Recent changes to the standards of American Society of Heating, Cooling and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning) widened the corridor Operating conditions for enterprise server. If earlier in server demand compliance temperature from 20 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius with humidity of 40-50%, this year was permissible temperature range of 15 to 32 degrees, with humidity of 20-80%.
This relief has allowed NEC Corporation to begin work on the development of energy-saving systems for cooling servers . This setting will be used to remove the heat difference between the ambient temperature and server.
According to the developers, the application of such a system will reduce energy consumption during operation of the server by 30%, which is very significant. In addition, installation is extremely compact and efficient: with a length of about 6 meters it is possible to install up to six server racks, power up to 8 kilowatts each.
