Eaton-Williams - Data centres set to benefit from innovative and
flexible cooling solution
Eaton-Williams, a leading manufacturer in the process
cooling, air conditioning and humidification industry is
vying for a share in the growing blade server and data
room cooling markets.
Announcing the shift in strategy and new product
offerings, Mark Luxford, Eaton-Williams’ New
Technologies Executive says:
“We have been working closely with the IT industry’s
leading companies including IBM, USystems and Intel to
develop a complete range of products and turnkey
solutions to tackle the burgeoning heat problems faced
in data centres.”
Floor space in data and server rooms is at a premium and
driving the demand for packaging densities of computer
systems. As processor capacity increases, a natural
consequence is greater heat generation.
The advances of computing power and technologies are
putting greater demands on traditional temperature
control systems. Some companies are tackling the problem
by reducing the amount of equipment housed in racks or
reducing the number of racks used in each room. This
presents Data Centre Managers with a dilemma, how to run
an efficient data centre with low operation costs,
whilst maximising space and overcoming heat problems.
As no one product can provide the solution,
Eaton-Williams has developed a range of products at rack
and room level that when combined can address these
issues and satisfy the growing demand for precision
cooling for blade servers, and critical data room
equipment.
The Eaton-Williams Cooling IT portfolio includes server
cabinets/rear door heat exchangers, cooling distribution
units, CRAC units, chillers, grilles and diffusers, all
backed up with a comprehensive installation, project
management, service and maintenance package for optimum
operating efficiency.
The Products:
Server Cabinets/Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx) are
designed to provide an environment for high heat density
blade servers and IT equipment and can remove up to 30kW
of heat at source, rejecting it to water rather than the
room.
The Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) is designed to
provide cooling water, close controlled and above dew
point for up to six rear door heat exchangers. It is
capable of up to 150kW cooling capacity.
CDU Module is a 20kW self-contained version of the CDU.
It can provide cooling water above dew point to one or
two rear door heat exchangers and slides into a standard
19” rack (6u high) whilst maintaining all the features
of the larger unit.
The Modular CDU system provides connectivity for up to
six CDU Modules during initial install whilst allowing
the CDU modules and RDHx’s to be added as the heat loads
increase and the data centre grows.
The DRU (CRAC) air conditioning units are suitable for
high density load areas where a large cooling duty is
required. Units are available with 80, 100 or 120kW
cooling capacities and available with chilled water, DX,
DX with water-cooled condenser and glycol free cooling
configurations.
The IPAC floor standing (CRAC Unit) is an air
conditioning unit available in either chilled water or
DX cooling configurations. Units can be supplied with
either an upflow or a downflow air pattern with up to
80kW of cooling capability.
Energy Efficient chillers up to a capacity of 600kW with
full run/standby (N+1) capability can be offered. A
factory-fitted free cooling capability qualifies for ECA
(Enhanced Capital Allowance) under the Carbon Trust
Scheme.
All of these products are specifically designed for high
spec IT environments with maximum performance and
reliability in mind. N+1 redundancy is a standard, built
in feature of the products which have been developed in
partnership with global blue chip IT equipment
providers.
In addition, Eaton-Williams can provide an extensive
range of standard grilles and diffusers with the option
of customised designs including floor grilles for data
centres.
Comprehensive service and maintenance and M&E Services
provides 24/7 support. With a national network of mobile
engineers or by supplying residential engineers,
Eaton-Williams can maximise operating efficiency. For a
complete package, project design, installation,
commissioning, refurbishment and refrigerant recovery
are also available.
Whether customers require individual products, a
customised system or a complete turnkey solution,
Eaton-Williams Cooling IT is well placed to meet all a
customers’ needs.
