Abstract
Systems and methods for managing airflow for cooling computing devices in a data center in normal and cold environments are disclosed. Computing devices are positioned on racks, and an air barrier may be connected to the racks and have openings configured to permit air to be drawn through the computing devices by cooling fans. In a first mode, cool air may be drawn in from a cold aisle, and heated air may be exhausted into a hot aisle. Temperature sensors may periodically measure temperatures for the cool air being drawn into the computing devices. A controller may select a subset of the computing devices for air flow reversal in response to the measured temperatures being below a predetermined threshold. Patterns that may be time-varying and temperature-varying may be used to select the computing devices for air flow reversal and to adjust the fan speed of the computing devices.
