Importance of cooling in Data Centres
2
Summary
Data centres play a major role in shaping the
world around us and have become an integral part
of our day-to-day lives. Computers in any data
centres work 24/7 at high rates and consume a lot
of electricity. Due to high power consumption and
non-stop functioning, they tend to get
exceptionally hot which harms the performance
with frequent failures and increased downtime.
The absence of a proper data centre cooling
system can cause a loss of valuable information
that can have a sizeable impact on any company
especially those driven by data. As a rule, the
more the servers placed in a data centre, the
higher the temperature can reach. And, if
temperature shoots up beyond a permissible point,
the servers will stop performing at the peak, and
at the worst they could even burn out.

Data Centre Cooling System Options
There are multiple ways to cool data centres,
depending on the size, computer capacity that
must be cooled, regional energy costs, water
availability, data load and density. Popular
options include Water-cooled chiller plant
includes chiller system, pumps, cooling tower
water treatment and plate/frame heat exchanger in
series with the chiller Air-cooled chiller
plant includes chiller system and
pumps Direct evaporative cooling without
mechanical refrigeration, also referred to as
swamp cooling

The benefits of water cooling systems include
Tenfold increase in server density, Much less
energy required for cooling, Less time for
production and return on capital, Increased
infrastructure reliability, No need for
re-characterizing air flows before moves, adds or
changes, Much improved work environment (noise
reduction).
