This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/121,275, titled “IT-ROOM-COOLING-PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT,” filed on Dec. 4, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
At least one example in accordance with the present disclosure relates generally to information-technology-room cooling.
Data centers often include computer servers and power-supply devices to provide power to the servers. Computer servers and power-supply devices generate heat when operating. Consequently, many data centers include cooling devices to cool the computer servers and/or power-supply devices. The cooling devices may regulate a temperature in the data center such that a temperature of the computer servers and/or power-supply devices is controllable.
