A data hall is a thermal problem wearing a building
A data hall is a thermal problem wearing a building. Rack density, containment strategy, CRAC/CRAH placement, floor void depth and redundancy topology are all one coupled decision, and getting it wrong shows up as hot spots, throttled hardware and a PUE the operator can never recover.
CORDEX designs the mechanical and electrical systems for data centres and IT rooms, and validates the airflow in CFD before the raised floor goes down. We model the hall at design condition, at failure condition and at partial load, because that last one is where most halls actually spend their lives.
