American Power Conversion DX, FM manual Return air relative humidity

Page 46

Dehumidify deadband. The Dehumidify mode splits the deadband into equal segments according to the number of Modules in the System. A Module is then assigned to each segment of the deadband above the setpoint. When the return air relative humidity exceeds the relative humidity associated with that segment, the compressors in that Module engage and run until the relative humidity drops below that segment.

To set the dehumidify deadband for your System:

1.Determine the number of Modules in your System (1-3).

2.Multiply the number of Modules in your System by two.

3.Use this number as your dehumidify deadband setting. This assigns each Module a 2% RH segment of the deadband above the setpoint.

4.Adjust the deadband setting higher or lower to increase or decrease the speed at which the System can respond to rising relative humidity.

The following graphic is an example of a two-Module System that is using full dehumidification capacity (tandem compressors working together as one). The setpoint is 55% RH and the deadband is 4% RH. The compressors of each Module engage as the return air relative humidity reaches their segment of the deadband above the setpoint. When the return air humidity drops below the humidity assigned to them, those compressors disengage.

Return air relative humidity

Caution: If a deadband setting is too narrow, it will cause the System to engage the compressors in response to a small humidity change. Since the compressors must run for a minimum period to avoid damage, this could overly dehumidify the room.

Caution: If a deadband setting is too wide, the System will not engage all of its dehumidification capacity until the return air humidity is significantly above the setpoint.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
