IT-room-cooling-performance assessment

However, time and expert knowledge are required to interpret such information. While CFD software may provide information such as airflow patterns that may aid a user in evaluating an IT-room design, the CFD software does not provide an assessment of the IT-room design. Rather, a user is left to interpret and assess the information. Moreover, because there are multiple types of capture indices and one, multiple, or none may apply depending on a specific cooling architecture, capture indices may not be considered by CFD software that cannot determine which, if any, capture indices are applicable. Existing solutions may therefore determine cooling efficacy based only on temperature values (for example, IT-inlet temperatures), rather than capture indices such as a hot-aisle capture index (HACI) and a cold-aisle capture index (CACI), which may yield inaccurate results by failing to include all available information in making an efficacy determination. CFD software for IT-room design thus not only requires extensive experience and training to interpret because no assessment is provided, but also may fail to property account for capture indices by either omitting the capture indices or selecting improper capture indices.
