5 Cooling is a waste of energy and money! Luminous power Electrical power Thermal power <1% efficient! 5

6 Getting cooling where it is needed is a problem of scales. Microprocessors are small Data centers are large 13,823,530 fold increase in size! 170mm 2 Intel Haswell EX (15 core) approx 160W 2,350,000,000mm 2 2MW facility with approx 400 cabinets. 6

12 Cooling data centres (inside the data hall) Flooded Supply Targeted Supply Contained Supply 12 Flooded Return Targeted Return Contained Return No ducting or plenum. Air returns to CRAC or CRAH overhead. Hot and Cold Air mixes! No ducting or plenum to the rack. Air returns through overhead ducting. No ducting or plenum to the rack. Air returns through ducting from hot aisle containment. Use of underfloor plenum or overhead ducting. Air returns overhead. Example: underfloor plenum. Overhead ducting for return. Underfloor plenum with ducted hot aisle contained or ducted rack chimney. Fully ducted to rack with cold aisle contained. Air returns overhead. Fully ducted to racks with cold aisle containment and ducted overhead return. Combined hot and cold aisle containment. Very reduced hot and cold air mixing. Liquid cooling.

16 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) 16

17 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) We need to try and get rid of this additional plant. 17

18 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) 18

19 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) 19

20 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) 20

21 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) A2 allowable. 21

22 Cooling data centres (outside the data centre) HEAT PUMP TO DISTRICT HEATING 22

23 So what is the best approach? Aim for as close to contained supply and return as possible no mixing of hot and cold streams = highest temperature to outside. Look at the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the outside heat rejection. Thermal Power Rejected/Electrical Power in Rejecting. Best in class is around 40.0 (direct/indirect air) or 4.5 for a Heat Pump to recover heat. Note that COP is dependent on external temperatures. If you want to talk PUE, then PUE = 1 + 1/COP 23

27 Total Liquid Cooling by full immersion: rack to the lab heat transfer Using 20W central heating pump. Two 2.5kW domestic hot water radiators. Thermal images show surface temperatures of the rack and the radiators. With 2.2kW IT and 95W of pumps gives ppue = 1.05
