With the vigorous development of the data center industry in the world,it is imperative to study energy conservation measures in the data center.The refrigeration system is a major power consumer in the data center,so it is crucial to optimize the refrigeration system.Based on a data center in Sichuan,this paper uses FoLTHERM software to conduct CFD simulation to study the influence of the cooling architecture of the data center on the cooling effect of the air conditioner.This paper mainly compares the temperature changes in each area of the data center under different cold/hot channel spacing and elevated floor space structure.By studying the temperature distribution cloud chart,data statistics and chart output,the following conclusions are drawn:① The cooling architecture layout with larger cold channel spacing/smaller heat channel spacing has more advantages for air conditioning airflow organization and cooling effect when the elevated floor height is lower.② High or low elevated floor is not conducive to air distribution and cooling effect of air conditioning.③ No matter the space between the cold/hot channels or the space height of the elevated floor,there is no linear relationship with the cooling effect of the air conditioner.
