  2. Outline • Drivers for Economizers • ASHRAE 90.1 / TC 9.9 • Availability of Power • Custom Systems • EcoBreeze IEC • Overview and Key Features • SKUs and Dimensions • Components • Electrical Information • How it works • Inside the Data Center • Outside the Data Center • Module Function • Performance • Competitor Comparison • Power Usage

  3. Drivers for Economizers ASHRAE 90.1 2008 Limits Temp Range: 64.4-80.6°F Humidity Range: (DP 42°F) – (60% RH & DP 59°F) • ASHRAE 90.1 standards are always evolving as technology advances • ASHRAE TC9.9 revisions expanded the envelope for recommended operating conditions in the data center • This widened envelope allows for more efficiency and energy savings through more hours of economization 2004 Limits Temp Range: 68-77°F Humidity Range: 40-55%

  4. Economizer Requirements None - 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a, 4a > 19kW - 3b, 3c, 4b, 4c, 5b, 5c, 6b >40kW - 2b, 5a, 6a, 7, 8

  5. Drivers for Economizers Energy Costs and Constraints • Data centers are constantly expanding which requires more energy • Local energy companies place heavy restrictions on gaining more power from the grid • There is a need to reduce cooling power consumption to allow room for value-added IT equipment

  6. Drivers for Economizers Custom Economizer Systems Complex System • Complex infrastructure requires special controls, installation, and maintenance • Multiple vendors involved • These systems have a higher chance of failure and emergency maintenance EcoBreeze

  7. Features and Benefits • Two forms of Economization • Air-to-Air Heat Exchange • Indirect Evaporative Cooling • Proportional DX refrigeration circuit • Variable Speed Compressor • Electronically Commutated Fans • Zero White Space Solution • Modular Design for “Pay as you Grow” Philosophy • Chemical-Free Water Treatment • 50kW Sensible Cooling Per Module (No Dehumid/Humid) • IEC Heat Exchanger • No mixing of IT air and outside air

  13. Outside Air Fan (Scavenger Fan) 7,000 CFM per Module 5,000 CFM = 8495 m3/h 7,000 CFM = 11893 m3/h 40,000 CFM = 67960 m3/h IT Air Intake Fans 5,000 CFM per Module (40,000 CFM Fully Populated Frame)

  14. EcoBreeze IEC Electrical Information • Variety of Voltages • 208-230/3/60 • 460-480/3/60 • 575-600/3/60 • 400/3/50 • Amp Draw less than 25A (per module based on 460V) • Schneider Electric Controller • Redundant Frame Electronics: RIM & MIM • ModBUS RTU Interface • Single Point Power Connection

  15. How it works High Level Application • Mandatory Clearance: • 4ft on ends of the frame • 8ft between systems

  16. Hot air from the servers is controlled through Hot Aisle Containment (HACS) The hot air is then rises to the ceiling plenum and fed into the return ducting of the EcoBreeze The IT air is then cooled and supplied back to the data center through a raised floor plenum or cold aisle diffusers The cool air is forced through the perforated tiles in front of the server racks and used to keep the servers at a safe operating temperature

  17. Hot air from the servers is controlled through ducting connected to the racks (VED) The hot air is then rises to the ceiling plenum and fed into the return ducting of the EcoBreeze The IT air is then cooled and supplied back to the data center through cold aisle diffusers. The diffusers have a bowling alley type discharge that sends the air down the cold aisle

  18. Hot ambient air is expelled through the condenser to the atmosphere Hot Air is returned from the Data Center 98°F-102°F (37°C-39°C) Cool IT Air is Supplied through the evaporator coil and back to the Data Center 77°F (25°C) Indirect Heat exchange between the IT and ambient airstreams (Evaporative or Air-to-Air) Cool Ambient Air is brought in by the Scavenger Fan

  19. How it works Cooling Module – Air to Air Heat Exchange • When ambient air drops below 45°F (setpoint adjustable) • System water is dumped to prevent freezing and/or dumped after 24 hours (user adjustable) of spray free operation • Only requires power of fans to move the air (If DX assist is not needed) • Cool air passes over the outside of the heat exchanger channels, cooling the hot IT air flowing inside.

  20. How it works Cooling Module – Evaporative Cooling • Heat is removed from the IT air by evaporating water on the outside of the heat exchanger channels • Water is supplied evenly over the heat exchanger channels via spray nozzles • Maintains the adjustable IT supply air set point

  21. How it works Cooling Module – Proportional DX Circuit • Variable speed compressor allows for optimal efficiency of DX cooling • Supplements evaporative cooling to maintain the supply air set point • Designed for 60% of full load • 410a Refrigerant

  22. Competitive Analysis 55% more efficient than a perimeter CRAC w/ Economizer solution!

  23. Performance Indirect Evaporative Cooling Economizer • Seattle, Washington • Full economizer 8,550 hours per year • Partial performance from econ balance of year • Worse case DX percentage of IT load 10.4% • Annualized COP ≈ 22 • Water use 47% of Year 2,399,694 (kW hr) x .08 ($/kW) = ~$191,975/year mechanical operating costs for 30 systems 60% Load Factor, 75°F Supply Set-point, 102°F Return
