This design not only ensures uniform temperature distribution in the server rack and eliminates potential local hot spots, but also significantly improves the operational stability of the server, reduces air conditioning cooling loss, and improves the overall heat dissipation uniformity of the rack. Furthermore, the flow rate of the fans and cooling water in the air-wall air conditioning unit can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual heat load in the rack aisles, which can flexibly adapt to different application environments and heat dissipation requirements. It can achieve precise control of server rack temperature. Through internal temperature and humidity sensors and controllers, it can monitor the temperature and humidity environmental parameters inside the rack in real time and automatically adjust the cooling capacity according to the needs, realizing intelligent temperature management, improving heat exchange efficiency, thereby ensuring stable temperature control of the data center rack, and further optimizing the energy-saving performance of the data center rack.

Furthermore, factory prefabrication significantly reduces project time, shortening the construction period by 60% compared to traditional data centers. This solves the problems of long construction cycles, high energy consumption, and poor flexibility associated with traditional data centers, meeting the needs for rapid deployment and low-carbon operation and maintenance.
