| الملخص: | Data centres are critical for the expansion of cloud computing and are constantly being
operated by organizations continuously. However, the excessive heat generated by servers
can negatively impact the electronic components of computing devices, leading to increased
energy consumption, and cooling demands. Traditional air-cooling methods are not efficient
enough to promptly remove the extra heat, which has led to the need for designing data
centres with higher cooling efficiency. This project aims to investigate the efficiency of
passive cooling cabinets in data centres by comparing efficiency of passive cooling cabinet
configurations. Using ANSYS FLUENT, the thermal distribution and airflow around server
cabinets in a data centre are simulated. The results identify crucial problems such as overcooling
and re-circulation of hot air. The simulation parameters were achieved from previous
research of Sun HPC data centre and Investigation of Diverse Cold Air Inlet Configuration
for Sun HPC Data Centre. The project. Further studies are recommended to include different
server layouts simulation with more server and higher heat load to improve the reliability of
the findings. |
