Meritum Technology are European distributors for CoolSim software.

CoolSim v3.2 has been released.  You can download a flyer for the latest features here.  In summary, key new features include;

  • Modeling supply ducts and diffusers: In addition to the non-raised floor modeling capabilities introduced in CoolSim 3.1, CoolSim 3.2 now supports the ability to model supply ducts and diffusers. 
  • Modeling individual servers in an equipment rack with blanking and un-blanking: CoolSim 3.2 has added the ability to position specific loads at any height in the equipment rack with a commensurate size and flow-rate from a library of popular IT equipment.
  • Performing multiple simulations concurrently for the rapid study of CRAC failure: The analysis of CRAC failure is an important consideration of any data center. With CoolSim 3.2, CRAC failures can be modeled concurrently. Using the easy to use GUI, CRAC’s can be cycled on and off for multiple scenarios, then submitted to the high performance computing cluster concurrently.

These new features can be seen in detail if you follow http://www.screencast.com/t/7W0MzyOpVCY.

Main features of CoolSim are;

  • Flexible pricing to meet your usage requirements.
  • Easy-to-use interface - see below.
  • An automatically generated comprehensive assessment & cooling report
  • Colour coded thermal mapping of all rack temperatures in the data centers
  • Visual representations of room airflow patterns, temperature distributions, plenum airflow patterns, pressure distributions, and flow distribution through tiles - see examples section
  • The ability to run multiple concurrent simulations using our remote simulation facility
  • Fluent CFD (computational fluid dynamics) solver, the most widely used and validated code
  • Ability to model data centers with irregular footprint shapes
  • Ability to model raised floor data centers with room or ceiling plenum return
  • Place CRAC units both with and without ceiling plenum extensions in the same room
  • Model individual CRACs with different cooling capacities within a single data center
  • Perform CRAC failure analysis including both fan and cooling failure
  • Select CRAC units and perforated tiles from a library 
  • Rack builder feature with library to build rack with varying heat loads
  • Model cable cutouts both inside and outside of the racks
  • Model blockages of various shapes both in the plenum and in the room
  • Incorporate heat loads from PDUs and storage silos
  • Obtain a coupled solution for the plenum and room airflow and heat transfer
  • Model heat loss from the data center room envelope to adjacent rooms
