Content Description

The purpose of this book is to discuss datacom (data center and telecommunication) power trends at the equipment level as well as to describe how to use those trends in making critical decisions on infrastructure (e.g., cooling system) requirements and the overall facility. There is an information gap that needs to be bridged between the information technology (IT) industry and the facility design/construction/operation industry. Today’s datacom facilities require a holistic approach, balancing the tradeoffs between datacom equipment and facility cooling infrastructure. Based on the latest information from all the leading datacom equipment manufacturers, Datacom Power Trends and Cooling Applications provides new and expanded datacom equipment power trend charts to allow the datacom facility designer to more accurately predict the datacom equipment loads that the facility can expect to have to accommodate in the future as well as providing ways of applying the trend information to datacom facility designs today. Also included in this book is an overview of various air and liquid cooling system options that may be considered to handle the future loads and an invaluable appendix containing a collection of terms and definitions used by the datacom equipment manufacturers, the facilities operation industry, and the cooling design and construction industry.

About ASHRAE

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today.

ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.
