HP MCS cooling requirements

The HP MCS G2 adds minimal heat to the room because most of the heat generated inside the cabinet is removed through the chilled water loop. It exchanges a small amount of air with the room during normal operation. Depending on the room temperature, rack power consumption, and system configuration, up to 10 percent of the total internal heat load may pass into the room.

In anticipation of future heat loads, isolated-loop chilled water piping should be designed and installed to support the following:

•Specific heat load increments of 17.5 or 35kW

•The specific number of HP Modular Cooling Systems per row or loop

•Other site build-out planning parameters

As cooling, rack space, and equipment density requirements increase, additional HP MCS G2 systems can be quick-coupled into the isolated chilled water system. For detailed information, refer to the links provided in the “For More Information” section at the end of this document.

HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter

The HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter (POD) (Figure 11) is a containerized data center with power,

cooling, and IT equipment pre-Figure 11: HP POD 2000c installed. It has a complete closed-loop

cooling system. HP PODs are available as 20-foot or 40-foot containers. The 20-foot HP POD

2000c can contain up to ten 50U

19-inch industry-standard racks for a maximum power capacity of 290 kilowatts non-redundant or 145 kilowatts redundant.

The 40-foot maximum-density HP POD 4000c can contain twenty-two 50U,

19-inch industry-standard racks for a maximum power capacity of 600 kilowatts non-redundant or 380 kilowatts redundant.

With close-coupled temperature control, you can use higher chilled water supply temperatures to reduce power consumption of the chilled water supply.
