Data Center Applications
Patent Protected
Problem Overview
Quick Facts:
- Data centers have always required significant cooling capacity…this is increasing exponentially with higher density data centers (liquid cooling)
- Operational footprint is limited in many cases
- Large Cooling Capacity + Limited Footprint = Elevated Air Temperatures (Air Recirculation)
- Stability and reliability of systems are suffering due to elevated entering air temperatures
- Decreased capacity of existing chillers due to elevated entering air temperatures
- Increased electrical demands in order to meet power requirements for more chillers
Issues Associated with Recirculated Air
Quick Facts::
- Higher operating temperatures: 20 ° F + higher than selected
- Decreased chiller capacity: Up to 30% reduced capacity
- Higher electrical consumption: Up to 20% less efficient
- Larger electrical service: Bigger wire, breakers and generators. Possibly more chillers.
- Unreliable, unstable chiller operation: Nuisance trips, failed components
- Generator Exhaust: Poor placement will lead to higher air temperatures (500 ° F+ exhaust).
- Cobbled fixes applied in the field: Swapping refrigerants, using water (adiabatic), raising chillers up to the sky, etc.
Problem Solution
Our patent-protected integrated system introduces ambient air from beyond the equipment’s reach (outside the area of operational influence) to eliminate recirculation, delivering higher efficiency, greater capacity, and more reliable performance.
Drawing ambient air from outside the data field area of influence, we can introduce raw ambient air to displace recirculated air with increased temperatures
