These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:04,703 To provide cooling, an air handler uses chilled water and a control valve 2 00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:05,270 whereas an air conditioner uses refrigerant and a compressor 3 00:00:05,271 --> 00:00:06,572 whereas an air conditioner uses refrigrant and a compressor 4 00:00:06,573 --> 00:00:08,941 whereas an air conditioner uses refrigerant and a compressor 5 00:00:09,275 --> 00:00:13,812 this slide demonstrates the type of hybrid air conditioning system, 6 00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:19,118 with a mixture of a chilled water circuit and a direct expansion system 7 00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:24,423 The air conditioner unit is equipped with two evaporators in a single unit 8 00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:28,627 Under the normal conditions, the chiller system is operating, 9 00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:32,131 supplying cold water to the chilled water circuit 10 00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:36,902 When the chiller system undergoes maintenance or setters a failure, 11 00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:40,339 this cold water is no longer available 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,610 At this moment, the direct expansion system takes over, 13 00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:48,380 to provide the required cooling to the data center 14 00:00:48,615 --> 00:00:51,283 Therefore, the hybrid solution 15 00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:56,321 can minimize the risk of cooling interruption to the computer room 16 00:00:56,322 --> 00:01:00,893 There is a large variety of chiller system types in the market 17 00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:06,398 of which the basic split is between air cooled and water cooled systems 18 00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:10,436 The principle is to have one central chiller plant, 19 00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:13,138 which then fowls the entire building 20 00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:17,342 Redundancy needs to be well planned, with multiple chillers, 21 00:01:17,343 --> 00:01:21,880 including redundancy on the electrical system and piping, 22 00:01:21,881 --> 00:01:26,151 to ensure that the facility is either concurrently maintainable, 23 00:01:26,152 --> 00:01:28,520 as per the Rated 3 requirements, 24 00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:32,257 or fault tolerant in case of Rated 4 25 00:01:32,492 --> 00:01:37,796 Direct and/or indirect air handlers can be used it outdoor temperature 26 00:01:37,797 --> 00:01:42,901 conditions in the location of the data center allow you to do so 27 00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:46,338 Direct air handlers will use the outdoor air, 28 00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:50,042 and channel this directly into the computer room 29 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:55,114 Appropriate filtering of the outdoor air needs to take place, 30 00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:59,651 to avoid potential dust and gas contamination 31 00:01:59,886 --> 00:02:04,656 You also need to consider the humidity levels of the outdoor air, 32 00:02:04,657 --> 00:02:08,927 compared to the desired computer room humility levels 33 00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:12,631 Indirect handlers will use the outdoor air 34 00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:16,668 and channel this to an air to air heat exchanger 35 00:02:16,669 --> 00:02:21,673 the advantage is that the outdoor air will not touch the indoor air, 36 00:02:21,674 --> 00:02:26,245 and hence no additional filtering and/or humidity control 37 00:02:26,246 --> 00:02:28,647 is required in the computer room 38 00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:33,118 In areas where the outdoor temperature conditions are against you 39 00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:37,122 it is possible to use adiabatic cooling of the air 40 00:02:37,123 --> 00:02:39,791 before it goes to the air handlers 41 00:02:40,059 --> 00:02:45,097 There are a number of benefits for direct/indirect air handlers 42 00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:50,736 I he main advantage is the potential tor savings on the cooling of the data center 43 00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:53,372 I ess space is required indexes, 44 00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:58,143 and lower cost of the electrical installation and power consumption 45 00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:03,749 The drawback is that in the case of adiabatic cooling being used, 46 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:07,186 water usage can be high, which in some countries 47 00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,389 may be restricted by local regulations 48 00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:16,495 As with all systems, you also need to consider redundancy for the water supply, 49 00:03:16,496 --> 00:03:20,999 to avoid this trom becoming your single point of failure 50 00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:25,771 Direct air handlers required to be equipped with filters, 51 00:03:25,772 --> 00:03:29,541 which need to he maintained on a regular basis 52 00:03:29,776 --> 00:03:34,646 If outdoor humidity needs to be corrected by indoor units, 53 00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:39,618 this could add additional cost to build, and of course, cost to operate 54 00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:44,990 Another drawback is a possible legionella contamination of the water 55 00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:50,262 therefore, regular testing of the water needs to take place 56 00:03:50,663 --> 00:03:52,264 nP$ 00:06:25,851 ACADEMY 58 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,620 Now that you know all about cooling systems 59 00:06:28,621 --> 00:06:30,055 Now that you know all about cooling systems, 60 00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:33,191 let's have a closer look at cooling principles 61 00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:35,394 looking at air flow guidance, 62 00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:41,767 air conditioners are based on up flow which sometimes is referred to as up throw, 63 00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:46,004 or down flow, sometimes referred to as "down throw 64 00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:48,940 When the principal is based on up flow, 65 00:06:48,941 --> 00:06:51,810 the air conditioner in the data center is pushing 66 00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:55,313 the cold air out from the top of the unit 67 00:06:55,581 --> 00:07:00,051 Cold air will drop, and therefore falls into various rack rows, 68 00:07:00,052 --> 00:07:03,822 and gets sucked into the intake of the equipment 69 00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,725 The difficulty with this principle is 70 00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:13,098 that it is very hard to regulate the amount of cold air tor each area required 71 00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:16,868 therefore, when this principle is applied, 72 00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:21,072 air flow uidance is needed by means of ducting 73 00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:25,310 Another concern with this type of air conditioner unit is, 74 00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:28,513 that the hot air return is commonly located 75 00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:32,517 at the bottom front or bottom back of the air conditioner 76 00:07:32,518 --> 00:07:34,686 Since hot air will rise, 77 00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:39,758 it will be very hard to get this hot air routed back to the air conditioner 78 00:07:40,226 --> 00:07:43,428 When the principal is based on down flow 79 00:07:43,429 --> 00:07:46,331 the air conditioner in the data center is pushing 80 00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:49,267 the cold air out from the bottom of the unit 81 00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:55,140 Doing so, the air flow gets pushed into the raised floor area 82 00:07:55,374 --> 00:07:59,144 I his will result in the pressure being built up under the raised floor 83 00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:02,814 after which the air is pushed into the computer room 84 00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:05,784 via perforated tiles in the floor 85 00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:09,721 I he cold air gets sucked into the intake of the equipment, 86 00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:13,458 and hot air will be expelled from the back of the rack 87 00:08:13,459 --> 00:08:16,962 Hot air will rise, and through the ceiling return, 88 00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:22,000 it is routed back to the top of the air conditioner, the hot air return path 89 00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,369 lookmg at the image on the slide 90 00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:30,008 the principle of up flow can be applied with or without a raised floor present, 91 00:08:30,276 --> 00:08:33,211 but when the principle of down flow is applied, 92 00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:39,050 you must have a raised floor installed, otherwise it will not work 93 00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:45,123 There are debates going on whether or not to use a raised floor 94 00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:49,694 There is no perfect answer to that as what is the best 95 00:08:49,962 --> 00:08:53,365 since it is very much depending on many factors, 96 00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:56,568 such as the type of equipment being deployed, 97 00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:59,271 the height that you have available in the room, 98 00:08:59,272 --> 00:09:04,309 cooling capacity and flexibility required, and so on and so on 99 00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:10,415 Since most of the equipment is now working on a front to rear principle, 100 00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:13,852 there is a trend that more and more data centers 101 00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:17,889 are moving towards a set up without a raised floor 102 00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:22,360 In the following units, we will have a closer look at the properties 103 00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:26,665 for botti raised floor and non raised floor cooling 104 00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:30,001 wRe LMAHI ^Kg^ IBc^fac?^ ?h? coft^wfl Wot uju^kp^^wh w^k^W (pfa2?^2 105 00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:52,991 Raised floors are still used for many computer rooms, 106 00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:57,762 but data centers without a raised floor are more and more deployed 107 00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:03,368 Data centers with a raised floor do provide a high level of flexibility, 108 00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:06,004 to provide cooling as and where it is needed, 109 00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:11,109 as it is a matter of placing perforated floorboards where they are required 110 00:10:11,577 --> 00:10:14,779 By changing the type of perforated floorboard, 111 00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:20,352 it is possible to change the cooling capacity where you have such need present 112 00:10:20,886 --> 00:10:24,589 Cooling through a raised floor has limitations, 113 00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:28,293 in terms of how much cooling capacity it can provide, 114 00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:32,564 and it is relatively costly to install and maintain 115 00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:36,568 In addition, it also otten providos a limitation 116 00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:40,305 loading capabilities 117 00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:44,809 T he raised floor is making use of down flow air conditioners, 118 00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:47,712 pushing cold air under the floor 119 00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:52,017 this will create pressure, and having perforated floor tiles 120 00:10:52,018 --> 00:10:57,889 allows the air pressure to escape into the computer room void itself 121 00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:03,728 Since cold air needs to be available at the intake of the equipment, 122 00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:08,233 perforated floor tiles can be found in the front of the rack 123 00:11:08,534 --> 00:11:14,439 the internal fans suck the cold air into the intake of the ICT systems, 124 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,075 releasing hot air at the back 125 00:11:17,309 --> 00:11:20,512 The hot air will rise automatically, 126 00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:25,316 and will flow back to the air conditioner either via the suspended ceiling, 127 00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:28,219 or via the room void itself 128 00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:34,826 This image demonstrates the traditional raised tloor in a classroom setup 129 00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:40,999 This setup leads to various issues, since the hot air of one rack 130 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,203 is thrown into the intake of the equipment of the next rack 131 00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:49,274 This results in the hot air being mixed with the cold air 132 00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:51,643 that comes from underneath the raised floor, 133 00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:55,113 and will load to higher intake temperatures 134 00:11:55,347 --> 00:12:02,520 this set up is outdated, and it is not recommended tor current data center 135 00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:06,257 A more appropriate set up is what is often 136 00:12:06,258 --> 00:12:10,228 referred to as the hot and the cold aisle set up 137 00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:15,567 The racks placed facing front to front and back to back 138 00:12:15,801 --> 00:12:21,473 It moans that there is a better separation between the hot and the cold air areas 139 00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:23,842 loading to better efficiency 140 00:12:24,143 --> 00:12:30,782 There is, however, still some issue of hot and cold air mixing throughout the room 141 00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:36,821 In order to create a better separation between the hot and cold aisles, 142 00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:41,159 is to guide the hot air to the intake of the air conditioner 143 00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:45,163 this can be done using a hot air return duct, 144 00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:49,901 or a suspended ceiling, such as can be seen in this image 145 00:12:50,202 --> 00:12:55,273 Both solutions will assist in routing back the hot air to the air conditioner 146 00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:58,910 such that mixing of hot and cold air is minimised, 147 00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:04,783 and therefore, optimising both cooling effectiveness and efficiency 148 00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:07,285 nR 00:13:23,568 Let's have a look at how to make the most of cooling 150 00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:25,937 based on the down flow principle 151 00:13:26,205 --> 00:13:29,741 In order to make the hot and cold aisle principle work, 152 00:13:30,009 --> 00:13:35,280 make sure that the air conditioners are placed at the right locations 153 00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:39,517 Air conditioners should be placed perpendicular to the hot aisles 154 00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:41,953 as can be seen in this image 155 00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:47,258 This set up will ensure that the hot air from the back of the racks 156 00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:51,462 is returnin to the air conditioner in the shortest path possible 157 00:13:51,764 --> 00:13:56,267 The other advantage is that the cold air leaving the air conditioner 158 00:13:56,602 --> 00:14:01,606 is flowing underneath the hot aisle here no erforated tiles exist 159 00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:07,145 This results in a more equalised air ressure within the cold aisle area, 160 00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:12,250 and therefore a more equalised cooling capacity within each rack 161 00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:15,453 Having a raised floor will result in having more 162 00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:18,656 air supply volume at he bottom of the racks 163 00:14:18,891 --> 00:14:22,861 For this reason ou wish to place the highest heat loads 164 00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:25,230 in the lower part of the rack 165 00:14:25,564 --> 00:14:29,267 1 oss volume of air is present in the top of the rack, 166 00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:31,636 and therefore less cooling capacity, 167 00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:37,508 so this is the part of the rack where, ideally, you place the lower heal loads 168 00:14:37,743 --> 00:14:39,577 When using a raised floor, 169 00:14:39,578 --> 00:14:44,916 you need to make sure that cold air is only going where it is supposed to go, 170 00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:49,921 which is the area where cold air is required in the front of the rack 171 00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:55,293 All other openings in the raised floor are considered to be leakage 172 00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:57,662 and therefore needs to be closed 173 00:14:57,963 --> 00:15:01,699 The most common leakage rea is the cable ent coming 174 00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,136 from under the raised floor into the back of the rack 175 00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:10,141 You should close these cable entries in the back of the rack, 176 00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:13,912 and there are multiple options available in doing so 177 00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:18,149 You also need to avoid air leakage within the racks 178 00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:22,120 Hot air is always attracted to cold air areas, 179 00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:24,555 hence the hot air at the back of the rack 180 00:15:24,823 --> 00:15:27,458 is travelling back to the front of the rack 181 00:15:27,726 --> 00:15:30,361 This will lead to inefficiencies, 182 00:15:30,362 --> 00:15:34,899 and hence, you need to block the hot air from the back travelling to the front 183 00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:37,835 which can bo done by installin blankin panels, 184 00:15:37,836 --> 00:15:41,272 which arc also referred to as blind panels 185 00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:46,077 Cooling of equipment requires the temperature and humidity 186 00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:50,081 to be within the values recommended by ASHRAE 187 00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:55,687 In addition to this, you need to make sure that enough air volume is available 188 00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:59,657 to flow through the ICT equipmerit within the rack 189 00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,696 Air volume displacement is often expressed in multiple units, 190 00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:09,467 such as CFM, which is short for "Cubic Feet per Minute", 191 00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:14,772 or CMH, which is short for "Cubic Meter per hour" 192 00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:20,611 Each ICT system will suck a certain amount of air volume through, 193 00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:24,382 in order to achieve the cooling capacity required 194 00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:28,886 the air volume corning out of he raised floor should at least match 195 00:16:28,887 --> 00:16:32,857 the total required by all equipment within the rack 196 00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:37,395 The shortage of air volume will result in cooling issues, 197 00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:41,632 which is one of the most common issues for cooling in computer rooms 198 00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:46,371 Therefore, be aware that when you have cooling issues, 199 00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:49,307 it is most likely not because of the temperature 200 00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:51,976 and humidity settings on the air conditioner, 201 00:16:52,244 --> 00:16:58,349 but a shortage of air volume instead so this is what ou need to verify first 202 00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:03,187 Air flow can be measured with devices like a flow hood, 203 00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:06,591 can be seen on this slide 204 00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:10,361 When performing measurements using a flow hood, 205 00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:13,531 make sure that there are no tiles taken out ot the floor, 206 00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:16,968 since that will influence the measured values 207 00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:22,273 Also, if you make use of an air conditioner rotation system, 208 00:17:22,274 --> 00:17:25,243 you may wish to measure over multiple days, 209 00:17:25,244 --> 00:17:30,281 to record all the values tor each rotation schedule that you are using 210 00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:33,451 Do not place too many perforated tiles, 211 00:17:33,452 --> 00:17:38,256 since it will limit the air volume needed to cool the IT equipment 212 00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:42,827 Too many openings in the raised floor will ultimately lead 213 00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:45,730 to a too low static pressure of air 214 00:17:46,265 --> 00:17:49,200 Understand that cold air needs to be delivered 215 00:17:49,201 --> 00:17:52,103 only at the intake of the equipment 216 00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:56,074 Heat load coming out of the equipment is at the back of the rack 217 00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:59,777 and this heat load needs to be extracted from the computer room 218 00:18:00,345 --> 00:18:03,514 this is the exact reason why computer room set-ups 219 00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:06,717 are based on the cold/hot aisle principle 220 00:18:07,052 --> 00:18:11,522 So, place perforated tiles only in the front of the rack, 221 00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:14,158 and where equipment is installed 222 00:18:14,159 --> 00:18:17,361 If possible use return air ducts, 223 00:18:17,362 --> 00:18:21,399 for the hot air to be moved out of the room as fast as possible, 224 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,302 because this will avoid heat load problems, 225 00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:28,840 and will at the same time improve he efficiency of our cooling cycle 226 00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:34,412 High powered equipment requires more cold air than low powered equipment, 227 00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:38,916 and because of this it is preferred to install the high powered equipment 228 00:18:38,917 --> 00:18:41,352 in the lower part of the rack 229 00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:45,523 finally, looking at the physical position of the air conditioners, 230 00:18:45,524 --> 00:18:49,260 which can only throw air at a certain distance 231 00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:51,929 The distance capability normally depends 232 00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:55,366 on the capacity of the air conditioner itself 233 00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:59,370 For the capacity ratings commonly found in a data center, 234 00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:03,107 you can expect approximately 12-18 meters 235 00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,511 which is equivalent to 40-60 feet 236 00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:09,480 Where long rack rows are deployed, 237 00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:14,285 it may be required to have air conditioners at both sides of the aisle 238 00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:16,521 n^tf(?i^ GJfCto£ 239 00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:35,940 For a non-raised floor set up to work very well, 240 00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:41,212 all equipment should be based on the front to rear type air flow principle 241 00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:43,648 In a non raised floor set up, 242 00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:47,618 racks are placed directly on the concrete floor or slab, 243 00:19:47,619 --> 00:19:50,755 which has been treated with a proper paint coating, 244 00:19:50,756 --> 00:19:53,991 to avoid contamination from the building slab 245 00:19:53,992 --> 00:19:57,495 Placing racks directly onto the building floor 246 00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,631 will remove investment costs for the raised floor structure, 247 00:20:00,899 --> 00:20:06,737 and it commonly creates an easier way of handling the fairly heavy equipment loads 248 00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:09,674 Furthermore, since there is no raised floor, 249 00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:12,877 you no longer need to worry about cleaning underneath 250 00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:17,682 Also, it will force you to run all cabling overhead, 251 00:20:17,683 --> 00:20:22,486 although some data centres till refer a ve low raised floor, 252 00:20:22,487 --> 00:20:24,889 for the purpose of cabling only 253 00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:30,394 In that case, the raised floor is no longer used for the purpose of cooling 254 00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:34,432 Without the raised floor, you need to provide cold air 255 00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:38,169 directly to the racks from the side or the top 256 00:20:38,437 --> 00:20:41,372 In-row cooling is based on the principle 257 00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:44,575 of having the air conditioner in between the racks 258 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:49,647 Having air conditioner equipment close to the ICT equipment 259 00:20:49,648 --> 00:20:53,050 will assist in cooling efficiency improvements 260 00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:57,588 Placing cooling equipment inside computer rack rows 261 00:20:57,589 --> 00:21:02,393 will however, result in less equipment racks to be installed 262 00:21:02,661 --> 00:21:06,897 Also, not every data center is keen on installing 263 00:21:06,898 --> 00:21:10,401 cooling equipment close to the ICT systems, 264 00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:13,804 knowing that the maintenance for the cooling systems 265 00:21:13,805 --> 00:21:17,241 is commonly performed by third party vendors 266 00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:23,681 Some in row units are based on water and although water is a very good coolant, 267 00:21:23,882 --> 00:21:28,185 any water leakage may cause damage to the data center, 268 00:21:28,186 --> 00:21:31,889 and if water gets in contact with the electrical infrastructure, 269 00:21:32,157 --> 00:21:35,593 there is a higher risk of equipment unavailability 270 00:21:36,094 --> 00:21:39,897 Obviously, water is not the only option 271 00:21:39,898 --> 00:21:43,834 In row units are also based on refrigerant 272 00:21:44,102 --> 00:21:48,639 Non raised floor environments can also be cooled 273 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,110 using cold and hot air ducts placed in the computer room 274 00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:57,682 I ho cold air ducts are positioned in the front of the racks, 275 00:21:57,683 --> 00:22:03,821 and cold air will fall down and will gel sucked into the intake of the equipment 276 00:22:04,089 --> 00:22:08,025 At the back of the rack the hot air will exhaust, 277 00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:12,296 through the hot air ducts 278 00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:17,868 It is important that the power and network cabling are over the rack rows, 279 00:22:17,869 --> 00:22:20,805 so that the do not hinder the air flow 280 00:22:20,806 --> 00:22:24,542 It is common for the ducts to have vents installed, 281 00:22:24,543 --> 00:22:28,012 so to be able to regulate the air volume, 282 00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:32,016 based on the Cubic Feet per Minute requirements of the rack 283 00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:34,685 The ducts need to be properly designed, 284 00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:38,956 so that it can carry the volume capacity requirement 285 00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:43,427 In addition, you need to review the redundancy requirements, 286 00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:47,431 so that it an air conditioner tails or requires maintenance, 287 00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:50,868 the ICT equipment will not be impacted 288 00:22:51,136 --> 00:22:57,241 Do not paint the ducts, as overtime the paint will dry out and splinter oil 289 00:22:57,242 --> 00:23:03,681 leading to particles floating around ending up inside the ICT equipment 290 00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:07,685 Proper maintenance of the ducts must be performed, 291 00:23:07,686 --> 00:23:11,122 this includes regular inspections and cleaning 292 00:23:11,423 --> 00:23:15,326 Doing so, reaise that involves overhead works, 293 00:23:15,327 --> 00:23:19,897 and therefore, safety practices must apply at all times 294 00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:26,270 A relative new concept is the wall flow, also referred to as a fan wall system 295 00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:29,440 I his concept is more or less similar to the set up 296 00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:32,343 having CRAH systems in the service corridor, 297 00:23:32,344 --> 00:23:36,914 with the difference that this concept does not require a raised floor, 298 00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:39,517 since the air is now coming from a large 299 00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:42,753 service area in the wall of the computer room 300 00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:48,359 To avoid mixing of cold and hot air using the duct based system, 301 00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,194 you need to make sure that the hot air 302 00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:53,464 is properly channelled back to the service corridor 303 00:23:53,465 --> 00:23:56,567 This can be a hot aisle containment system, 304 00:23:56,568 --> 00:23:59,837 with a direct air duct back to the service corridor, 305 00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:02,440 or by means of the suspended ceiling 306 00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:07,011  a suspended ceiling is available 307 00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:09,647 nR 00:24:34,605 ACADEMY 309 00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:35,573 In some cases, air cooling need to be forced because the normal 310 00:24:35,574 --> 00:24:39,510 In some cases air cooling need to be forced because the normal 311 00:24:39,511 --> 00:24:43,981 cooling system is not able to deliver enough volume ot air 312 00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:48,252 One of the systems that can be used is the cool air ducting system 313 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,422 There are some limitations to this system 314 00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:54,859 it is a single point of failure, the device creates noise, 315 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,528 and it emits a low level of EMF, 316 00:24:57,529 --> 00:25:01,532 so some distance between the unit and IC I equipment 317 00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:04,435 needs to be taken into consideration 318 00:25:04,703 --> 00:25:10,541 Cool air ducting systems tit under a perforated tile or a high flow rate tile 319 00:25:10,542 --> 00:25:13,777 and can be placed in front of a mesh door rack 320 00:25:13,979 --> 00:25:16,647 The air flow should not be too fast, 321 00:25:16,648 --> 00:25:22,286 as then it would potentially limit the amount ot air the server is able to draw in 322 00:25:22,787 --> 00:25:28,859 Also, make sure that the tans are not sucking air volume away from other racks 323 00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:33,430 Scavenging the hot xhaust air is an approach 324 00:25:33,665 --> 00:25:36,066 to handle increased ower density 325 00:25:36,334 --> 00:25:38,202 I he principle is simple, 326 00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:43,607 if you are able to collect all the hot exhaust air and make it go away, 327 00:25:43,608 --> 00:25:45,910 it will not create any hotspots, 328 00:25:45,911 --> 00:25:49,647 and the equipment is always getting cool air horn the air conditioner 329 00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:52,816 I his system goes up to Z kilowatt per rack, 330 00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:56,053 and is available for snap on retrofit 331 00:25:56,321 --> 00:26:00,524 Depending on the system, variable speed may be available 332 00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:03,727 Do realise the system is focusing on 333 00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:07,765 extracting heat load from the back ot the rack 334 00:26:07,999 --> 00:26:14,371 In other words, it will not create more cold air volume at the front of the rack 335 00:26:14,372 --> 00:26:18,909 You still need to supply a sufficient volume of air 336 00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:21,612 for the equipment to be properly cooled 337 00:26:22,113 --> 00:26:26,617 Another option to consider is the use of in row cooling systems, 338 00:26:26,618 --> 00:26:30,588 which can be placed in between the equipment racks 339 00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:35,392 The benefit of in row units is the relative short delivery path 340 00:26:35,393 --> 00:26:39,597 for cold air to be delivered and the hot air to be returned, 341 00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:43,634 and this will increase the efficiency on the air flow management 342 00:26:44,169 --> 00:26:48,372 In row units can be combined with under the tloor cooling, 343 00:26:48,373 --> 00:26:52,910 for areas where high or higher cooling capacity requirement exists 344 00:26:52,911 --> 00:26:55,312 for which the under the floor cooling 345 00:26:55,313 --> 00:26:59,016 can no longer deliver sufficient cooling capacity 346 00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:01,185 Depending on the in row unit, 347 00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:04,588 the flow can be thrown forward or sideways 348 00:27:04,589 --> 00:27:10,728 I ho units which throw sideways can also be deployed in non contained areas 349 00:27:10,729 --> 00:27:13,864 whore the ones that throw the air forward 350 00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:18,402 are more suitable to be deployed in contained aisle concepts 351 00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:22,673 I he downside is that these units can be quite noisy, 352 00:27:22,674 --> 00:27:26,410 and some of the models are based on chilled water supply, 353 00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:29,346 which means that water will be in the computer room, 354 00:27:29,347 --> 00:27:32,516 and it poses a certain risk factor 355 00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:36,787 Rear door heat exchangers are cooling modules 356 00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:39,423 which are placed at the hack of the rack 357 00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:43,193 work in a simiar way as radiators in cars 358 00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:47,164 I he hot air at the back ot the rack will go through the door, 359 00:27:47,165 --> 00:27:52,770 which therefore pre cools the hot air before it enters the computer room area 360 00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:56,740 I his is a solution which allows high density racks 361 00:27:56,741 --> 00:28:00,477 to bo placed into a low density computer room 362 00:28:00,745 --> 00:28:05,749 Very often this solution is based on chilled water supply 363 00:28:06,051 --> 00:28:09,186 With this, again, there is a certain risk involved, 364 00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:14,758 and therefore, it is recommended to install a water leak detection system 365 00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:18,495 In some cases, heat loads are so high 366 00:28:18,763 --> 00:28:21,932 that the racks demands a built in cooling system 367 00:28:22,233 --> 00:28:27,004 A self contained air conditioner system is a full enclosure, 368 00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:29,707 and this may result in potential problems 369 00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:33,677 since there is not a lot ot redundancy present 370 00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:36,080 Vendors claim redundancy, 371 00:28:36,081 --> 00:28:40,551 but this is sometimes at the expense? of reduced cooling capacity 372 00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,220 at the time of a failure occurring 373 00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:48,025 If the cooling system in the rack fails, it will heat up very fast 374 00:28:48,026 --> 00:28:52,796 and equipment failure will appear within a few minutes only 375 00:28:53,098 --> 00:28:58,402 these units can be placed in any location, as it is a self cooling rack 376 00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:03,974 and it is therefore not reliant on other cooling systems in the computer room 377 00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:07,745 these racks are able to cool high heat loads 378 00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:11,181 up to 35 kilowatt in the rack 379 00:29:11,182 --> 00:29:15,152 Self contained racks are available in a number of options, 380 00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:18,355 looking at the coolant being used 381 00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,825 Each option has benefits and drawbacks 382 00:29:21,826 --> 00:29:26,363 Focusing only on the safety for humans and the equipment involved 383 00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:30,334 this slide provides the information for each option 384 00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:31,802 R 00:30:08,038 ACADEMY 386 00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,342 Liquid immersion cooling is a cooling practice 387 00:30:12,343 --> 00:30:15,479 by which IT component and other electronics, 388 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,682 including complete service and storage devices, 389 00:30:18,683 --> 00:30:23,220 are submerged in a thermally conductive dielectric liquid or coolant 390 00:30:23,454 --> 00:30:28,258 In doing so, it cools as effectively as 1200 cubic feet of air, 391 00:30:28,259 --> 00:30:31,962 and requires significantly less energy input 392 00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:37,868 Immersion cooling can handle compute densities exceeding 10kW per bath or unit, 393 00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:41,839 which is 10 to 20 times higher than the per rack footprint 394 00:30:42,106 --> 00:30:46,076 By eliminating the need for cooling fans within each server, 395 00:30:46,077 --> 00:30:48,712 and air conditioning equipment for the computer room, 396 00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:52,149 savings up to 40% can be achieved, 397 00:30:52,150 --> 00:30:56,186 significantly reduce 398 00:30:56,421 --> 00:31:00,190 Now that we have the technical complex details out ot the way, 399 00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:03,894 let's look at the practical side of this solution 400 00:31:04,128 --> 00:31:06,263 As with every solution, 401 00:31:06,264 --> 00:31:11,902 some drawbacks can be identified using liquid immersion cooling 402 00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:18,542 It requires modified IT equipment that can operate in a submerged environment, 403 00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:22,212 which means no fans or hard disk drives 404 00:31:22,213 --> 00:31:26,216 Also, when servicing or maintenance is needed, 405 00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:32,556 this system requires work spaces that are capable ot containing drips and spills 406 00:31:33,124 --> 00:31:38,729 In terms of investment, liquid immersion cooling has a higher initial cost, 407 00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:41,665 compared to traditional cooling 408 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,467 How doos it work? 409 00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,970 With single phase immersion cooling, 410 00:31:46,971 --> 00:31:52,042 the coolant remains in a liquid form and is pumped to a heat exchanger, 411 00:31:52,043 --> 00:31:55,746 where the heat is transferred to a cool water circuit 412 00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:58,682 I he cooling baths have an open top 413 00:31:58,683 --> 00:32:01,852 as there is little risk of the coolant evaporating 414 00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:03,720 the good news is, 415 00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:09,026 a single phase coolant does not boil or undergo a phase change 416 00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:12,262 at anytime during the cooling process 417 00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:20,170 This eliminates pressure, fumes, vapours and corrosion due to microcavitation. 418 00:32:20,171 --> 00:32:24,708 created by a coolant’s state transition from liquid to gas 419 00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:30,347 Apart from reducing the risk of IT and cooling systems breakdown 420 00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:32,449 as a result of micro cavitation, 421 00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:36,453 it is also important from a health and safety perspective, 422 00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:40,991 since it means it is not possible to inhale coolants, 423 00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:44,661 they cannot re condense and remain in the lungs, 424 00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:48,665 or form a "toxic dew" throughout the workplace 425 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,102 two phase immersion cooling 426 00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:56,907 This system takes advantage of a concept known as latent heat, 427 00:32:56,908 --> 00:33:03,547 which is the heat or thermal energy that required to change the phase ot a fluid 428 00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:06,483 this occurs whon the two phase coolant comes 429 00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:09,386 in contact with the floated electronics in the bath 430 00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:12,356 that are above the coolant’s boiling point 431 00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:17,127 Two phase immersion cooling has a greater heat rejection capacity 432 00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:22,499 due to the energy transferred from the IT systems into the two phase coolant 433 00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:27,004 that will cause a portion of it to boil off into a gas 434 00:33:27,238 --> 00:33:31,775 Purpose designed cooling liquid is required with a low boiling point 435 00:33:32,043 --> 00:33:37,114 At 56 degrees Celsius or 133 degrees Fahrenheit, 436 00:33:37,115 --> 00:33:43,687 versus 100 degrees Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit in water, 437 00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:48,291 the fluid boils on the surface of heat generating components, 438 00:33:48,292 --> 00:33:53,263 and rising vapour passively takes care of the heat transter 439 00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:59,970 The not so good news is, boiling action of the coolant creates micro cavitation, 440 00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:04,174 which actually erodes the heated metals in the IT systems, 441 00:34:04,509 --> 00:34:09,279 destroying it and contaminating the coolant with metallic particles, 442 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,381 making the coolant conductive 443 00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:15,085 Cavitation consists of the formation, 444 00:34:15,086 --> 00:34:19,122 growth and rapid collapse of cavities in a liquid. 445 00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:23,093 These vapour cavities, or in simple term bubbles, 446 00:34:23,094 --> 00:34:28,932 are formed whenever fluid pressure falls below the vapour pressure of the liquid 447 00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:34,271 These bubbles collapse if the pressure again rises above the vapour pressure 448 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,541 wR 00:35:01,298 A C A 0 E H V 450 00:35:02,166 --> 00:35:04,835 Another option is aisle containment 451 00:35:04,836 --> 00:35:08,004 Containment solutions are getting more and more popular 452 00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:11,408 since they could lead to efficiency improvements 453 00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:14,878 the principle of air containment is to have total 454 00:35:14,879 --> 00:35:19,182 separation between the hot and the cold air airflows 455 00:35:19,183 --> 00:35:22,052 This can be done by containing the hot air, 456 00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:27,090 the cold air, or in some cases both areas are contained 457 00:35:27,658 --> 00:35:32,195 Containment can be implemented with or without the raised floor, 458 00:35:32,196 --> 00:35:34,865 let's have a look at some details 459 00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:39,369 On the previous slides, a raised floor could be identified, 460 00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:44,374 and on this slide an example of hot aisle and cold aisle containment 461 00:35:44,375 --> 00:35:46,543 without a raised floor 462 00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:50,280 Again, the principle is to have a total separation 463 00:35:50,281 --> 00:35:53,416 between the hot and the cold air airflows 464 00:35:53,951 --> 00:35:58,488 In this example, in row cooling units are being deployed, 465 00:35:58,489 --> 00:36:02,459 to provide the cooling tor the ICT equipment 466 00:36:02,727 --> 00:36:08,098 Apart from exploring which solution is the best fit for your data center 467 00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:11,568 there is another important onsideration to look into, 468 00:36:11,569 --> 00:36:16,606 which is the potential impact on fire detection and suppression systems 469 00:36:17,141 --> 00:36:20,577 A potential downside of containment is that you 470 00:36:20,578 --> 00:36:24,014 are effectively building a room within a room, 471 00:36:24,015 --> 00:36:29,853 which forces you to rethink your existing fire detection and suppression systems 472 00:36:30,154 --> 00:36:35,458 Also, before you make any decisions approving investment plans, 473 00:36:35,459 --> 00:36:39,162 you often need to verify with the local authorities 474 00:36:39,163 --> 00:36:42,599 on what is allowed and/or required 475 00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:48,505 There are various scenarios to work around the fire suppression challenges, 476 00:36:48,506 --> 00:36:52,475 let's have a look on the details n the following slides 477 00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:56,446 Who says you must do a full enclosure? 478 00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:59,649 partial containment, 479 00:36:59,650 --> 00:37:03,887 which means that you create an overhang on the top of the rack row, 480 00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:06,790 as can be seen on this particular slide 481 00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:11,361 This will allow for most hot and cold air to be separated, 482 00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:13,997 and having an opening at the top of the rack, 483 00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:19,536 there are no changes required for the existing tire suppression system 484 00:37:19,837 --> 00:37:24,908 Another option is to use a retractable roof system 485 00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:31,281 Under normal operating conditions this system will provide a full enclosure 486 00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:36,086 The roof is put over the rack row and fixed with a magnetic lock 487 00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:38,488 that is connected to the tire panel 488 00:37:38,489 --> 00:37:44,094 Once the suppression system is activated and the gas will discharge soon, 489 00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:49,099 the fire panel will release the lock and the roof automatically retracts 490 00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:53,370 This is done mechanically, so no power is required 491 00:37:53,371 --> 00:37:56,806 Another option is to bring the fire su ression nozzles 492 00:37:56,807 --> 00:38:00,277 and sprinklers within the contained area 493 00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:02,679 This is technically possible, 494 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:08,218 but it would require a substantial amount of modification to an existing data center, 495 00:38:08,219 --> 00:38:11,388 which could be intrusive and very expensive 496 00:38:11,689 --> 00:38:14,090 I ven for new computer rooms, 497 00:38:14,091 --> 00:38:19,129 it would be quite an expensive option and hence this is hardly used 498 00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:21,698 * hi t*t r 11 d All P qI<\ Pr '.rr^cd P‘< (f 00:38:50,026 So which typo of containment option is the best? 500 00:38:50,027 --> 00:38:55,065 I here are various views as to what is potentially the best solution 501 00:38:55,299 --> 00:38:59,102 As usual, there is no best for every situation. 502 00:38:59,103 --> 00:39:03,039 and you need to look at the requirements and set up of the computer room 503 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,175 before you make a decision 504 00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:10,180 Ultimately, both solutions have the same goal and principle, 505 00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:14,551 separate the hot and the cold air 506 00:39:14,785 --> 00:39:17,721 Cold aisle containment has the advantage that 507 00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:20,924 the cold air only goes where it needs to be, 508 00:39:20,925 --> 00:39:25,495 which is in front of the equipment, where the intake is present 509 00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:29,733 You can calculate the volume required for the cold aisle 510 00:39:29,734 --> 00:39:32,902 by reviewing the Cubic Feet per Minute requirements 511 00:39:32,903 --> 00:39:36,606 for all the equipment inside the contained area 512 00:39:36,607 --> 00:39:42,212 In addition, you can also calculate the number ot perforated tiles required 513 00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:46,182 to bring that volume of air into the contained area 514 00:39:46,450 --> 00:39:50,487 Cold aisle containment is commonly a good idea 515 00:39:50,488 --> 00:39:53,957 if you want to contain every aisle in the computer room 516 00:39:54,191 --> 00:40:00,029 Since the volume of cold air is matching the requirement of the equipment in the aisle, 517 00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:03,733 you need to make sure that a failure on an air conditioner 518 00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:07,437 is not creating a shortage of air flow 519 00:40:07,738 --> 00:40:12,542 It would be best, therefore, to create a slight overpressure, 520 00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:15,712 so to cater for air flow variances 521 00:40:16,013 --> 00:40:19,682 This since in toda s ICT equipment 522 00:40:19,683 --> 00:40:23,953 the fan speed is relative to the heat inside the equipment, 523 00:40:23,954 --> 00:40:28,458 and hence the CFM requirement is not always constant 524 00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:32,796 Ideally, you measure the pressure in the aisle, 525 00:40:32,797 --> 00:40:35,632 and when the overpressure drops too low 526 00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:38,568 a sensor connected to the air conditioners 527 00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:42,105 will result in an increase of the fan its speed, 528 00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:44,741 providing more cold air 529 00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:51,114 When hot aisle containment is applied, the hot air separates from the cold air, 530 00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:55,585 this allows for the hot air to be guided back directly to the air conditioners 531 00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:58,288 or is exhausted out of the building, 532 00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:01,458 depending on the cooling principles that you have 533 00:41:01,692 --> 00:41:08,298 In this set up, cold air will be present throughout the entire computer room 534 00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:13,670 Hot aisle containment is commonly deployed when in a large computer room 535 00:41:13,671 --> 00:41:17,106 you have a few racks with a high heat load 536 00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:20,343 By containing the hot air for this section, 537 00:41:20,578 --> 00:41:24,581 the hi h heat load will not add to the overall computer room 538 00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:28,518 Now cold air is flowing through the entire room, 539 00:41:28,786 --> 00:41:32,522 which at first goes against the principles of cooling, 540 00:41:32,523 --> 00:41:38,361 since you don't wish to cool the room, you want to cool the equipment 541 00:41:38,629 --> 00:41:45,268 The good part, however, is that the entire room acts as a cold air butter /one 542 00:41:45,269 --> 00:41:50,907 So if your air conditioner equipment fails and you do not have proper redundancy, 543 00:41:50,908 --> 00:41:55,645 you would still be able to potentially handle a temporary failure 544 00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:59,082 In-row cooling units is often a very good 545 00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:02,886 option to be used in hot aisle contained areas 546 00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:06,022 Something that you need to consider is that 547 00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:09,792 hot aisles can potentially be very noisy and hot, 548 00:42:09,793 --> 00:42:13,463 and this may force you to review local regulations, 549 00:42:13,464 --> 00:42:17,267 to ensure that you are not violating any rules, 550 00:42:17,268 --> 00:42:20,904 for staff to be allowed working in this type of environment 551 00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:24,407 wR 00:42:42,392 ACADEMY 553 00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:46,629 The concept of thermal storage is the one whereby 554 00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:50,600 energy is supplied to a storage system for removal, 555 00:42:50,601 --> 00:42:53,803 • :• • : *. : • : i a later point in time 556 00:42:53,804 --> 00:42:59,442 Thermal energy in the form of heat or cold can be effectively stored 557 00:42:59,443 --> 00:43:04,447 and used to offset the required cooling and/or heating demand in buildings, 558 00:43:04,448 --> 00:43:09,252 and of course data centers, using seasonal thermal energy storage, 559 00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:12,455 or Sell S as it is shortly known 560 00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:17,460 As the name suggests, seasonal storage technologies are primarily intended 561 00:43:17,761 --> 00:43:22,265 for storing thermal energy during one seasonal condition 562 00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:25,468 Which, for example, could be the summer or the winter, 563 00:43:25,469 --> 00:43:30,006 and discharging the stored energy in the other seasonal condition, 564 00:43:30,007 --> 00:43:32,675 depending on the load demand 565 00:43:32,676 --> 00:43:39,382 SeH S makes use of large basins or earth subsurface as the key source 566 00:43:39,383 --> 00:43:41,718 for enabling the energy storage, 567 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:47,590 to serve multiple buildings through a district cooling and/or heating network 568 00:43:47,591 --> 00:43:49,726 So, how does it work? 569 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,997  570 00:43:53,998 --> 00:43:58,768 produces chilled water within a centralised energy plant, 571 00:43:58,769 --> 00:44:03,773 and distributes it through underground pipes to buildings connected to the system 572 00:44:03,774 --> 00:44:06,943 and provides them with air conditioning 573 00:44:06,944 --> 00:44:11,514 Therefore individual buildings do not need split systems, 574 00:44:11,515 --> 00:44:14,450 chillers and/or cooling towers 575 00:44:14,685 --> 00:44:20,023 The chillers of the district cooling system can be coupled to cold storage 576 00:44:20,024 --> 00:44:25,294 a large tank that holds chilled water and functions as a thermal battery 577 00:44:25,796 --> 00:44:31,167 I his technology allows the district cooling system to chill water at night, 578 00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:33,536 using off peak electr icily, 579 00:44:33,537 --> 00:44:38,608 and then store the water for distribution to customers during the day 580 00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:44,480 Obviously, the initial expense of a district cooling plant will bo high, 581 00:44:44,481 --> 00:44:49,786 but there is the economies of scale due to the set up of centralised plants 582 00:44:49,787 --> 00:44:54,323 instead of individual cooling plants in each building 583 00:44:54,324 --> 00:45:01,998 An example of self S is aquifer thermal energy storage, shortly known as AI I S 584 00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:09,772 ATES systems work by using two separate wells of cold well and a warm well 585 00:45:09,773 --> 00:45:14,477 In the summer, cold groundwater From the cold well is pumped out, 586 00:45:14,478 --> 00:45:18,481 and used to cool the building using a heat exchanger 587 00:45:18,816 --> 00:45:23,853 The heat extracted from the building is injected into the warm well 588 00:45:23,854 --> 00:45:25,722 and stored until winter 589 00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:29,158 And in the winter the process is reversed 590 00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:33,129 Water from the warm well is used to heat the building, 591 00:45:33,130 --> 00:45:38,935 the cool air extracted from the system is then stored in the cold well 592 00:45:38,936 --> 00:45:44,574 In this module, you have learned that it ASI IRAt who sets the recommended 593 00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:50,446 and allowable temperature and humidity levels tor computer room equipment 594 00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:55,785 In cooling, various units of measure are being used, 595 00:45:55,786 --> 00:46:01,357 but it is recommended to stick to one unit, preferably being watt or kilowatts 596 00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:07,964 Cooling systems are classified as comfort cooling units and precision cooling units 597 00:46:07,965 --> 00:46:13,069 Within the precision cooling units, various cooling systems are available 598 00:46:13,070 --> 00:46:18,875 Selecting a cooling system for your data center depends on various criteria 599 00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:24,714 Cooling can be based on the concept of a raised floor and a non raised floor, 600 00:46:24,715 --> 00:46:28,484 each has its own benefits and drawbacks 601 00:46:28,752 --> 00:46:34,824 There are two important factors in cooling temperature and air flow volume, 602 00:46:34,825 --> 00:46:40,663 which is expressed in Cubic Feet Minute (CFM) or Cubic Metre per Hour (CMH) 603 00:46:40,998 --> 00:46:43,866 When lacing air conditioner units on the floor, 604 00:46:43,867 --> 00:46:47,103 these units must be facing the hot aisle 605 00:46:47,104 --> 00:46:52,909 or as it is commonly called "positioned perpendicular to the hot aisle" 606 00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:57,713 Sometimes additional cooling is required, and when it applies, 607 00:46:57,714 --> 00:47:01,717 various supplemental cooling options are available 608 00:47:01,985 --> 00:47:04,887 Hot and cold aisle containment, 609 00:47:04,888 --> 00:47:09,992 if done correctly, will improve the cooling efficiency and effectiveness 610 00:47:09,993 --> 00:47:16,632 but take into consideration the possible impact on tire suppression systems 611 00:47:16,867 --> 00:47:20,903 Seasonal thermal energy storage is a concept 612 00:47:20,904 --> 00:47:24,874 whereby energy is supplied to a storage system for removal, 613 00:47:24,875 --> 00:47:28,277 to be used at a later point in time 614 00:47:28,846 -->
