Totally makes sense.Existing overhead delivery. Additionally raised flooring and trying to use pressure to "push" cold air up, is inefficient. Why fight the natural flow of air?
The entire room basically becomes a hot aisle. You can expect to walk into the datacenter and feel the room temperature to be in the 78-82deg range.Totally makes sense.
So the overhead and end of row containment is all AC - temperature lowered air. Cold air drops, so put it up high and let it rain down. Less mechanical blowers, fans, etc.
Aside from the AC feed, is anything done about heat removal in this design? Or do you overcome that with the AC injection in the aisle purely?
Yup - but one of the good ones. opcorn:Datacenter Porn
Makes sense how this works. This is in addition to room air conditioning too, correct? So reduces the HVAC cooling load some, yes. Certainly more comfortable. I use to often pack and use fingerless gloves and a fleece hat in some of my datacenter overnight work sessions. That's when sitting on my hind mainly and not hoisting gearthe room temperature to be in the 78-82deg range.
Our HVAC ones we tried here in Colorado was a 4 story monster basically by itself you could feel the flow of air to the supply side by itself man it made a huge mess in the noise department. Added a 2nd one before they decided 30 direct drive CRAC's would be better and we went from hearing fans to hearing servers. One group freaked out thought the AC died lol.Makes sense how this works.

Now to use similar concepts to deal with the mass noise pollution in such an environment
Ear plugs or noise canceling headphones make quite a difference when working in a DC. Noise canceling stuff generally works nicely b/c of the constant tone of the chillers & servers. That constant drone gets kinda rough after a while.Now to use similar concepts to deal with the mass noise pollution in such an environment
Sure does. These days I actually get physically ill from the noise and quickly. It is nearly identical to motion sickness.Ear plugs or noise canceling headphones make quite a difference when working in a DC.

lol... Thanks I was getting sick of the same old boring watermarks so it was time to change it up a little bit. Nice to see someone noticed.Kudos to the watermarking person for actually putting effort into it. You would almost think they were really there. Or are they? lol
Clearly you just need to put your logo everywhere like in the pictures, it looks rather sweetlol... Thanks I was getting sick of the same old boring watermarks so it was time to change it up a little bit. Nice to see someone noticed.
We'll post more pics as the project progresses so I'll have even more opportunity to hone my logo-fu skills.
I noticed that too. Nice work.lol... Thanks I was getting sick of the same old boring watermarks so it was time to change it up a little bit. Nice to see someone noticed.
