The Great Lakes Lake Effect (LE) Thermal Enclosure utilizes the proprietary concept of accelerated ambient cooling to provide an even flow of low temperature air to the front intake face of the servers inside. This air is used by the computer's internal fans to cool the equipment. The number of servers that can be placed in an enclosed cabinet is directly related to the amount of air available to cool the equipment. The temperature available at the base on the fan box is limited to the ambient temperature associated with CRAC output or base room temperature. An Environmentally Responsible Approach The Lake Effect requires no infrastructure changes to implement No water or refrigerants are introduced into the data center There is no additional piping, duct work or floor modifications Does not invade under floor static pressure Moves cool aisle into front of cabinet Can be placed, configured & become operational, immediately Maximizes available ambient air, conditioned or not
The Lake Effect makes the most of its environment. It does not require any water, refrigerants, piping , duct work or floor modifications. The enclosure can be placed on an existing data center floor, ready to be configured with servers and can be operational immediately. Great Lakes Lake Effect Thermal Enclosure Airflow Diagram
The high-performance vanaxial fans in Great Lakes patented front-mounted fan box will accelerate air at the lowest point in the data center or in the area in which the enclosure is located. If in a raised floor environment, the air will be taken in at the lowest temperature and the highest pressure point, maximizing the cooling effect within the cabinet and within the data center. In any other environment, cold air will seek its lowest point and the fan box will accelerate that air to maximize its cooling potential.
