At the higher RA temperature, the contained system has very similar operating costs as the non-contained
Fan motors run at full speed but at a reduced CFM and HP due to the higher static pressure
Compressors run at reduced capacity or unloaded but slightly higher than the non-contained

Issues to Consider Fire Detection / Suppression
◦ Wide variation between municipalities◦ If local Fire Inspector involved early, typically goes
well Curtains usually eliminate this issue
Installation◦ Will be site specificy
Irregular row length/height, gaps, etc.◦ Site conditions critical, one size does NOT fit all
![Page 27: 1 Randall Poet A C Systems. Server Load = CRAC Capacity Server Airflow = CRAC Airflow 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0f5503460f94af9319/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Issues To Consider ADA
◦ CAC space is for Service Personnel (Section 4.1.1) What about cooling for components in rest
of room?◦ Best solution today may be ducted return from hot
aisle◦ Perf tiles near other equipment requiring cooling
(eg. UPS) 85⁰ Room temperature?
![Page 28: 1 Randall Poet A C Systems. Server Load = CRAC Capacity Server Airflow = CRAC Airflow 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0f5503460f94af9319/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HAC vs CAC Main Purpose of Cooling in Data Center?
◦ Cool the equipment Data Centers commonly on raised floor
◦ CAC allows current investment to be used HAC typically requires in row cooling
◦ So, refrigerant or chilled water and condensate intermingled with IT equipment and racks
Which aisle does majority of work take place in?◦ CAC hot aisle likely in 85⁰F range
Can use perf tiles in other space◦ HAC hot aisle likely in 100⁰F range

33
Sensor Location• Server centric solution, meaning that it focuses on the inlet
temperature to the servers• Self adapting to environment changes due to server utilization,
equipment location changes and outside variables• Can adapt to situations with no containment, end containment, and
full containment
![Page 34: 1 Randall Poet A C Systems. Server Load = CRAC Capacity Server Airflow = CRAC Airflow 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0f5503460f94af9319/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Rack Sensors• Rack Sensors without doors
can be mounted on the frame of the racks.
• Temperature differences were within .5°F
![Page 35: 1 Randall Poet A C Systems. Server Load = CRAC Capacity Server Airflow = CRAC Airflow 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0f5503460f94af9319/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cold Aisle Sensors• Sensors can also be mounted at the top
of cold aisles when rack mounting is unavailable
![Page 36: 1 Randall Poet A C Systems. Server Load = CRAC Capacity Server Airflow = CRAC Airflow 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0f5503460f94af9319/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Supply Compensation
• Compensation is the magical link between controlling sensors• The controller evaluates the Rack Sensors and Fan Speed• If the fan is operating at 100% and remains above the cold
aisle set point• Then the supply temperature set point will slowly lower to
drive the correct cold aisle temperature
Lower Supply
Fan Speed100%

38
Controller and CRAC Operation• Advanced freeze protection routine
• Allow all units to reduce fan speed to 60%• Fan speed and compressor capacity (or CW valve) managed for
best unit efficiency and performance• Multiple remote sensors
• Controller can use averaged and maximum/minimum values to individually control multiple CRAC systems
• CRAC systems work as a team• All remote sensors used• Increase capacity of other applicable adjacent units if one is at
maximum and unable to handle the load• Automatically adjust for units not in service

Issues to Consider Fire Detection / Suppression
◦ Wide variation between municipalities◦ If local Fire Inspector involved early, typically goes
well Curtain eliminates this issue
Installation◦ Will be a local responsibility◦ You need to develop relationship with local Cable
Contractor or similar company for installation Irregular row length/height
◦ Site Survey critical◦ Most expensive component

Issues To Consider ADA
◦ Consultant raised issue at BAIS project◦ Successfully defended CAC space is for Service
Personnel (Section 4.1.1) What about cooling for components in rest
of room?◦ Best solution today is ducted return from hot aisle◦ perf tile by IT component
85⁰ Room temperature

Issues To Consider Purpose of Cooling in Data Center?
◦ Control equipment inlet temps Data Centers often on raised floor
◦ CAC allows current investment to be used Which aisle does majority of work take place
in?◦ CAC hot aisle likely in 85⁰F range
Could use perf tile in other space◦ HAC hot aisle likely in 100⁰F range

Best practices are a must if improved efficiency is a goal
Running warmer temperatures in the space will improve the cooling system operating efficiency
Containment improves the availability of the servers by eliminating hot spots
Intelligently controlling fan speed and compressor capacity “balances” the system to operate at it’s most efficient level

Summary Efficiency is the story, not containment Containment can be done in several ways,
none necessarily fit all situations Each critical space is unique and merits
individual planning Dynamic Control is (currently )the final
element

EC Axial Fan Technology EC (Electronically Commutated) Motor
◦ Every fan/motor is designed for variable speed. Superior part load efficiency
◦ 3-Phase AC power feed, but efficiency of a DC motor
◦ 20% reduction of fan speed = 49% savings in energy

Sound Level Factors & Options
Sound varies with fan speed Fan speed is proportional to % compressor
load and outdoor ambient temperature◦ Will you ever hear a lightly loaded system
condenser? Even more quiet options
◦ Upsizing condenser will keep fan speed in nearly “inaudible” range!

Why do they cool things with air, anyway??

Why indeed? How about pumped refrigerant?
Refrigerant piping anifold suppliespumped refrigerant
Cam levers activates engagement and disengagement of server
Refrigerant connection points at top of the rack on left side. All plumbing runs along left side.

Cooling Architecture
Each server is cooled by an individual cold plate◦ Cold plates and insertion mechanism is designed for use of standard 1U
servers Circulating refrigerant is the cooling medium

In-Rack Cooling withPumped Refrigerant
The rack is 45U tall by 800mm wide by 1200mm deep.
36 1U server slots with cold plate Three non-cooled server slots for
“cool” devices like switches, etc. Can be configured for a cooling
capacity of 20kW or 40kW.
