Regarding (cabinet airflow management), this thing is actually very important to many places where the cabinet is used. To put it bluntly, the air flow management in the cabinet can have a reasonable flow. This can effectively control the heat generated by the equipment and avoid local overheating. This kind of overheating is often the case – it will affect the normal operation of the equipment. We have to keep some fun here, otherwise it will be troublesome when there is a real problem.
What is the important aspect of cabinet airflow management? Let’s talk about how many modules are separated.
First of all, it can ensure stable equipment performance . I think if the air in the cabinet is not circulating well, the heat cannot be dissipated, and the cold cannot be in. Over time, many components of the equipment will easily degrade due to high temperatures. For example – if the computer server is placed in a cabinet with poor airflow – the calculation and data processing work in operation will be hindered, and maybe the response is slow, the operation is wrong, etc., who can withstand this. If the cabinet airflow management is done well, the temperature of each component in the equipment will be generally stable in the range that can work normally. The same computer server makes the data transmission smooth and there are no errors.
Secondly, it extends the service life of the equipment . Everyone knows that high temperatures are particularly prone to damage to electronic devices, right? Various circuit chips are prone to age and degeneration after working in relatively high temperature environments. We usually work so hard to earn money to buy these cabinet equipment, right? If it breaks early, it will be unprofitable. If the reasonable air flow takes away all the heat – the equipment works in a relatively low temperature environment for a long time, it will reduce the wear and tear during work. Can it help us deal with it for a few more years, right? Just think about it, the electronic products I bought at home would have a longer service life if the temperature was always right. If you regard those equipment installed in the cabinet as electronic babies, it is not very important to pay attention to the air in the cabinet.
Furthermore, the issue of energy conservation can be improved . Do you not think about this? Appropriate airflow can make the air conditioner more effective in cooling the cabinet – to achieve better results in this case, if the airflow is not paid attention to, it may be that the air conditioner is not effective no matter how large the air conditioner is turned on. For example, a 10-group cabinet room (given a number to understand) The airflow arrangement is not done well. The energy consumption of the air conditioner has always been high and the equipment is easy to overheat and crash and waste electricity, is it right and delay business; then plan this thing well and arrange the cabinet air duct and other things properly. In this case, the work efficiency of the same equipment has been improved and the power use of the air conditioner is reduced – it can save a lot of electricity.
After talking about the key points of these modules, I will sort out the more practical details. I will mainly look at them in some Q&A:
1. How can I control the cold air and hot air inlet outlet of the cabinet?
Let me talk about it. First, let’s make sure that the cold air enters from the bottom of the cabinet. Then you can usually use grilles or mesh floors to better make the cool air outside run inside. In addition, hot air must be discharged to the upper part or back of the cabinet. Generally, fan modules can do this better (this way to squeeze out the hot air in the cabinet through exhaust)
2. Will different equipment have any impact on the airflow in their layout?
Let’s say that, the server or equipment placed in different heat dissipation systems is different – for exhaust equipment, you should pay attention to placing the middle point so that the surrounding air goes here, which is more convenient to integrate the flow with other equipment; while the blowing type is generally placed at the bottom or on the edge, and to supply cold air to the upper space (it is much more beneficial to the overall air distribution, and it is not easy to cause difficult situations such as heat accumulation).
3. What auxiliary equipment is needed to ensure good cabinet airflow?
Oh, that's quite a lot, for example, fan components are more important. The equipment that can be controlled with a certain amount of air volume, air volume, and other reasonable parameters such as air volume are very effective, which can allow stable circulation of airflow, whether it is suction or pumping; in addition, there are other things to be needed. Such as airflow baffles prevent turbulence in the cabinet and form air holes (these small problems will affect the heat dissipation) This accessories are installed in the inner panel and other key diversion positions; occasionally, filters are inevitable. Some computer rooms or cabinets are in a more dirty and dusty environment – then a suitable filter on the air supply port can block dirt particles – and cannot block too much airflow entry. These equipment is appropriately used to make it very stable and reliable.
4. What should we pay attention to in daily management?
You must pay attention to the inspection work in normal times. Take a look at these accessories periodically, for example, the fan motor may have faults and the filter will be dirty or blocked. Once a fault is found, replace the fan immediately; and the blocked filter should be cleaned quickly (clean about one or two months according to the certain usage conditions or check carefully every few weeks to see if it needs to be dealt with). In this way, through continuous and regular maintenance, we can ensure that it will not become unreasonable and lead to a series of accidents. It is also important to emphasize that controlling the temperature of the air conditioner equipment and the degree of opening the cabinet door is also necessary to control the details (if the door is too open, it is not good to run in outside heat, right? But sometimes it depends on whether there are enough workers during maintenance, etc.)
Okay, let’s talk and explain it so well, it’s already quite complete for this. In short, I think this is not just a small matter. The air quality control problem inside the cabinet seems inconspicuous – it is really closely related to whether our equipment can work for a long time and whether the working condition is good (even the computer room environment, energy consumption and cost, etc. are related to this aspect, right?). We have to pay great attention to the key points of our daily operation and maintenance equipment selection and details in all aspects.
