Overview of cooling productsused in Data Centres

Computer Room Air Conditioning(CRAC)

8

• Close control units are stillthe main solutions for coolingof data halls.

• They are cooled by either adx condensing unit or by a

chilled water loop. Non Ducted Upflow Upflow Downflow Downflow

• The cost of CRAC units with fans, centralisedventilation/dehumidification system and separate humidifiers makethem one of the most cost effective solutions for a new Data

Centre facility

• Adding Variable Controls and EC Fans will provide the necessaryoption for energy efficiency




Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHE)

9

• Mainly used in areas where the server rackgenerating a lot of heat.

• They are normally cooled by chilled water.

• Some products are fan-assisted, othersuse a passive system, resulting in lowerenergy costs and maintenance.

• DX versions are available – These work onrefrigeration rather than water and use a

condenser rather than chiller system.




In-Between Row Cooling

10

• In –between row cooling, together with rear doorheat exchangers, are known as closed coupledcooling.

• These units are used in areas of high densitycooling requirements and are placed in between or

beside existing IT racks

• Indirect expansion or chilled water models areavailable

• Most units blow cold air sideways onto the

adjoining IT rack. Others blow air directly into theaisle.

• The chilled water versions can provide up to 60kWof cooling.

Direct and Indirect Evaporative cooling

11

• Direct evaporative cooling (open circuit) is used to lower thetemperature of air by using latent heat of evaporation, changingliquid water to water vapour.

• Indirect evaporative cooling (closed circuit) uses outdoor air toreject heat, but the outdoor air never enters the space.

Direct and Indirect Evaporative cooling

12

With the indirect solution there is no mixing of outdoor air with the inside. It removesheat from the data hall return air, rejecting it through an air to air heat exchanger toexternal ambient air.

The main downside of evaporative systems is that they consume water (which can bean issue if supplies are scarce).

Uptime Institute Survey 2013 highlighted that the majority

of costs worldwide fall in the region of $5 mil per 1mW orless, and underlined that larger sites are more inclined tospend more on the additional redundancy and efficiencymeasures coupled with more complex designs.




Modular is an emerging alternative model,but market is still conservative

Modular DC Solutions have sparked interest among different groups ofcompanies: from system integrators and systems manufacturers to colocationproviders and dedicated niche modular DC manufacturers.

3 Types of Modular Data Centres:

1. Outdoor Containers

2. Indoor Modules (Rack/Row level or Modules)

3. Pre-fabricated Flexible Solutions

Trends in the Market:Worldwide rates of planned installations stay at 2012 level, UK market isshowing interest but uptake is slow. Estimated at 2-5% of the total market.While the technologies are evolving and some organisations are attractedby the flexibility of the modular data centre, 2013 saw a negative trend withdeclining interest in prefabricated designs and modulesReliability of modular solutions is seen as one of the most important factorsand many end users would still prefer to wait and see to ensure that thecosts are justified as they are comparable to standard Data Centre

construction costsThe general levels of confidence into the modular data centre market is stillshaky with 61% being only somewhat confidentThe range of players providing solutions for this segment also stretches tosystem integrators and colocation providers themselves entering the marketwith the complete branded package

Deliverables- Trends in Computer Room Air Conditioning

• The main trend in the market place is towards hot and cold aisle

containment- mostly the latter as hot aisle containment with CRAC isexpense.

• Developments in IT cooling equipment will always follow trends inserver development. At present, the trend is towards coolingequipment with higher capacity units, as the servers are generatingmore heat.

• Going forward, the CRAC product is still fit for purpose and the marketis witnessing a lot of retrofit applications. This is now starting tochange with increased activity in the new build sector.

• The table below shows the market by type of cooling by volume.Chilled water will represent the greater share by value, as these willtend to be larger capacity units, typically between 70-100kW coolingcapacity
