Room-based Cooling Approach
(Click image to view full-size)
Traditional data center, computer room, and server room cooling methodologies
provide room-oriented cooling which provides an entire room with
cold air from centralized units at one end of the room. This
approach is acceptable when power densities are minimal and,
therefore, there are few hot spots in a room.

Effective Room-Based Cooling approaches start with well understood Key Design
Criteria to understand the total cooling requirement, areas of
possible hot-spots, design elements (I.e. raised floor, ceiling
mounted air ducts), room architecture, hot-aisle/cold-aisle
containment strategies to name a few requirements and design
considerations.
In
large data centers Room-Based Cooling Solutions remain the most
economical approach to cooling and, where appropriate and necessary,
can be deployed in a hybrid environment with Row- and Rack-Based
Cooling solutions. This approach is beneficial to data centers
operating with a broad spectrum of rack power densities.

In this approach each of the types of cooling
solutions approaches plays a role to provide cooling throughout the
facility:
- Room-Based: Supplying a room but primarily serving a low density area of mixed equipment such as communications equipment, low
density servers, and storage.
- Row-Based: Supplying a high density or ultra-high density area with blade servers or 1U servers.
- Rack-Based: Supplying isolated high density racks or ultra-high density racks

Manufacturers provide small-room and large-room
oriented cooling systems. In many cased small-room cooling can be
efficiently deployed using
Rack-Based cooling solutions
and appropriate
isolation solutions
and
heat rejection solutions. For large-room deployments designs may include the cooling systems
deployed within the data center, computer room, or server room,
heat
rejection solutions,
and
economizers.
