Server Room Cooling

Cold air paths and hot spots between racks

Category: Thermal & CoolingComplexity: Intermediate

0 views

A simulation of cold air from the floor or cooling units passing through server racks and back to the cooling unit. The results help arrange racks, floor tiles, and cold aisles to avoid hot spots.

Frequently asked questions about Server Room Cooling

What is included in the "Server Room Cooling" package?

Geometry and mesh prepared from your drawings; Simulation case and data files (Fluent/CFX) with boundary settings; Technical report: assumptions, results and design recommendations; Contour, vector and animation outputs ready for presentation; A 60-minute results walkthrough and two rounds of revisions.

Can you simulate my own geometry?

Yes. Send CAD files or drawings and the operating conditions (flow rates, temperatures, materials). We prepare the geometry, mesh and boundary conditions for your case.

How long does it take?

Roughly 14 working days after we receive the geometry and conditions, depending on mesh size and how many design variants you want compared.

How is the price decided?

Each project has three packages: Scope 1 (calculations) US$266, Scope 2 (calculations + CFD simulation) US$656 and Scope 3 (full engineering report + design recommendations) US$1,094, excluding 11% VAT. Pick the one that fits; more design variants, transient runs, moving parts or validation against experiments adjust the quote after a short consultation.
