10. Compact Power: Axial Fans in Data Center and Electronic Equipment Cooling In the era of hyper-scaled computing, the heat generated by servers, networking gear, and data center components poses a massive thermal management challenge[9][22]. Axial fans are the undisputed champions of electronic equipment cooling, perfectly marrying high-volume airflow with compact size[12][22]. Within server cabinets, computer processors, and various electronic enclosures, miniature axial ac fans are strategically placed to draw cool air directly across heat-sensitive components—such as CPU heatsinks, power supplies, and hard drives—and immediately exhaust the heated air[9]. Their compact, simplistic design allows them to be seamlessly integrated into tight, space-constrained chassis and rack-mounted servers[12]. The cooling strategy in modern data centers relies heavily on these ac fans to create a high-velocity, forced-air convection loop[11].
