed and managed. By simulating airflow and heat distribution in detail, engineers can optimise cooling systems, prevent thermal hotspots, and dramatically improve energy efficiency.
Electrical equipment rooms and data centres are constantly pumping out tons of heat. It’s important to keep control of the temperature within these rooms and to ensure the equipment does not overheat and cause early life failures and low reliability.
DOCAN are at the forefront of technology with both 1D system network level design as well as 3D detailed design, ensuring you heat and cool at the right level, at the right time, and maximise uptime, and minimise energy spend.
The video below is 3D CFD capturing wild heat flux off a key piece of equipment in a data centre. The project starts with initial CFD studies and develops into full process design and process control.
