Small data centres have big requirements. Closer to end users, they deliver high connectivity and availability at low latencies, serving the needs of a world increasingly reliant on digital technologies that require data processing closer to the point of use.
Cooling the edge is central to Airedale’s strategy as we align our business around key end-user sectors. Our Edge Business Unit is backed up with a comprehensive product portfolio, intelligent controls, applications expertise and nearly 50 years of experience providing intelligent cooling systems to data centres across the world, from single computer rooms to hyperscale.
Airedale’s cooling philosophy is built upon free cooling systems, with indoor and outdoor equipment matched and system parameters optimised to deliver uptime and redundancy at the lowest possible energy outlay.
We have experience of supplying systems based on multiple smaller chilled water loops, with one chiller paired with 1-3 CRAC / CRAH units. As the size of the data centre increases, we see designs mimicking larger colocation data centres, with a single large chilled water loop. We have a vast experience in both supplying products that fit these architectures and supplying controls systems that optimise them. This includes:
- CW setpoint rescheduling for efficiency improvement
- Variable flow management to maximise free cooling and minimise pump power
- Chiller staging to ensure units operate at point of maximum efficiency
