Cooling
A cooling path for that site.
The approach starts from the site: the climate, the water and energy the plant will use, the interfaces between systems, and whether the result can be maintained. One diagram does not fit every data center.
- Site conditions
- The climate
- Outdoor air, humidity, and the design day belong to that site. Canada and New York State are not Southeast Asia.
- Water and energy
- Measured
- Water and power used by the cooling plant are part of the design, not an afterthought.
- Interfaces
- The joints
- Where the IT loop, the building plant, and the heat rejection meet, and who owns each one.
- Maintainability
- Service
- Valves, filters, and readings a technician can reach after the data center is in operation.
A cooling path
From the chip to heat leaving the site.
This is one path, shown so the interfaces are visible. The site decides whether heat leaves to air, to water, or by another plant the location can support. DGC does not manufacture the coolers.
-
01
Cold plate
One place heat can leave the chip, into a coolant.
-
02
Coolant loop
Flow, temperature, and chemistry have to stay inside limits.
-
03
Distribution
The distribution unit is the interface between the IT equipment and the plant.
-
04
Rejection
Heat leaves to air or water, by a method the site can support.
