Why CFD?
Let us help you save energy and avoid costly data center design mistakes and system downtime. With Kupper Engineering’s robust CFD modeling tools, we provide the knowledge to predict the future health of your data center, whether it’s new construction or an existing infrastructure to which you are adding new devices and updating IT equipment.
CFD is an extremely useful design and operational tool for analyzing thermal properties and modeling air flow. It incorporates applied mathematics, physics and computational software to visualize how the flow of tempered air affects the surrounding environment.
Our Approach
KE combines detailed information about data center size, content, and layout to create a 3D analysis of how air moves through your data center, allowing us to locate potential hot spots where equipment is receiving too little air flow.
Using thermal mapping, we can identify areas where cold air is being wasted, or air is mixing with hot air, thus reducing the overall effectiveness of the cooling system. By changing variables, we can visualize how cold air will flow through the data center under several different scenarios. Our models simulate any changes to your design to help you understand what adjustments need to be made before you’ve invested significant capital.
Our team of mechanical engineers and design experts will assist you with the efficiency and performance of your data center infrastructure through the evaluation of design options. We weigh the cause and effect of data center changes and help you make smart decisions through simulation. Our cost-effective solutions improve cooling and reduce operating expenses.
Advantages of CFD Modeling:
- Predict design outcomes prior to construction
- Allows analysis of multiple design and failure scenarios
