Eliminate Hot Spots in Data Centers

Hot spots in data centers are generally caused by airflow issues. Wherein the cool air does not reach its target IT equipment. To prevent it, the air must be spread evenly and redistribute heat loads into every rack. Monitor the temperature in the bottom, middle and top racks by installing temperature sensors. Place these temperature sensors in each rack, three sensors per rack.
Optimize Data Center Design
If your data center has a raised floor, place the hottest racks in front of the perforated tiles. You may also change to other perforated tiles to match the airflow to the heat load. Do not place CRAC/CRAH units close to the perforated tiles. This will lead to a “short circuit” of air. The cool air will flow back immediately into CRAC/CRAH units. Hence, taking sufficient supply of cool air to the facility.
