dc.description.abstractA Data Centre is a physical space that groups together computer equipment such as servers, storage arrays, among other equipment. It can be used for storage, processing and data protection. The majority of data centres operate 24 hours a day, and must provide the user with guarantees in terms of security and performance. Energy consumption is therefore permanent and the level of assistance and maintenance high. Data Centres have an ecological impact that is almost invisible to many users. In this paper a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the airflow and thermal distribution of a real data centre room with 208 racks is proposed. Two case studies are presented and simulated with a high thermal load subjected to the minimum and maximum air flow velocity, respectively. The objective is to assess if the computer room air conditioning unit (CRAC) can cool the racks of the data centre in order to efficiently refrigerate all the hot spots.pt_PT
