Overview

A complete cooling path for local IT

A single-row micro data center integrates cabinets, power distribution, precision cooling, monitoring and fire protection. Start with the local IT load and the space available for equipment and access.

Integrated cabinet row

Bring the infrastructure together

Coordinate rack space, power, monitoring and fire protection within the compact cabinet layout.

Cooling beside the load

Use in-row cooling

Position the cooling units beside the cabinets and plan the connections to the outdoor equipment.

Operating conditions

Plan free-cooling operation

Refrigerant-pump free cooling depends on outdoor conditions and the required indoor temperature.

Reference configuration
