Air Cooled Chiller for Air Conditioning Equipment in data centers and computer rooms

APC air cooled chillers for air conditioning equipment in data centers are a new generation of leading-edge technology. These all-in-one integrated packages reduce time and cost of installation.

Precision environmental requirements now reach far beyond the confines of the traditional data center or computer room to encompass a larger suite of applications referred to as technology rooms. Critical environment applications include:

• Computer rooms

• Telecommunication facilities

• Clean rooms

• Power Equipment

• Medical equipment rooms

• Archives

• LAN/WAN environments

The air cooled modular chillers are designed for medium to large data centers and are available in six models; from 50 kW to 220 kW.  Models 50-167 kW include a separate power feed to the pump for UPS connection.

A look inside an APC Chiller

Chilled Water Distribution

Chilled water is often used in data centers to provide the maximum reliability and capacity control of the cooling equipment, while maintaining the indoor environment refrigerant-free.  To provide high reliability for year-round operation, a dedicated chiller is recommended for data center air conditioners.

APC's Air Cooled Modular Chiller supplies chilled water to the Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs). The chilled water absorbs rejected heat from the air through the CRAC units, then is routed back to the chiller through the return lines. The chiller then rejects the heat from the water completing the system cycle.

Efficiency and Reliability

The high EER (up to 10.1) and few moving parts of scroll compressors provide efficient and reliable operation. APC chillers use ultra-quiet, high-efficiency scroll compressors, operated in tandem for greater efficiency at partial loads. The compressors are maintenance-free and protected by an auto-adaptive control that minimizes compressor wear.

Compact Footprint

APC chiller's compact design means it won't stand out if installed on the roof. The integrated hydronics and the chilled fluid storage tank's placement under the chiller does not increase the footprint of the chiller, allowing easy installation almost anywhere.

The APC Chillers offer many benefits:

• Microprocessor controller- Provides proactive control and real-time monitoring via a four line, eighty character, alphanumeric display.
• ModBus translator Optional feature allows integration with Building Management System.
 

Total Cost of Ownership:

• Variable speed fans- Variable speed fans reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods.
• Integrated Hydronics Package- Includes all the necessary components to make one connection to the chilller without the need of external connections to auxiliary equipment such as pumps, increasing the speed of deployment.

Availability:

• Scroll compressors - Utilize few moving parts for increased reliability and life expectancy.
• Independent power feed Optional feed to the pumps allows for wiring to the UPS, thus ensuring chilled water availability during generator start-up when used with a storage tank.
• Dual redundant pumps Provide reliable chilled water flow sized for full capacity.
• Low ambient controls Enable chiller operation in temperatures down to -20°F.

Convenience:

• Optional storage tank- Fits under chiller without increasing footprint.
