RE: Data Center Toolbox for Power and Cooling

Thank you for your comments and questions
Others please provide your comments or observations

As for tubes blowing cool air to solve hot spots it is not clear if you are addressing an isolated hotspot in a room, or are you suggesting this as a thermal air distribution design

The blowing cool air to resolve “Hot Spots” is a fairly common data center operations solution using spot cooling units ranging in size from one ton (3500 watt) to three ton (10,000watt) portable cooling systems with poor results. The issue is you need to remove the heat generated by the cooling unit which is still in very close proximity (3ft to 5ft) to the equipment you are trying to cool, this physical closeness causing Short Cycling or heat dumping into another line of equipment in the area.

A better solution is to use a large fan (> 10,000CFM) to move and or mix the air in front of the equipment from another area that is cooler then the “Hot Spot” this blended air source will mix with the rest of the room air and distribute the heat more uniformity

As a thermal air distribution design this has merit with some caveats. Any time you deliver a stream of air directly to the supply air side of the equipment you need to be aware of the velocity and or static pressure. You can alter the intended design of the OEM for air distribution within the equipment.

In short I have considered rack and supply air designs that use supply air tubes incorporated into the server racks that deliver cool air directly to the equipment supply intakes through an articulated duct. This configuration is used on some airliners to keep food carts cold when stored in the galley bays.

The IR (Infra Red) gun is similar to the camera except you have a very small target area from a square inch to a square foot. The gun will not catch and store an image.
The specifications for a suitable IR gun include a visible laser targeting feature; record the high low temp range, accuracy plus or minus 2 degrees F. the expected price range is $400 to $600.

Yes, security is very important and we should spend money out of it.

I think IT Security is important and this post has something to do with the thesis that I am doing right now. Thanks a lot.

Yes A good program is relative to the impact it has based upon the cost to deliver. How can it be ‘good’ if a program has no measurable affect on the environment? The effect of a program on hidden/immaterial incidents will not be taken into account by the audience as they are unaware of a value impact anyway.

This help me alot...
