In such a situation, the number of servers is increasing in a data center. Thus, the heat density in a data center is much higher than that of usual offices. And typically, almost 40% of the total power consumption is used for cooling servers in a data center. Thus, cooling effectiveness is one of the most important factors in evaluating the value of the data center. The data center taken up in this paper is located in Ishikari, where is a cold district in Japan. Using the cool outdoor air for cooling servers helps us to cut the power consumption for cooling. This paper first assesses the efficiency of Ishikari data center measuring the temperature of seven parts in a building where the cooling air flowing. Second, this paper describes the most efficient method for the operation and estimates 1.11 of PUE (power usage effectiveness).展开更多

Although there are different energy analysis methods, which vary in complexity, the degree-day methods are the simplest methods and well-established tools. Energy consumption increases as the number of heating and cooling degree days increases and falls as the number of heating and cooling degree days falls. The value of degree days is a measure which can be used to indicate the demand for energy to heat or cool buildings and spaces. The monthly or annual cooling and heating requirements of specific buildings in different locations can be estimated by means of the degree-day concept. The base temperature is the outdoor temperature below or above which heating or cooling is needed. In this study, the degree days for the period of 2008-2012 were calculated for Turkey (10 cities) and also to develop new software for easy analysis about cooling degree days. This paper can be helpful for designing facade and also contribute to degree-day analyses.展开更多

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the theme selection and language of outdoor public service advertisement language in Guangzhou. It describes the features and expressions of outdoor public service advertisement in subject content, sentence form and rhetoric, aimed at understanding the basic situation and effect of public service advertisement on the audience, and guiding the audience to improve their morality and behavior.展开更多

The design was then compared with the exhaust efficiency of a typical natural smoke vent. The natural smoke flow ventilation design system was located at the top of the factory, where smoke streams effectively converged. Therefore, the source of fire was designed to be 2 MW, which has a better exhaust efficiency than typical natural smoke vent with same area. The simulation discovered that the exhaust efficiency of the natural smoke ventilation design systems is higher than that of typical natural smoke vent with 2 times the opening area and that was not affected by external wind speed, Instead, external wind speed can help to enhance the exhaust efficiency. Smoke exhaust of typical natural smoke vents was affected by external wind speed, even leading them to become air inlets which would disturb the flow of air indoors, leading to smoke accumulation within the factory.展开更多

In view of the growing significance of numerical finite element (FE) model for vibration behaviour prediction, the AC piping elastic end support characterization has been explored. The axial and radial stiffness variables (ka, kr1, kr2) of the compressor-piping mounting are obtained and represented by dynamic stiffness of compressor grommet. They are obtained from dynamic load deflection test based on compressor operating condition such as excitation frequency and amplitude. The unknown stiffness variables of the other tube end (chassis-piping mounting) are determined by parameter fine tuning. An experimental modal analysis using impact hammer test has also been employed to determine the vibration properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratio of the piping structures. The modal parameters acquisition using SCADAS mobile acquisition system and LMS Impact Testing software is compared with the corresponding simulated modal properties using Abaqus. Most of the simulated natural frequencies achieve good correlation with the measured frequencies and it is reasonably a good prediction model to predict vibration behaviour of AC piping structures.展开更多
