How To Cool A Data Centre With The Environment In Mind
With the technology advances such as server consolidation and higher processor power, within smaller footprints comes a side effect – heat!
There is a lot of cost involved with adding additional air conditioners and building/remodelling data centres to accommodate for this additional heat - not to mention the effects that this can have on the environment.
Now, solving your data centre thermal dilemma may be as easy as installing a rear door heat exchanger
A rear door heat exchanger may remove up to 50,000 Btu of heat coming out the back of the rack. The thin doors have no moving parts for service and swing wide to help provide unrestricted access. It is very cost effective. The coils filled with above-dew-point, chilled water may passively remove up to 60% of heat generated within the rack.
