本文旨在为可靠性工程提供更广泛的理解，以及如何成功地将其作为设计更好的机械冷却系统的工具。我们还将指出使用可靠性建模时要避免的一些陷阱。可靠性工程中开发的预测故障的概率方法的使用极大地帮助了数据中心可靠配电系统的设计。这些经过验证的技术已应用于机械冷却系统。还将包括对可靠性工程指标的审查。 引用:阿什雷翻译。第118卷，第。德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥2号

The purpose of this paper is to provide a broader understandingof Reliability Engineering and how it can be successfullyused as a tool for designing better mechanical coolingsystems. We will also point out a few of the pitfalls when usingreliability modeling to be avoided along the way. The use ofprobabilistic methods of predicting failure developed in ReliabilityEngineering has greatly assisted the design of reliableelectrical power distribution systems for data centers. Thesesame proven techniques have been applied to the mechanicalcooling systems. A review of the metrics of Reliability Engineeringwill also be included.
