Airflow Distribution


Airflow Modeling and Analysis


With increased heat densities, an understanding of a site’s airflow distribution system becomes critical. Airflow can be counter-intuitive and difficult to predict (as many have found). DP Guardian understands that in a data center, reliability must not be compromised in pursuit of efficiency.

Since 2003, our detailed approach to measure, capture, analyze and validate that which makes a site’s airflow distribution system unique has proven beneficial and cost effective. Our role is to organize, simplify and prioritize the “data set”.

Simply put . . . . .

 

 

We have verified that on average, 60% of conditioned air does not reach its intended target.
Customers routinely record return air temperatures but tend to overlook the intake temperatures of the servers they support.
When targeting cooling efficiency, management of the delta temperature at the cooling unit becomes increasingly important.
DP Guardian has performed airflow distribution modeling at nearly 100 sites, approaching 1 million sq. ft. across the United States.
