Why• Continued equipment miniaturization
– Smaller the equipment, smaller the cabinet!
• Extension of LAN, Web and Wi-Fi access– More access everywhere!
• POE (Power over Ethernet) Security – Cameras
• BAS (Building Automation Systems)
• No Telecommunication Room (TR)
• Retrofit of older buildings that do not have TR’s
• Installation in public areas – Hallways, offices, school rooms, etc.
• Telecommunication Enclosures become the Telecommunication Room
TE = TR

OSP - Aluminum
• Most wall-mount enclosures for OSP application are made of aluminum
• Solar loading consideration is critical
• Locking handle with pad-locking provisions usually required
• Light colors are the norm– Solar load (white, light
gray, etc)

Aluminum – Pole-mount
• Typical OSP application
• 19” spaced equipment rotated to reduce width of cabinet– Less load on pole
• Heat exchanger for thermal control
• Solar shield to reduce heat build-up
• Typical “Telco” equipment
A Pentair Company
Thermal Requirements
• In many applications the ambient temperature is too high!
• Consider solar loads for OSP applications
• Heat exchangers
– When the air is cooler than 85° to 100°F
• Air conditioners
– When the air temperature is over 90° to 105°F

Convection – Air Cooling• How do I dissipate the Heat - Watts?
– Equation [ Watts = .316 X CFM x ∆T in °F ]• At sea level (Use equation up to 4000 Ft)
– Air volume (CFM)• The greater the air volume (CFM) the more heat removed
• Higher the CFM, the more heat dissipation
– Temperature {Delta T or ∆T in °F }• The greater the temperature difference the more heat removed
• Referred to as Delta T (∆T in °F )
• ∆T – the difference between the intake air and exhaust air
• Typical data center lowest manageable air temperature is 55ºF
• Best possible ∆T is about 40º - 50ºF (Almost impossible to achieve!)
– Most data centers can only count on 20º - 30ºF ∆T
– Air flow, no matter how much, cannot cool below ambient!
Watts = .316 x CFM x ∆T
A Pentair Company
Trade-offs
• CFM– Noise – higher the CFM the more acoustic noise
• Direct relationship between CFM and acoustic noise
• Big problem in office, retail, SOHO, and commercial applications
– Power usage – The higher the CFM the more power consumed• Money, availability, efficiency, etc
• ∆T (Delta T)– Avoid high ∆T (Stay below 20 ∆T)
• Why – thermal shock, expansion and dew point
• Avoid large temperature swings
• Always keep internal temperatures of cabinets above dew point– Condensation issues (Mold, corrosion, water droplets, etc)
The higher the CFM or ∆T the higher the heat dissipation!
A Pentair Company
Using Air to Cool Equipment• Air can be the most
economical means to cool equipment, if …– Temperature is lower than max
allowable– Clean (will not damage the
equipment)– Available in needed quantity– Low water moisture (dew point)
• Only two factors influence heat removal by air!– Volume or CFM (Cubic Feet
per Minute)– Temperature difference
between ambient and the max allowable or Delta T (∆T)
Watts = .316 x CFM x ∆T

Watts » BTUs » Tons Cooling Capacity
• 1 Watt = 3.413 BTUs (BTU/Hr)– 5,000 WATTs = 17,065 BTUs
• 1 Ton (refrigeration) = 12,000 BTUs– 5 Tons (refrigeration) = 60,000 BTUs
• 1 Ton (refrigeration) = 3,516 Watts– 5 Tons (refrigeration) = 60,000 BTU’s = 17,580 Watts
• One rack unit server = 150 Watts (average power usage)
– 40 One-rack unit servers = 6,000 Watts = 20,500 BTU’s = 1.7 Tons
– Row of 10 cabinets = 60K Watts = 205K BTU’s = 17.0 Tons
60K Watts @120vac = 500 Amps

Thermal Tools
• Non-contact thermometer– Measures surface temperature
– Indirectly measure air temperature
• Amp meter (clamp on)– Measure current flow
– Power in = Heat out
• PDUs with Amp meters– Provides current flow
• Anemometer– Measures airflow
• Calculator– Watts = .316 x CFM x ∆T

Summary
• Trends that are increasing– Wall-mount TE’s
– Pole-mount TE’s
– TE’s outside of traditional areas
– Need to use sealed or gasketed enclosures
– Thermal needs (cooling, heating, etc)
– Use of heat exchangers and air conditioners
– Security – access control and cameras
– Wi-Fi access
– OSP – need to include solar load
– Opportunity – more work!
