Four Principles Help Data Center UPS Power Save Energy and Reduce Consumption

The major energy-consuming users in IDC computer rooms are data processing equipment such as servers and data storage. The large amount of data equipment requires more UPS power to supply power. UPS power requires a certain amount of energy in the conversion of electrical energy, and the electrical energy is transmitted and distributed. There are also losses. In equipment that meets business needs or has the same processing capacity, the use of low power is undoubtedly the key to energy conservation and emission reduction.

1.Select low energy consumption equipment

The major energy-consuming users in IDC computer rooms are data processing equipment such as servers and data storage. The large amount of data equipment requires more UPS power to supply power. UPS power requires a certain amount of energy in the conversion of electrical energy, and the electrical energy is transmitted and distributed There are also losses. In equipment that meets business needs or has the same processing capacity, the use of low power is undoubtedly the key to energy conservation and emission reduction.

2.Select a suitable power supply scheme and power supply equipment

Although the IDC computer room is important, it is not to say that all the equipment in the IDC computer room is equally important, and all need power supply availability of more than 99.9999%. Therefore, an effective and reasonable distinction is made between the electrical equipment in the IDC room, and different levels of power availability and power supply schemes are formulated to avoid useless power supply capacity and redundancy of power supply equipment, which reduces the investment in the power supply system and reduces the operating energy Consuming.

3. Reasonably lay out UPS power and organize airflow in the computer room

There is no one-to-one correspondence between heating equipment and cooling equipment in the IDC computer room. The heat is taken away by the airflow in the computer room. Improper layout of the equipment room and installation of the equipment hinders the movement of the airflow, reduces the heat dissipation effect, and consumes more energy; ultra-long distances and super-strong supply air require more powerful fans and consume more energy. Therefore, instead of stacking air-conditioning and heating equipment with sufficient cooling capacity in one machine room, the problem of heat balance is solved.

4. Prevent dripping

The UPS power supply in the IDC computer room is not tightly sealed, and the heat insulation effect is not good, which is also the focus of energy consumption. The doors and windows of the IDC room should be closed with good thermal insulation materials, and the walls, floors, and ceilings should be insulated. Especially in the southern region, the high temperature period in summer is long, and the heat transferred by the external walls cannot be underestimated.
