Hyperscale Data Center
In modern data centers, thermal management goes beyond just cooling servers and racks. Critical components like power distribution units, supplemental power generation, and facility level large cooling units among many others must be effectively managed to ensure reliability and efficiency. Neglecting these supporting areas can compromise the overall performance and safety of the facility. At Pfannenberg, we provide thermal management solutions designed to address the needs of key elements of your data center, ensuring optimal performance and seamless operation across the entire infrastructure.
Industrial Data
As IT equipment becomes concentrated in micro data centers, separate from the main server room, and/or moved into enclosures directly on the factory floor, challenges exist to keep the networking equipment, sensors, and remote controls safe from the often harsh conditions. Pfannenberg designed the Datawind Filterfan for small spaces like IT racks, and offers cooling solutions for edge computing to safely bring networking resources to the shop floor or wherever the data is collected.

ENERGY STORAGE

Designed to provides immediate power during a power surges, drops in voltage, brownouts, blackouts, and other power supply issues, keeping power flowing until the grid power resumes or generators start. Packaged Chillers and Air to Water Heat Exchangers are utilized to cool electrical components to prevent thermal shutdown, efficiency losses, or component failures. The Air to Water Heat Exchangers offer a low GWP solution.

SWITCH GEAR

Controlling the distribution of power from the grid to the main Data Center Heaters & Hygrostats are used to protect critical electronic equipment from condensation and cold temperatures. Condensation causes corrosion and electrical shorts in the equipment.

ON SITE POWER GENERATION

Supplemental power is employed to provide stable power in the event of an interruption to the data center. A combination of Filterfans, Heaters and Thermostats are utilized to maintain performance and reliability of the controls.

LARGE SCALE CHILLERS

Industrial systems that regulate coolant temperature and circulate through the facility, either for direct to chip cooling or to a HVAC unit for climate control. A variety of solutions are used to cool VFDs and control panels on the chiller including: Filterfans with Heaters, low GWP refrigerant air-conditioner units, and Air to Water Heat Exchangers.

HVAC SYSTEMS

Designed and optimized to remove large quantities of heat, regulate temperature and humidity, and prioritize energy efficiency. Typically located outside they can utilize 3R rated Filterfans or a Filterfan with Rainhoods in conjunction with heaters and thermostats to cool the control panels of large scale air cooling units.

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMING

Hyperscale data center locations require a variety of visual and audible signaling to provide indication, warning, or alarm for critical issues that could affect operations, equipment and personnel safety, and uptime. Examples events include fire, power interruption, cooling, leaks, and security events. Patrol PA X 1-05 strobe with alarm for fire, PYRA X MA for audible and visual alarm for battery interruption, or PA L 1 R RGB LED inside a center to indicate priority coding or operation status are some of the solutions available.
