In a data center, there are numerous pieces of equipment. Despite having advanced air conditioning systems, the internal temperature distribution is often uneven. Even with access air ducts in place—where both the front and rear of the cabinet are connected to airflow paths—it can still be challenging to effectively remove heat. However, due to varying power outputs among different devices, high-power equipment placed in specific areas can lead to localized overheating, which may threaten the safe operation of the entire data center and even cause serious damage to individual components. Therefore, it's crucial to control the temperature within the room and address these hotspots to ensure long-term stable operations, improve the environment for IT equipment, and reduce local temperatures.
To tackle this issue, several strategies have been explored. First, understanding the current situation is essential. There are seven main reasons for local hotspots: mismatched airflow supply from perforated floors, gaps in U-spaces, spaces between adjacent cabinets, gaps between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor, improper cooling capacity matching, incorrect hole density in cabinets, and aging equipment that cannot efficiently expel hot air. These issues contribute to the formation of hotspots, which can negatively impact equipment performance and lead to economic losses.
Next, a feasibility analysis was conducted. The measured temperature in one cabinet reached 43.8°C, which exceeds the industry standard of 35°C ±5°C by 3.8°C. Various methods were considered to lower the temperature, such as using manual dampers, blind plates, screens, enclosures, increasing cooling capacity, opening doors, and adding blowers. Each method showed potential improvements ranging from 2°C to 4°C.
The solutions include using guide ventilators and manual dampers to direct cold air toward equipment, blocking unused U-spaces, sealing gaps between cabinets, and preventing hot air from recirculating. Additionally, ensuring proper matching between thermal load and cooling capacity, controlling airflow supply, and increasing wind flow through heat sink units are key steps. While these measures significantly reduce hotspots, further exploration is needed for complete resolution.
Customized fans were tested to enhance airflow inside cabinets. By installing fans at both the inlet and outlet, the temperature was successfully reduced. Before fan installation, the cabinet temperature was 43.8°C, but after installation, it dropped to 10.9°C. Thermal imaging confirmed the improvement.
Finally, regular monitoring and maintenance are necessary to sustain these results. Implementing these measures not only ensures the safety and stability of the equipment but also contributes to building a healthier, more energy-efficient data center. Whether through traditional cooling or innovative solutions, addressing local hotspots requires a tailored approach based on the specific conditions of each data center. This ensures a reliable, efficient, and sustainable environment for critical IT infrastructure.
