Introducing the STULZ CyberRack SideCooler: A Solution for Efficient Data Centre Cooling
In the ever-evolving world of data centres, where space constraints and remote locations present unique challenges, STULZ has launched the CyberRack SideCooler to address the cooling needs of modern facilities. This closed-loop water-cooled unit is specifically designed to cater to the cooling requirements of data centres, particularly those in space-constrained environments or remote locations.
One of the key features of the CyberRack SideCooler is its flexibility and adaptability. It can seamlessly integrate between server racks or within a micro data centre, offering efficient cooling directly at the heat source while maximizing space efficiency. With front and rear service access points and hot-swappable fans, maintenance activities are simplified, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
As data centre power density continues to increase, driven by advancements in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the need for effective cooling solutions becomes more critical. Matteo Foroni, Product Manager at STULZ S.p.A., emphasizes the importance of the CyberRack SideCooler in meeting the evolving demands of data centres. Compatible with racks from all manufacturers, it supports various airflow concepts while delivering high reliability for continuous operation.
The CyberRack SideCooler eliminates the need for hot and cold aisle separation by delivering cooling within a closed-loop server rack. Utilizing three horizontal zones, it maintains necessary airflow and supply air temperature to prevent hotspots without excessive energy consumption. By enabling high water temperatures, the CyberRack SideCooler extends the feasibility of free cooling, maximizing efficiency when paired with the STULZ CyberCool Explorer WS chiller.
In line with STULZ’s commitment to sustainability, the CyberRack SideCooler incorporates intelligent control features and electronically commutated (EC) fan and motor technology to ensure high energy efficiency and low noise emissions. Its advanced control system, including an intuitive touchscreen display option, simplifies operation and seamless integration with building management systems, enhancing operational reliability and peace of mind for data centre operators.
In conclusion, the STULZ CyberRack SideCooler is a robust, flexible, versatile, and energy-efficient cooling solution specifically designed to handle high heat loads in edge and micro data centre deployments. With its innovative features and benefits, the CyberRack SideCooler offers excellent functionality, making it a top choice for data centre operators looking to optimize cooling efficiency and performance.
