HotSpotr™ - Data Center Hot Spot Removal

Data Center (or server) Hot Spots are becoming more common with the introduction of higher density racks and blade servers. Racks that previously housed 1-3 kilowatts (kW) of IT equipment are now being asked to support 10 -15 kW or more on the same raised floor.

The HotSpotr™ line of active airflow components has been specifically designed to quickly and reliably solve a variety of Data Center cooling issues and your personnel can self install them in 30 minutes. Computer room cooling issues that can be quickly solved with HotSpotr products include underfloor obstructions, shallow raised floor height, high density racks, poor CRAC placement, poor rack placement, and poor room layout. In short, the HotSpotr is a quick and effective solution to solve Data Center airflow and cooling problems that cannot be solved by simple passive methods.

Hot Spots Are Localized Data center hot spots typically result from five factors:     • concentrated server heat production   • too little cool airflow to densely populated racks   • invisible vortices under the floor   • obstructions in the room   • hot air sneaking into the intakes of your rack-top servers.   HotSpotr™ eliminates the heat build-up these factors cause.

Hot Spots Need More Supply
Most data centers have 2 to 3 times as much cooling as they need for their server load, according to the Uptime
Institute. HotSpotr™ moves your expensive chilled air to your hottest racks.
 
Hot Spots Need Exhaust
Most racks that get hot stay hot because the hot air cannot escape. A HotSpotr™ powered overhead return drives the hot air back to the CRAC, removing the heat and improving the performance of your CRACs.
 
HotSpotr™ Supplies a Package
We furnish a complete package. Depending on which model you buy, each HotSpotr™ package contains a powerful airmover, ducting, sensors, cabling, controls, indicator LEDs and instructions. HotSpotr™ packages are available immediately from stock.
 
Installation Is Easy
Your installation team can install HotSpotr™ into your data center without interrupting its operations – no downtime required!
 
HotSpotr™ Is Scalable
Each HotSpotr™ package will eliminate the hot spots in 1-3 racks. If you have a larger hot spot, simply order two or more HotSpotr™ packages. HotSpotr™ is modular and fully compatible with energy-saving AdaptivCool™ systems.

Intelligent Cooling. HotSpotr™ is a family of powered airflow improvement products that move chilled data center air to precisely where it is needed the most, and remove heated exhaust air directly back to your computer room air conditioners (CRACs). Top-of-the-line HotSpotr™ models are thermostatically controlled by the included temperature sensors; less expensive models can be controlled by operators or will run continuously.   Integrated Solution. HotSpotrs connect to most building management systems so the building management system’s Emergency Power Off function will turn off your HotSpotrs, too. HotSpotr™ can be used with both 110- and 240-volt power.   No Interruptions. Installation requires no downtime or movement of racks. Each HotSpotr™ improves cooling in 1-3 racks. Several HotSpotrs can be used at the same time to cool larger areas.
