Advanced Cooling Solutions
Demand Based Cooling

Cooling Data Centers: A Challenge for Today and Tomorrow
Raised floor plenums, perimeter computer room air conditioners (CRACs), and passive perforated tiles allow cooling air to flow to IT racks. However, it is increasingly difficult to deliver enough air from passive perforated tiles.

The AdaptivCool™ Solution

AdaptivCool™ represents a step change in the reliability, functionality, and energy efficiency of existing data centers. It provides real-time airflow and temperature control, an active user interface, and 24/7 thermal monitoring and alarming, with automated adjustment of airflow based on supply and demand.
 
This equates to the elimination of hot spots and typical reduction in the consumption of energy by 20% to 30%. In many cases data center operators choose to use the improved cooling efficiency to install more servers in the same space, and avoid costly infrastructure expansion.

Demand Based Cooling
AdaptivCool from DegreeC™ offers Demand Based Cooling Solutions for comprehensive thermal management of data centers. AdaptivCool incorporates the latest in control technology to dynamically manage airflow and cooling. The system is deployed without affecting the 24/7 operation of a data center, and accommodates most CRAC types. In some cases, CRACs may even be put on standby due to increased cooling efficiency.

Steps to a Cooler Data Center:

  1. On-site audit discovers all variables within each unique data center, including room layout and rack location, server density, CRAC type and location, perforated tile quantity and location, and relevant external factors such as solar gain and humidity intrusion.
     
  2. CFD modeling provides an accurate baseline model of the data center, which predicts airflow and temperature changes above and below the floor during normal operation and under failure modes.
  3. Project review with IT and facilities departments based on engineering results. A number of options are considered and a solution is recommended.
  4. Turnkey installation requires no down time or ovement of IT or critical infrastructure.

We offers an alternate contract-based service model, which allows customers to avoid capital purchases and positions us to execute the appropriate cooling strategies for each unique application:
 
• Remote monitoring of thermal conditions and trends
• Alarms for specified out-of-normal conditions
• Monthly reports tracking energy savings, numbers of alarms, etc.
• Quarterly reports highlighting thermal trends
• Forecasting upcoming needs for additional cooling capacity
• Updated thermal and airflow profiles, quarterly or semi-annually
