Abstract
In order to solve the problems of uneven air supply and mixing of cold and hot airflow in the data center at present. This paper proposes a cabinet with on-demand cooling function, introduces the structure and working principle of it, establishes a simulation experiment platform for simulation calculation, and studies the influence of different factors on the cooling effect. The results show that compared with the traditional cooling method, the cooling effect of this cabinet is better, the average temperature of the servers is reduced by 7.89 K; the cooling effect can be improved by increasing the air intake volume and reducing the air inlet temperature, and the influence of air temperature on the cooling effect is greater than that of air volume: every 2 K increase in inlet air temperature, the minimum intake air volume will be increased by up to 600 m3/h.
