Understanding Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) for Liquid Cooling Efficiency
As data centers evolve to meet increasing demands, especially with the rise of high-density computing, liquid cooling has emerged as a critical solution. Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) are pivotal in managing liquid cooling systems, ensuring data centers operate efficiently and safely. Airedale’s Coolant Distribution Units provide effective thermal management by precisely controlling the delivery and return of coolant to the IT racks. These units are vital components in secondary cooling loops, which isolate the critical IT infrastructure from the facility’s primary water supply. By using CDUs, data centers can mitigate the risk of leaks and maintain optimal temperatures, all while …
Have filters in Data Centers become surplus to requirements?
Our calculations suggest a possible 14% increase in energy expenditure when comparing a like-for-like set up of cooling equipment inside a data center, where the only differential is the inclusion of internal filters on the fan walls. Paul Golding, Product Manager – CRAC CRAH Fanwall, ponders the question: why do some data center operators still specify filters inside their fan walls? It is no secret that data center servers kick out huge amounts of heat that have to be controlled to prevent operation failure. So critical is cooling within the data center industry that millions of dollars are invested …
