Abstract: Physics-based modeling aids in designing efficient data center power and cooling systems. These systems have traditionally been modeled independently under the assumption that the inherent coupling of effects between the ...

Abstract: Two self-developed control schemes, ON/OFF and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), were applied on a hybrid evaporative and direct expansion (DX)-based model data center cooling system to assess the impact ...

Abstract: Data centers consume an extraordinary amount of electricity, and the rate of consumption is increasing at a rapid pace. Thus, energy efficiency in data center design is of substantial interest since it can have a significant ...

Abstract: A thermo-economic analysis (TEA) of a novel cooling and enhanced heat recovery (CEHR) system for data centers (DCs) is presented. Three financial metrics (net present value—NPV, return on investment—ROI, and payback ...
