SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR RACK COOLING ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for modeling cooling performance, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, input data from a storage device, the input data including data related to physical structures within at least one equipment rack;
selecting, based on the data related to physical structures, at least one first equation of a plurality of predetermined equations that describe pressure values in a plurality of spaces within the at least one equipment rack;
determining pressure values in identified spaces of the plurality of spaces by solving the at least one first equation using the input data;
determining airflow values between identified spaces by calculating a difference between the pressure values; and
storing, on the storage device, the airflow values as equipment rack airflow values within the at least one equipment rack.
