很少实现数据中心设计点运行，大多数数据中心冷却设备都在非设计状态下运行，这对能耗有显著影响。本文介绍了一个热工水力模型的开发，该模型基于位于纽约波基普西的现有~6 MW数据中心和冷却装置。该模型固有的功能是捕获由环境条件、运行策略和IT负载波动引起的冷却基础设施的非设计运行。收集的数据用于验证，表明在许多非设计运行条件下，总体一致性在5%以内。引用:ASHRAE会议论文，蒙特利尔，QC

Data center design point operation is rarely realized and most data center cooling equipment is operated off-design, which has a significant effect on the energy consumption. This paper addresses the development of a thermo-hydraulic model based on an existing ~6 MW data center and chiller plant located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Inherent in this model is the ability to capture off-design operation of the cooling infrastructure caused by changes in ambient conditions, operating strategies and fluctuations in IT load. Collected data is used for validation showing agreement within 5% in the aggregate, at a number of off-design operating conditions.
