A Digital T-Trust representative shares three ways data-center operators can cut cooling energy use: seal tile cuts and install blanking panels to stop cold-air leakage, use cold-aisle/hot-aisle containment to direct cooled air straight to servers, and switch from high default fan speeds to demand-driven control that runs fans only when needed.
So Digital T-Trust has a very unique position due to the diversity of our customer base. We draw from that diversity to extract some best practices and tips that we share with our customers. The first tip that I'd like to share with our customer base is to try to minimize the leakage factors. Today on the data center floor, you'll have a lot of tile cuts that are not sealed. You'll have servers installed in racks that are not blanketed. That's causing for cold air to leak into data centers, and by doing so, you will have data centers consuming more energy to cool itself. The second point would be to take a look at cold R, hot I containment to see that that air now is only directed where it's needed, which is at the server. Inlet. The third tip that we share with our customers is to take a close look at the fan speed. They traditionally ship by the manufacturer set on high. By actually going and putting in a more modular approach to the fan speed, they have the ability to only draw air when it's needed and minimize by the consumption of the energy needed to cool the data center.
