25、the housing of electronic devices in many different fields of application. A wide field of application is represented by installations of communication networks with electronic devices in information technology (IT) environments. The classic way is to install rows of cabinets into defined foot print
26、 patterns and interconnect them via cables managed from overhead cable trays or raised floor cable management. So far, cooling has been facilitated by equipping the entire IT room with air conditioning in order to provide for air flow and air temperatures required for the safe operation of the elect
27、ronic devices. With the growing heat load in data centers, this form of cooling has become more and more inefficient. Thermal problems with respect to high-performance electronic devices have become more difficult to solve. The environmental aspect is gaining crucial importance forcing us to cut dow
28、n on wasting resources and to reduce CO2emissions. Alternatives to the air conditioning of rooms need to be looked at more closely. Under the aspect of increasing cooling efficiency, there are some major concepts, two cases serve as examples here: Case 1. The equipped group of cabinets, with dedicat
29、ed temperature control. This method is the cold aisles / hot aisles arrangement of a smaller number of cabinets, typically four to twelve. Its advantage over the air conditioning of rooms is the smaller air volume which allows a focused heat management with optimised dimensioning of power consumptio
30、n for the cooling devices and increased temperatures in the warm zones of the room. In such cases, efficiency can be increased by adopting exhaust heat recovery for room heating in cold periods. Due to the improved energy efficiency contained aisles are becoming more and more popular. Case 2. Single
31、 cabinets with water-air heat exchangers. This method is used for cabinets accommodating high-performance/heat dissipating electronic equipment, typically servers and mainframe computers. Its advantage over the room air conditioning or cold aisles consists in the high degree of constant air inlet te
32、mperature for sensitive electronic devices. Closed air circulation within a cabinet allows a very precise temperature control. The power consumption aspect may be similar to that of the cold aisle, but the temperature control aspect is more important and favourable to a longer life-cycle of costly e
33、quipment. This standard has been created for case 2: Cooling performance tests for water-supplied heat exchangers in single electronic cabinet configurations. The parameters with reference to the described test sample are shown in diagrams which may be useful to provide for a standardized calculatio
34、n method for specific cabinet dimensions and heat exchanger cooling requirements. The typical required cooling capacity for such cabinets is normally higher than 12 kW. The described test methods of this standard address a cooling capacity of more than 12 kW. However, since IT equipment varies the h
35、eat load to a cabinet the test also considers values below 12 kW for partial heat load.

36、upplied heat exchangers in electronic cabinets 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 62610 specifies the test setup and test parameters for water supplied heat exchangers within single electronic cabinet configurations. The tests are focused on cabinets for the installation of high power dissipation e
37、lectronic equipment. The cabinets concerned are from the IEC 60297 (19 in) and IEC 60917 (25 mm) series. The purpose of this standard is to provide comparable data for the cooling performance of cabinets according to defined test setups and cooling parameters. 2 Normative references The following do
