Overview


Data Center Cooling ModulesEnergy Efficiency at its finest.

Natural Free Cooling

Natural Free Cooling is AST Modular's propretary indirect free cooling technology that through a passive air to air heat exchanger leverages temperature differences between outside cold air and hot air coming from the servers. NFC provides multiple types of economization as it is capable to select between air-to-air, adiabatic and traditional cooling to cool the data center in the most efficient way.

Direct Free Cooling

Direct Free Cooling Modules are a cooling solutions able to leverage outdoor fresh air by driving it from the outside to the inside of the data center. Direct Free Cooling generates significant savings since in certain locations data centers operators can take full advantage of free cooling for several hours of the day without the need of expensive mechanical cooling.

Chilled Water Block

Chilled Water Block Modules are a water based datacenter cooling technology whose water coil surface is extended compared to the one of a traditional Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC). The extended cooling surface of the coil allows the chiller to supply water at higher temperatures thus resulting in improved energy efficiency.

Hot Corridor Exchanger

HCX Modules are a water based overhead cooling technology composed of variable-speed fans and a water coil whose surface is bigger than the one of nn row cooling technologies. The extended surface of the coil allows the chiller to supply water at higher temperatures, thus resulting in improved energy efficiency. HCX Modules are a compact solution specifically suitable for all environments where IT space is at a premium.

AST Modular has engineered 4 ultra energy efficient cooling solutions applicable to both modular and traditional datacenters to reduce energy consumption and improve datacenter footprint.


Natural Free CoolingSecure and Ultra Energy Efficient Indirect Free Cooling

TECHNOLOGY

Natural Free Cooling, a worldwide patented AST Modular’s technology, is indirect air to air and adiabatic cooling solution that leverages temperature differences between outside cold air and hot air coming out of the servers. Thanks to its heat pipe exchanger technology and the intelligent control system NFC provides multiple types of economization. Natural Free Cooling can select between air-to-air, adiabatic and mechanical cooling to run your mission critical applications in the most efficient way.

MULTI ECONOMIZATION EXPLAINED

NFC capitalize free cooling at 100% with dry bulb temperatures below 20° C/68 F. They operate with adiabatic cooling with wet bulb temperatures below 20 ° C/68 F and are supported by a traditional datacenter chiller when ASHRAE’s temperature and humidity ranges cannot be met, specifically with wet bulb temperatures above 20° C/68 F. Unlike direct free cooling systems, NFC Modules are the first solution in the market able to prevent cross contamination and humidity within the datacenter. The exhaust air coming from the servers is cooled inside segregated chambers and no outdoor air is introduced into the IT space. As a result the datacenter remains as a sealed enclosure, unaffected by external conditions such as humidity, pollution, corrosive gases, and particles. This approach drastically reduces filter, maintenance, and fan power costs, thus resulting in added security, resiliency and much better energy efficiency than direct free cooling technologies.

MODULARITY

Natural Free Cooling is available in 50kw individual modules. This scalable approach enables the customer to purchase only the cooling capacity needed to meet current requirements. Additional NFC modules can be added as the data center load grows.


Direct Free CoolingReduce chillers usage

TECHNOLOGY

Direct Free Cooling Modules are a cooling solutions able to leverage outdoor fresh air by driving it from the outside to the inside of the data center. Direct Free Cooling generates significant savings since in certain locations data centers operators can take full advantage of free cooling for several hours of the day without the need of expensive mechanical cooling. Indeed the back-up cooling support embedded into DFC Modules is activated only when ASHRAE recommended temperature levels cannot be met and specifically beyond 27°C/80.6F external dry bulb temperature.

OPERATIONS

Phase 1External Temperature < 18ºC/64.4F. The dampers of DFC Modules mix the outside fresh air with the hot air coming from the datacenter to achieve thecorrect supply conditions. The outside air is filtered before entering the IT area. Filtering is performed accordingto site conditions and the level of security required and part of the air coming from the datacenter is exhausted towards the outside with intake air pressure given by the fan. Variable speed fans together with dampers match the airflow needed to cool the datacenter to the temperature required. Phase 218ºC/64.4F < External Temperature < 27ºC/80.6F. The outdoor air is blown into the cold corridor and no outside air is mixed with the hot air coming from thedatacenter. The whole of the hot air coming from the servers is exhausted towards the outside with intake air pressure given by the fan. Variable speed fans match the airflow needed to cool the datacenter to the temperature required. The maximum external temperature allowed inside the cold corridor varies upon design conditions and compliance with ASHRAE limits. Phase 3External Temperature > 27ºC/80.6F No free cooling is available, hence the mechanical support cooling system is in use. The system recirculates the air from the hot to the cold corridor and cools down the servers to the desired temperature and upon design conditions.Two cooling systems are available: Chilled water (CW) or Direct expansion (DX). Variable speed fans match the airflow needed to cool the datacenter to the temperature required.

MODULARITY

DFC Modules are available in 50kw individual modules. This scalable approach enables the customer to purchase only the cooling capacity needed to meet current requirements. Additional DFC units can be added as the data center load grows and installed in a “live environment” without disruption to the service.


Chilled Water BlockEnhanced Chilled Water Effiiciency

TECHNOLOGY

Chilled Water Block Modules are a water based datacenter cooling technology whose water coil surface is extended compared to the one of a traditional Computer Room Air Conditioning. The extended cooling surface of the coil allows the chiller to supply water at higher temperatures thus resulting in improved energy efficiency.

MAIN COMPONENTS

MODULES

CWB Modules are available in 100 KW and 150 KW models. This scalable approach enables the customer to purchase only the cooling capacity needed to meet current requirements. Additional CWB modules can be added as the data center load grows and installed in a ‘live environment’ without disruption to the service.



TECHNOLOGY

HCX Modules are a water based overhead cooling technology composed of variable-speed fans and a water coil whose surface is bigger than the one of In Row Cooling units. The extended surface of the coil allows the chiller to supply water at higher temperatures, thus resulting in improved energy efficiency. Dependent upon design conditions the water can be supplied up to 17°C/62.6F. Originally engineered for containerized datacenters HCX Modules are a compact solution specifically suitable for all data center environments where valuable IT space is a critical business requirement and specifically modular datacenters.

OPERATIONS

Hot Air comes from the serversHot air is ducted through the coilHot Air is cooled down by the coilCold Air is blown back into the servers

MODULES

HCX Modules are available in the following 7,5 Kw/Rack and 20 Kw/Rack modules. This scalable and approach enables the customer to purchase only the cooling capacity needed to meet current requirements. Additional HCX Modules can be added as the data center load grows and installed in a “live environment” without disruption to the service.
