4 Steps to Optimizing Cooling System Controls for Maximum Efficiency
The use of intelligent controls brings high-level supervision to multiple cooling units and is an excellent approach to achieving energy efficiency goals. Emerson Network Power has found that a unified cooling system with intelligent control capability can improve efficiency by 10-20 percent.
To achieve the best results and the greatest efficiency gains, follow these four steps to optimize cooling control in your data center:
Step 1: Work with precision cooling experts.
The first step to optimize cooling control is to work with a specialist to review existing infrastructure.
Step 2: Adjust temperature and humidity set points or settings.
IT systems are sensitive to extreme variations in temperature and humidity. Adjusting the type of control, modifying set points, and adjusting the tolerance help ensure proper operation of the cooling system.
Step 3: Set advanced networking and teamwork controls.
Advanced networking and teamwork controls help account for non-uniform rack densities across the data center. Such controls enable cooling based on conditions at the servers, and they also allow multiple cooling units to work together as a single system, thus optimizing efficiency.
Step 4: Configure Optimized Aisle Control.
If the units in the data center use Liebert® iCOM™ controls, units can share sensory data and provide coordinated cooling and humidity control. They also have the ability to use a combination of return, supply, and remote temperature sensors, along with underfloor pressure sensors, to enable Optimized Aisle Control. This allows for the greatest control of the temperature and amount of air being delivered to the server inlets. Efficiency improvements of 10-30 percent can be achieved, depending on row or aisle configuration, aisle containment, and proper set-up.
Make your investment pay off.
Setting up the features of intelligent cooling system controls takes knowledge and time. But it is critical to boosting overall efficiency, extending equipment life, and ensuring the best possible performance and availability.
