HP Performance Optimized Data Center (POD) 40c Water quality requirements and specifications

Page 57

The minimum HP server inlet temperature is 10°C (50°F). For non-HP equipment, consult the documentation for that equipment.

Water quality requirements and specifications

The following are the water quality requirements and specifications:

•Closed-loop water must not contain any lime scale deposits or loose debris.

•The temperature of the chilled water supplied to the HP POD 40c G2 must be 12ºC to 24ºC (55ºF to 75ºF).

CAUTION: Freezing water can cause a blockage and damage to the unit. In outside locations that are subject to freezing temperatures, an additive such as glycol might be necessary to lower the freezing point. However, since the heat transfer potential of water with glycol is lower, the HP POD 40c G2 must be de-rated accordingly.

IMPORTANT: The chilled water system piping and heat exchangers must be drained completely, and then purged using compressed air when storing or transporting at or below freezing temperatures.

IMPORTANT: Operating the chilled water system at the higher end of the acceptable range decreases the overall thermal capacity of the POD.

Acceptable water quality specifications

Water must be maintained per the following acceptable water quality standards.
