Using online simulation, you can design data center infrastructure based on accurate results to create the ideal indoor environment for your servers. Cloud-based CFD accelerates the data center design process and helps you identify the best-suited data center cooling systems; whether by implementing electrical fans, liquid cooling, evaporative cooling, blanking plates or a desiccant wheel.
SimScale uses a lean simulation workflow that guides you step-by-step through the data center HVAC design process, 100% online. Building a server room, you can use ready-to-use CFD analysis templates as a basis for your own design, simply changing the CAD model and simulation parameters to investigate airflow, cooling efficiency, thermal conditions, and more.
CFD provides you with improved knowledge of your cooling systems efficiency and whether you meet data center design standards and best practices. Design your data center based on this knowledge to create the optimal data center temperature and ensure your entire network of server cooling systems work harmoniously together for increased IT performance and energy efficiency.
In a data center, reliable cooling strategies are essential if your servers are to perform efficiently without overheating. Whether the server room for a small business or a large, off-site data center, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for HVAC offers major support in designing for optimal data center cooling and air conditioning.
Using software for data center design, in your web browser, you can quickly and easily see how factors such as hot aisle or cold aisle positioning, computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units, electrical fans and other data center cooling methods are affecting overall air distribution and temperatures.
Slowed performance, shutdown, or even fires; when a data center overheats there are consequences. CFD helps you evaluate air flow in your data center design and identify areas for improvement. Avoid recirculation or poor air flow due to false exhaust ductwork, cutouts in your raised flooring or wrong positioning of cabinets with CFD analysis.
Optimize data center cooling on all levels and evaluate energy efficiency for compliance with standards such as ASHRAE 90.4. Predict ambient and server temperatures, analyze fresh air streams and the flow of exhaust discharge, and find the best fan placement, sizing, and speed for cost-efficient cooling.
The nice thing about SimScale is that you can essentially run an unlimited number of simulations simultaneously with no reduction in computational resources. This is a huge advantage for us, because we are typically under heavy time constraints.
