ASHRAE issues thermal guidelines for data centers; common protocol proposed.(News)(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers )
ATLANTA, GA -- New environmental guidelines for data centers from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) provide a common protocol for use by the entire spectrum of data center related industries from information technology (IT) equipment manufacturers to design engineers and facility operators.
Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments provides a power density roadmap as well as recommended environmental conditions and protocols that should provide for more seamless integration of IT equipment into data centers. This will result in a reduction in thermally related IT equipment faults, an increase in reliability, and the potential for more energy efficient facilities, the society says.
"The guidelines provide a matched set of conditions that IT equipment manufacturers can design to and that datacom centers can strive to maintain," Don Beaty, DLB Associates Consulting Engineers, PC, and chair of ASHRAE's technical committee on mission critical facilities, technology spaces, and electronic equipment, which wrote the guidelines, said. "Previously, each group has defined their own criteria. Now, if manufacturers design to the allowable conditions and facility operators maintain the recommended conditions, the potential gains can be more readily realized."
