| Abstract |
The modular data center is greatly influenced by operating conditions because its internal size is smaller than the existing hyperscale data center. The recent emergence of servers that can adapt well to indoor temperature rise requires a review of existing temperature conditions. In this study, the potential for temperature condition mitigation and annual energy performance were analyzed for recent installations of improved thermal performance servers in container-type distributed modular data centers. According to the analysis, the upper dry bulb temperature of the intake air for maintaining the recommended level, acceptable level A1, and acceptable level A2 was 14oC, 16oC, and 19oC respectively. The annual energy savings predicted in the analysis was 3.1% and 9.2%, when the intake air temperature of the servers in the modular data center was mitigated to the A1 and A2 levels respectively. |
