 Due to the neglect of the noise pollution of the cooling tower to the surrounding residents in the early stage of the construction of a data center, it is necessary to implement the noise reduction reconstruction project, but the noise reduction will lead to the thermal performance decline of the cooling tower. Through the detailed test and demonstration of the thermodynamic performance of the cooling tower before and after noise reduction, determines the influence of the noise reduction project on the thermal performance of the cooling tower. The effective cooling capacity of the cooling tower after noise reduction is about 0.3% lower than that before noise reduction. It can be seen that after noise reduction, the effective cooling capacity of the data center can be guaranteed. Puts forward some suggestions to ensure the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the cooling tower in the later stage.
