An Expansion on Applied Computer Cooling An Expansion on Applied Computer Cooling By Spencer Ellsworth LAES 400 November 29, 2012 Abstract In the world of professional technology, many businesses utilize servers and Ap- ple products in their day-to-day work, relying upon these machines for the liveli- hood of their operations. However, the technology being used is limited by a single, ever-important factor: heat. The key to improved performance, increased computer longevity, and lower upkeep costs lies in managing machine temperatures. Previously, this topic was investigated for the world of PCs. In this paper, modifications, upgrades, and available components that improve cooling are discussed in regard to servers and Apple products. Through the use of these methodologies, the aformentioned improve- ments may be achieved.

    Cooling System Considerations for High Density Colocation and Enterprise Data Centers By Rich Whitmore Executive summary The recent advances in computer technology and the growing adoption of high performance CPUs and GPUs are allowing users to achieve new heights in computer analytics including the use of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, High-Frequency Trading, Oil & Gas research and web scale business models. This rapid rise in use has overtaken most Colocation and Enterprise facilities’ ability to cool the se often-densified server racks on a large scale. While many facilities publish the ability to provide cooling for higher than standard server racks on a watts per square foot basis, many if not all are unable to manage newer computer systems at that density on a large scale. Co location and Enterprise data centers must consider how these new computers will interact within the data center environment, educate themselves on the various solutions available to cool these dense servers and build the infrastructure that can support the latest computer racks being used both today and in the future. Cooling System Considerations for High Density Colocation and Enterprise Data Centers Introduction As the uses for high density computers continues to expand, the requirements for operating these advanced systems has also grown. The drive for higher efficiency data centers is a subject closely tied to a building’s Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) which is defined as: (Total Facility Energy) / (IT Equipment Energy). High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters and high-density compute racks are consuming power densities of up to 100 kW per rack, sometimes higher, with an estimated average density of 35 kW per rack.

Jalgaon 2Assistant Professor, Mechanical Enineering Department, S.G.D.C.O.E. Jalgaon 3Head, Mechanical Department, S.G.D.C.O.E. Jalgaon Abstract: During the power management, the inevitable power losses induce heat generation in the power electronics. In this, effective design for the cooling system is essential in terms of safety, reliability, and durability. A liquid cooling system for the power electronics is applied to chill the electrical components below the thermal specifications. Nonetheless, the layout of cooling components is usually designed after the completion of the chassis and power electronics in the automotive applications, thus, only a little freedom is allowed to change the layout. Thus, it is significant and urgent to investigate the cooling performance before finalizing the layout design. In this work, one dimensional and computerized fluid dynamics code is employed to simulate the performance of the cooling system at the early stage of conceptual design. Three different layouts of cooling systems are chosen to compare the ensuing systematic cooling performances. The liquid flow rates, pressure drops, and maximum temperatures are computed by the numerical simulations of the cooling system which comprises the cold plates, liquid pump and heating electronic device. Index Terms: High performance CPUs, heat transfer enhancement, liquid impingement, heat transfer 1.
