Cooling in Data Centre

Image
When you turn on your TV at your home and after some time when you put your hands at the back of the TV you'll feel warm air coming out. This is due to the energy being created inside the TV is transferred into heat, making the device feel hot but this will not be the case in the front face of your TV screen as there won't be any space for the hot air to come out but yes the TV which we get nowadays in the market has space just below the screen to escape the hot air from the TV which otherwise would heat the TV when used prolonged and thus increasing the risk of damaging the TV. The same is the case in Data Centre also. The Data Centre is a building with a large number of IT devices placed the stack in a tall box-like structure called Rack. The devices are kept in a rack such that the front face of all the devices is facing the same direction as the backside in the other direction. The front face side of the rack is called a Cold Aisle where the cold air from the AHU comes to t...

Power Loads in Data Centre

Image
 As we all know, a Data Centre is a building with heavy Electrical machines, IT equipment, Mechanical machines, etc. To run this equipments/machines we need electric power either from Power station or Diesel generators. The power which we get from the power station is of High Tension Or High Voltage (11KV, 33KV) which is feed into HT panel which consists mostly of VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker) because while make and break operation it creates huge spark due to high voltage and current here is low but the potential difference charges the molecules of air of surrounding and gets charged during switching operation which creates huge arc which needs to be extinguished. Since Vacuum has high arc quenching property than air so the VCB is used in quenching the arc instead of ACB (Air Circuit Breaker), which is used in quenching the arc in LT( Low Tension/Voltage) side. HT panel is a metal enclosure with relays, circuit breaker, and energy meter used to receive high voltage power supply and...

DATA CENTRE: THE BRAIN OFTHE INTERNET

  DATA CENTRE: THE BRAIN OF THE INTERNET Globally, the number of  Internet users in the last decade (2011-2021) has increased drastically from 2000 million to 6000 million, but have we ever thought about how the internet works and how we get results of anything we type on the internet. Now here comes the requirement of the Data Centre. let us see what Data Centre is. Data Center (American English) or Data Centre (British English) is a building or a room consisting of physical IT Equipments (Servers, Routers, Firewall, etc) to collect, store, processing, distributing, or allowing access to a large amount of data to the user and is well managed by the highly skilled IT professionals. For eg. when you google something over the internet, google searches it in its directory in the Data Centre located at some locations and then it sends back the stored data from its servers in the Data Centres to the user. Now, since we know that Data Centres consists of physical IT equipment which ...
