AERMEC DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS THE COMPLE TE RANGE OF AERMEC SOLUTIONS FOR DATA CENTRES

GLOBAL DATA CENTRE IP TRAFFIC WILL TRIPLE WITHIN 5 YEARS • The need for bigger online storage resources; • The new possibility to analyze a bigger amount of data (a phenomenon called “big data analysis”, applied in the analysis of complex systems such as weather forecasts or social behavior prediction); • The growing demand for cloud requirements. Cloud data centre traffic will grow with a CAGR of 35% from 2012 to 2017, at a faster rate than the traditional IP traffic, establishing a 4,5-fold growth during this period. Zettabytes / Year Global data centre IP traffic has set a constant growth...

DATA CENTRE COOLING REQUIREMENTS Data centre cooling systems represent a significant portion of a facility’s capital expenditure and use a substantial amount of energy. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers) publishes specific guidelines for temperature and humidity control within data centres. The 3rd Edition of the Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments defines a recommended operating window and four allowable ranges, designated A1 through A4. The new allowable ranges (A3 and A4) are intended to remove obstacles to new data centre cooling...

Aermec’s 2MW testing facilities Aermec’s advanced labs extend to 2MW cooling capacity per single unit in what is probably Europe’s largest test facility, which will offer Eurovent certification. Specific labs within Aermec also cater for extreme temperature testing, ventilation and heat exchange measurements, noise level verification and vibration testing. Aermec furthermore utilizes a simulated data centre installation including both a data hall simulator and an ambient air simulator recreating typical ambient temperature and humidity conditions. AERMEC & DATA CENTRES Aermec’s experience in...

DATA CENTRE DESIGN SOLUTIONS According to the specific data centre characteristics, the geographical and thus ambient conditions in which the data centre is located, and the individual target requirements of the User, differing data centre cooling typologies can be applied. CRAC Condenser or Dry Cooler CHILLED WATER SYSTEMS DIRECT EXPANSION SYSTEMS Precision Air Conditioners featuring one or more chilled water coils (CRAH), operating in combination with one or more external water chillers. The water chiller can be in standard or freecooling configuration. In alternative to the CRAH units, which...

DESIGNING YOUR OPTIMISED DATA CENTRE An optimised data centre starts with a clear vision as to the overall project objectives: Aermec’s unique ACES energy simulation software supports this process by evaluating the performances of differing data centre solutions. All of these inputs are considered to generate a customized and optimized proposal. ACES furthermore cross compares the performance of multiple chillers, the PAC system, AHU and server control devices, primary and secondary pumping equipment, system lay out, etc. ACES considers variable loads and all year round operation, evaluating...

THE AERMEC DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS WATER CHILLERS Aermec water chillers offer a wide range of cooling capacities to meet the needs of small, medium and large data centres. Free-cooling technology exploits the favourable environmental conditions to supply chilled water without the use of mechanical cooling, maximizing efficiencies and energy savings. NSM_I (285 - 1204kW) Chillers with inverter screw compressors with shell & tube heat exchangers Water produced up -6°C to +15°C - Outdoor air temperature up -10°C to +50°C Standard and free-cooling configurations NSM (302 - 2100kW) Chillers with screw...

AIR-COOLED DIRECT EXPANSION CONFIGURATIONS Cooling range 7 – 183kW Down-flow and Up-flow versions DC inverter compressors, EC fans, electronic...

AERMEC CHILLERS ENSURE LOWEST PUE’S The most evolved free-cooling technologies Free-cooling translates into cooling for free, the more this can be exploited the higher the energy savings. Aermec optimises free-cooling, a concept whereby ambient air is used for cooling when the ambient temperature is lower than the data hall air (direct free-cooling) or the chilled water (indirect free-cooling). In hydronic solutions free-cooling starts when external conditions ensure even a minimum coverage of the thermal load requirements. Thanks to the application of modulating free-cooling to maximize the...

Chiller + Standard Dry Cooler Chiller + Adiabatic Dry Cooler Chiller Freecooling Chiller freecooling Chiller freecooling with Integrated Adiabatic Panels Energy saving with the adiabatic dry cooler would be wider with higher water temperature in the cooling process. The Free Cooling chiller solution is always the most advantageous, maximising the energy savings in both relative (compared with the other solutions) and absolute terms. (3) Energy annual consumption includes losses of load on air side due to adiabatic panels. (1) (2) Data Refers to London (UK) for a chillers units with 500kW operating...
