Modular Closed Loop Solutions

Features

The Closed Loop architecture offers the ability to achieve up to 36kW per rack of cooling capacity in one specific assembly. This type of architecture can be especially useful when planning to install a few very high density racks into a facility as the racks do not release any heat out into the data center environment. It is also an ideal solution

when limited rack space (for example, in atypical server room of a mid-size company) is required, but the cooling becomes an issue because of high density applications housed there. The Closed Loop architecture is available in modular design, when virtually unlimited number of racks and cooling units can be combined into a closed module. The modular design is fully flexible and accommodates any combinations of cooling units and racks to give the required levels of cooling and redundancy.

  • Typically for heat loads up to 36kW per cabinet
  • 42U to 48U – 600 mm or 800 mm wide cabinets – 1200 mm deep
  • Air separation frames – 200 mm deep
  • Front glass door
  • Solid rear door
  • No raised floor required
  • Double brush grommets for cable entries
  • Blanking panels for all vacant equipment mounting locations in cabinets
  • Monitoring of in cabinet environmental conditions
  • Protection class IP54
  • Solutions is applicable outside the clean Data halls

Applications

The Modular Side Closed Loop architecture is based on side mount cooling units from Targeted Cooling portfolio and RSF racks. Cool air is generated by the side mount cooling unit(s) and delivered into the cold zone at the front part of rack(s) where it is close to the equipment cooling intake. The hot exhaust from the equipment is then removed from the hot zone at the rear part of rack(s) by the side mount cooling unit(s), cooled and delivered back into the cold zone, forming a  closed recycling air loop. This architecture ensures, that heat generated within the cabinet is removed at the point of production and not released into the data center or server room environment, thereby minimizing the chances of localized hot‑spots forming in the high density zones.

The modular architecture is pre-designed for 1200mm deep, 600 or 800mm wide and 42, 45 or 48U high RSF racks and for 1200mm deep, 300mm wide and 42, 45 or 48U high side mount cooling units.The module can consist of virtually unlimited number of RSF racks and cooling units. 6 racks could be understood as a  limit where standard data center layout's  application should be considered. The configuration of the rack differs according to its position in the module – please be aware of it when planning the module. All racks are delivered fully ssembled with needed passive airflow management installed.Both cooling unit versions, chilled water (CW) as well as direct expansion (DX), are available to provide the module with needed cooling power up to 36kW per rack. The module can be easily designed in fully redundant mode.Modular Side Closed Loop can be configured according to needs of any individual customer and can be anytime in the future modified and completed with additional racks and cooling units.
