April 29, 2014: Updated Guidance on Data Center Cooling Covers Supply Water Temperatures
There Is an Increasing Interest in Liquid Cooled IT Equipment
ATLANTA — ASHRAE has announced publication of the second edition of Liquid Cooling Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers, which provides best practices guidance for implementing liquid cooling systems in data centers.
“There is an increasing interest in liquid cooled IT equipment at the rack, equipment, and component levels,” said Don Beaty, publication chair of Technical Committee 9.9., Mission Critical Facilities, Data Centers, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. “There is also increased interest in reuse of the heat rejected from IT equipment. One of the more important changes to the second edition is the addition of supply water temperature classification.”
