The guys at CIX.ie have published an interesting white paper that deals with how they plan to maximise the Air Conditioning at their new data centre facility in Cork, Ireland

1) Utilise Free Cooling - By taking advantage of the of the low out-door temperatures in Ireland.

2) Maximise Chilled Water Temperature

3) Eliminate Water Mixing

4) Eliminate Air Mixing - By utilising a cold aisle containment system (the opposite of the more common hot aisle containment system).

5) Utilising a low resistance slow speed air path - by taking advantage of the large under floor void and the high ceiling space.

6) Minimise humidification

The full white paper can be found here http://www.cix.ie/air-conditioning-efficiency-at-the-cix-data-centre/

We would also recommend that they fit Koldolk Cable Grommets to reduce by-pass air loss and by using the plenaform under floor air barrier system to direct the cold air to exactly where it is needed.

We look forward to following the progress of the new Data Centre Build.

This is Part 2 of our guide to the Koldok range of Products

The KoldLok Surface Mount (Model 2020) is for existing holes with cables already in place.

It splits apart to encircle the cables and then snaps together as one piece. The unit is then adhered to the top of the tile with the included adhesive mounting kit.

The KoldLok Surface Mount offers all the features of the Integral (with the exception of the NFPA requirement), but with the added benefit of easily sealing holes without having to disconnect existing cabling.

Since it is mounted on top of the tile, it seals any size or configuration of opening in the tile up to10″ x 7″ in size. The KoldLok Surface Mount L (Model 2030) and XL, (Model 2040) include metal plates for sealing larger openings.

The KoldLok Surface L seals openings up to 10″ x 10″ and the XL seals openings up to 10″ x 13″.

Guide to Koldloks - Part 1

The KoldLok Integral (Model 1010) is for new cable cut-outs and is designed to seal openings before any equipment has been installed on the raised-floor tile.

The KoldLok Integral sits flush with the floor into an opening approximately 9″x6″ or 235mm x 172mm .

The benefits and features of the Integral include a penetrable seal that allows re-cabling with automatic re-sealing, static dissipative properties, and compliance with NFPA requirements to trim cut metal edges of raised-floor tiles. It also assists gas fire suppression systems.

KoldLok also offers the Split Integral (Model 3030) for existing cabling in raised-floor tiles where the rack clearance is too low to accommodate a Surface Mount unit.
Special Features of the Integral Units

• The Split Integral Grommets allow tiles to be moved without capturing cable
• The Grommets integrate with the raised-floor static dissipation system
• 32 square inch usable cabling area accommodates a variety of cabling requirements, including 100 amp power connectors
• The Grommets satisfy NFPA 75 Section 5-4.4 requirement by self-dressing the raw metal edges of raised-floor tile cable cutouts
• The Grommets contain no loose or partially fastened parts, which can become separated or fall through the raised floor.
• Compliant with the directive that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS)
