Many of our clients need help with eliminating thermal mixing and hot spots in their existing critical facilities through a more sophisticated cooling solution. This resolution must deal with the diverse power densities and uneven loading that occurs in a majority of existing data center facilities. Most data centers are "over aired," which results in unused conditioned air being short circuited, while other areas with concentrated loads are overheating. Glumac utilitzes CFD modeling, thermal imaging, and engineering analysis to eliminate thermal mixing. These solutions can be as simple as relocating or removing supply air floor tiles, to creating hot and cold equipment aisles, and relocating process cooling equipment. Conventional data centers operate at a power density range of 30 to 150 Watts per square foot (W/sf). To increase cooling performance where it is needed, minimize construction costs, and reduce thermal mixing, mechanical design engineers are turning to CFD modeling (computer simulation) as a design tool.
