  9. Benefits of Containment – Room Cooling • Operating Cost • HAC no raised floor ROI over raised floor • 3 kW per Rack = 3 years • 6 kW per Rack = 1.5 years • CAC with raised ROI over raised floor • 3 kW per Rack = 4.3 years • 6 kW per Rack = 2.5 years First Cost • Higher first cost of adding containment to room cooling • Room Cooling with no raised floor and Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) most cost effective solution. 10% 7% 12% 6% 6% 4% Effect of Active Air Distribution Includes cost of piping, chiller, containment, and installation of cooling units Includes Unit fan power, chiller, and pumps • Based on 480 kW data center.

  10. Containment Recommendations • Always use containment for optimal TCO • Payback is immediate with close coupled cooling • 3 year ROI for Room Based Cooling improves with density • Hot Aisle Containment preferred approach for new data center builds • Improved Efficiency of the Cooling System • Flexibility to keep data center cool. • Cold Aisle Containment – Retrofit for existing data center • Flexibility to adapt to existing room cooling systems • Active floor to assist with cold air distribution from raised floor to ensure sufficient air flow is available in contained aisle. • Efficiency Gains Require elevating room temperature

UniFlair

  19. Product Trade-Offs - InRow • Benefits • Predictable airflow patterns as a result of close coupling easily enables higher densities • Rack inlet temperature control ensures temperatures to servers are maintained 7x24x365 • Redundancy and capacity sharing between units using Active Response Controls • Integrated redundancy on the electrical sections with double power supply • Integrated cooling module as part of ISX for modular, scalable, and manageable data center • Independent of a raised floor • Flexibility for floor mount or overhead installation to address facility constraints • Standardized units typically available in stock for quick delivery • Considerations to Implementation • Cooling equipment adjacent to IT equipment - water or refrigerant in the row • Typically requires more cooling units increasing connection points & cost • Requires space and provisions to connect to heat rejection system (Chiller, condenser, cooling tower, fluid cooler, ect.) located in mechanical room or outdoors. InRow

  20. Product Trade-Offs - Chillers • Benefits • Complete package solution with integrated free-cooling system and onboard hydronic module • Integrated redundancy on the refrigerant, hydraulic and electrical sections (integrated ATS, double pump/s…) • Complete integration with the Uniflair units with dynamic optimization of the operating parameters • Self optimization of all the installed chillers • Build to order units – configurable to specific customer requirements • Containerized cooling module: completely integrated free-cooling solution in a fully equipped (hydraulical&electrical) container • Considerations to Implementation • Requires clearances around the unit for maintenance • Low temperatures installations operate with glycol mixtures • Installation and sizing of interconnecting piping, valves, and other hydronic systems is required. Chillers

  21. Product Trade-Offs - EcoBreeze • Benefits • Highest efficiency – maximizes free cooling hours in most climates • No additional heat rejection systems required • Located outside of the data center freeing up white space • Built in modularity allows scalability of cooling capacity with demand. • Considerations to Implementation • requires space outdoors next to the building or on a roof in close proximity to the data center • Must accommodate space for supply and return duct systems within the building to and from the data center EcoBreeze
