Cost effective cooling

Rittal’s roof-mounted chimney module, a one piece duct assembly on top of the TS IT enclosure for airflow management, was found to work perfectly with the ecofris cooling solution from Keysource.

A passive system requiring neither fans nor electrical connections, the chimney module permits the hot and cold air to be separated efficiently, eliminating the hot aisle, as the exhausted heat is contained within the chimney system. 

Rittal says that use of its chimney modules allows the cooling system in the room to work to its full potential, delivering a PUE of 1.2 or less, achievable even with a partial load.

Dominic Phillips, MD of Datum, said: "The result is a complete alignment of our energy efficient goals with those of our clients delivering a reduced carbon footprint and cost.”
