The topic of humidity control and if this would work in an ultra high humid climate keeps coming up. Most OEM spec’s allow for a wide range of humidity and it’s our belief that this cooling methodology could be used almost everywhere globally. Our only uncertainty comes around trying this near the ocean with high levels of salty corrosive wet air. We know it would negatively affect the servers at some point but the question is how quickly and is it within our refresh timetable. During a trip to ASIA last week I discussed trying a small scale “near the ocean” PoC to test this theory.. Does anyone thing this would add value to your company?</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:8998ba6f-07ae-4a45-b4f5-9a1a388f4ce2] --> 45nm consolidation data_center data_center_efficiency data_center_power datacenter efficiency energy energy_efficiency green hpc intel intel_performance_libraries intel_threading_building_blocks it@intel multicore performance power server server_consolidation threading_analysis virtualization vtune xeon don atwood Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:20:06 GMT don.c.atwood@intel.com http://communities.intel.com/community/openportit/it/datacenterblog/blog/2008/09/19/free-cooling-for-data-centers-video-and-whitepaper 2008-09-19T18:20:06Z 1 year, 2 months ago 8 http://communities.intel.com/community/openportit/it/datacenterblog/blog/comment/free-cooling-for-data-centers-video-and-whitepaper http://communities.intel.com/community/openportit/it/datacenterblog/blog/feeds/comments?blogPost=11545
