System and method for the application of psychrometric charts to data centers

摘要

A system and method of displaying the temperature and relative humidity data of sensors on a psychrometric chart. The system and method operate to display an environmental envelope on the psychrometric chart in order to compare the data of the sensors to the environmental envelope of the psychrometric chart, in order to ensure safe operating conditions for data center equipment.

1. A method for displaying temperature and humidity sensor data provided by a plurality of sensors distributed within a data center at a user interface, comprising the steps of:
a) receiving a data set from each of the plurality of sensors comprising temperature data and location data for the sensor; b) identifying one or more sensor data sets including relative humidity data for the sensor, c) calculating absolute humidity data for the one or more sensor data sets as a function of the temperature data and the relative humidity data; d) identifying at least one sensor data set having no relative humidity data; e) identifying another one of the plurality of sensors as a nearest sensor having absolute humidity data as a function of the location data, d) inserting a copy of the absolute humidity data from the nearest sensor in the data set of the one sensor having no relative humidity data; e) plotting each of said data sets as a data point on a psychrometric chart; and f) transmitting image data for said psychrometric chart to the user interface.
