Retrofitting Strategy Conversion of CRAC unit to cold door for server rack cooling
Cold door is a cooling coil installed at the door of the hot air discharge side of the equipment rack. It absorbs the heat directly before it leaves the equipment rack. It requires no fan power and supply temperature of the cooling media can be maintained at a much higher temperature than a typical chilled water system, say 21°C. Besides, the whole data centre hall can be maintained in a better environment.

Consideration
  • Cold door normally supplied with the equipment rack and thus the size of the equipment rack has limited selection. 
Estimated Saving
              Waterside: 1/COP_CHPRE * QBLDGPRE * OPHRPRE,yr – 1/COP_ACPOST * QBLDGPOST * OPHRPOST,yr)

Where   QBLDGPRE = (NCHMAX* Qe_CHR + NCHMIN * Qe_CHR)*0.45
QBLDGPOST = kW_IT*LFIT

Airside AHU: kW_AHU*NAHU*LFAHU*OPHRPRE – kW_FD*NFD*LFFD*OPHRPOST

Airsde CRAC: kW_CRAC*NCRAC*LFCRAC*OPHRPRE – kW_FD*NFD*LFFD*OPHRPOST
