Preface
Data centers house information technology (IT) and telecommunication equipment in standard sized racks or cabinets. The electrical energy supplied to these systems gets converted to heat and needs to be removed to maintain a safe operating temperature for the electronic components. Generally, cold air is forced through these systems to extract the generated heat, and the hot exhaust air is eventually cooled using an external heat exchanger. Air is the most common heat transfer medium in the data center room space because of design simplicity, low maintenance cost, and minimal disruption to hardware. Computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units placed in the room space cool the hot return air. They cool the hot return air through heat exchangers of either an inbuilt refrigeration unit or a chilled water loop connected to an outside chiller plant. To minimize the energy expenditure on cooling, effective air flow management is required so as to e
