Smart Aisle Cooling  Smart Aisle’s cooling algorithm is a control mode that allows iCOM to

manage air flow and cooling capacity independently.  It is a server centric solution meaning that it focuses on the inlet temperature to the servers  As the environment changes due to server utilization, equipment location changes and outside variables so does the iCOM controller  Adapts from no containment, to end containment, to full containment

– Provided school district officials with an expansion path to support future growth 20


Liebert CRV at Cyber Development, Chicago, IL  Situation:

– Support expansion efforts with an enterprise infrastructure optimized for efficiency and flexibility  Solution: SmartDesign enterprise infrastructure with Liebert CRV  Results:

– Increased efficiency and capacity through enhanced cooling – Achieved typical availability levels in excess of “six-nines” (99.999 percent uptime), resulting in zero unplanned downtime over a 12-month period

– Reduced energy bills though integration of supplemental cooling, cold aisle containment and other innovative cooling strategies

– Maintained a PUE below 1.5, earning the facility the title of “Most Energy Efficient Data Center in the Chicago Metropolitan Area”

21


Liebert CRV at Cyber Development, Chicago, IL “We designed our cooling infrastructure with a ‘tri-density’ approach, meaning that we provide enough cooling capacity to allow our customers to triple their density over the life of their deployment. As a customer increases their density over time, they can leverage supplemental, row-based cooling to efficiently and conveniently accommodate growth without sacrificing the benefits of our 2N infrastructure.” Jack Pressman, chief technology officer, Cyber Development Group International

Do you need a Chiller ? Cooling Tower

 Test by LBNL & Sun proved full capacity with 80 F water

– A wet bulb temperature below 75 F means no chiller required

Types of Economizers Chilled Water Systems

DX – Refrigerant Cooling Systems

 Fluid Economizers

 Glycol System

– Parallel Chiller Tower – Series Chiller Tower – Series Air Cooled

– Drycooler – Cooling Tower  Refrigerant only system – Pumped Refrigerant

● Air Economizers Direct Indirect Evaporative

31


The Issues - Failures Happen  Fluid Economizers

– Water Usage – complexity of valve system and .Controls – Freezing weather – Transient Change over – Capital Cost

 DX Glycol Systems
