Abstract: A system and method for evaluating equipment in a data center is disclosed, hi one aspect, a method includes receiving parameters for equipment in the data center, the parameters including information descriptive of mass of the equipment, calculating an idealized thermal mass of the equipment based on the received parameters, calculating a temperature associated with the equipment at a first time period of a plurality of time periods based on the idealized thermal mass, and calculating a temperature for each subsequent time period of the plurality of time periods based on the idealized thermal mass and the temperature at a previous time period of the plurality of time periods.

Abstract: A rack airflow monitoring system is configured to measure airflow through an equipment rack having a housing and a perforated front door to enable air to flow into an interior of the housing. The system includes a control module, and a plurality of airflow sensors secured to the front door of the equipment rack and coupled to the control module. Each airflow sensor is configured to detect a parameter used to measure airflow and communicate detected parameters to the control module. The control module is configured to obtain temperature, airflow velocity, and airflow directionality from the plurality of airflow sensors at the front door of the equipment rack.
