FLOVENT - Optimizing Data Center Cooling Through Simulation
Why perform airflow/thermal simulation in Data Centers?
Simulation creates a “virtual” data center and provides detailed 3D visualization of airflow and temperature at every
point throughout the room. Armed with this vital information, you can quickly and easily minimize cooling power requirements
and energy costs; optimize cooling effectiveness; ensure that all rack inlet temperatures are within specifications,
and eliminate hot spots thus avoiding potential equipment failures and downtime.
Why choose Flomerics and FLOVENT?
Since 1988, Flomerics has played a pioneering role in simulation of airflow and thermal comfort in all kinds of buildings
using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. As a result, FLOVENT has become the most widely used, most validated,
fastest and most dependable CFD software for this application area. Flomerics’ support engineers have extensive experience
and understanding in data center cooling issues.
