Problems and Countermeasures of Air Conditioning Systems in Internet Data Centers in Xi’an City

Abstract:

Site investigation on air conditioning systems (ACS) in three internet data centers (IDCs) in Xi’an city was conducted, the relative data used for issues analysis was obtained from on-site testing of temperature field and velocity field in IDCs and online working meter on power distribution box of ACS and computer cracks, the field investigation found that there were three main problems: high temperature alarm of larger power electronic components in computer cracks; irrational air distribution around computer cracks; and not high energy efficiency of ACS. Corresponding problem causes were analyzed and strategies of problem solving were proposed in this paper.
