In recent years, with the rapid development of data centers, its huge energy consumption problem is increasingly prominent. Especially, with the development trend of large-scale data center, the load rate of racks is relatively low, which can easily lead to oversupply of cold capacity, thus resulting in energy waste. Hence, how to reasonably arrange servers so as to effectively utilize cooling capacity and improve energy efficiency has become an urgent problem to be solved. In this paper, field test was made to investigate the thermal environment. The test results indicated that the actual load rate of the data room is between 19.34%(similar to)42.55%, and SHI value for test rows were between 0.128 and 0.594 owning to oversupply of CRACs, as a result of serious mixing of cold air and hot air. To reduce the energy consumption, the cooling capacity of CRACs were equal to IT equipment heat dissipation by using simulation tool through changing the load rate, servers' arrangement and air distribution strategy under partial load in data centers. The results showed that the servers uniformly distributed in all racks presented good inlet air temperature that fell in the acceptable temperature range by ASHRAE. And it suggests that the servers are uniformly mounted from the middle of the rack and then the upper for low load rates. When the load rate more than 60%, blanking plates need to be installed.
