Thermal Management Solutions .....from APW President
APW President has introduced a new cooling solution ...... the
CoolRack.
This is a fully configured enclosure which embodies a new concept in Thermal
Management - one that is specifically tailored to the requirements of
Datacentres. Organisations setting up datacentres today are faced with
the need to house anywhere between 20 - 40 rack mount servers in a single
cabinet. This equipment density is driven by the enormous cost of creating
the infrastructure demanded at typical managed datacentres, and therefore
the consequent need to minimize the floor space utilized for multiple
cabinets.
Most high power servers being used today generate tremendous amounts of
heat. And although the conventional precision air conditioning systems in use maintain room
temperatures as low as 12-16 degree C, there is not much effective cooling inside the cabinets due
to poor air circulation, or even cross circulation where the warm air from the cabinet outlet gets
mixed with the cool incoming
air from the AC system.
The CoolRack concept
addresses just this anomaly and ensures that your mission critical equipment
not only runs cool but also more reliably as well with an increased MTBF.
Besides, there is a significant saving in
terms of operational energy costs, as well as capital expediture on the AC
plant itself.
