| Summary: | Data centers are one of key components in success of many IT companies such as Google. Cooling of data centers has been a decade-long problem since tremendous heat emitted from multiple racks of computing facilities typically overwhelms the cooling magnitude by traditional air-based cooling schemes. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of heat pipe-based cooling technologies for data center thermal management. For the feasibility, three different cooling systems are tested: conventional air cooling system, air-cooled heat pipe system, and water-cooled heat pipe system. The mock-up systems were already fabricated and tests are currently ongoing. Temperature measurements will be used to estimate the overall cooling performance of each system. Experimental results will also be validated with FEM-based 3D simulations. The outcomes of the project and the perspective of advanced cooling methodologies will be discussed. | |
