Datacom Equipment Power Trends and Cooling Applications, 2nd Edition

The Book Datacom Facility Designers Need Now to Be Ready for the Future. Datacom equipment technology is advancing at a rapid pace, resulting in relatively short product cycles and an increased frequency of datacom equipment upgrades. Because datacom facilities and their associated HVAC infrastructure are typically built to have longer life cycles, any modern datacom facility needs the ability to seamlessly accommodate the multiple datacom equipment deployments it will experience during its lifetime. Based on the latest information from leading datacom equipment manufacturers, this second edition of Datacom Equipment Power Trends and Cooling Applications provides new and expanded datacom equipment power trend charts through 2020 to allow datacom facility designers to more accurately predict the equipment loads their facilities will need to accommodate in the future and supplies ways of applying the trend information to datacom facility designs today. This edition also enhances the server power trends by including trends for the number of sockets and includes a new chapter with practical information on how to apply the trends in a data center environment. Also included is an overview of various air- and liquid-cooling system options for handling future loads and an invaluable appendix containing terms and definitions used by datacom equipment manufacturers, the facilities operation industry, and the cooling design and construction industry. This book is the second in the ASHRAE Datacom Series, authored by ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This series provides comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects. ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing, and continuing education. The ASHRAE Handbooks are the design standard for control of built environments with volumes on Systems and Equipment, HVAC Applications, Refrigeration and Fundamentals. Each is updated every four years. In addition to publishing design guidance for engineers, architects, and facility managers, we also publish a series of texts for classroom use. Some of the areas we publish in include: -Energy Modeling and Auditing -High Performance Building Design -Psychrometrics -Indoor Air Quality and Environmental Quality -Data Center Energy Efficiency -Noise & Vibration Control -Humidity Control -HVAC for Healthcare Facilities
