TECHNICAL FEATURES
HIGH DENSITY Close control chilled water air conditioners for
Datacentres with high thermal load density
This series of units is designed for use in datacenters for the air conditioning
of high thermal load density equipment (such as racks housing blade servers,
which may need to dissipate up to 30 kW of sensible heat).
This solution implements in-row cooling for equipment expressly designed for
incorporation in hot aisle cold aisle layouts.
The operation can be concisely characterised as follows: the racks draw in cool
air from the front and discharge warm air at the rear. The racks are arranged in
opposing rows so that they are facing one another; this results in the creation
of alternate cold aisles (in front of the racks) and hot aisles (behind the racks).
The primary cool air is usually supplied from under the floor by HPAC units
located at the periphery of the room or outside it. The high density units,
designated COOLBLADE, draw in local air from the hot aisle and discharge
cool air to the cold aisle. The units are installed alongside the high density
dissipation racks.
COOLBLADE units are close control chilled water air conditioners without
regulation valve, modulation of cooling capacity being managed by means
of ventilation (control of fan rotation speed with phase cut regulator), with
reference to a temperature probe located on the air intake.
In case the COOLBLADE units were not connected to the COOLMATE pumping
module, it is desirable that inlet water temperature is controlled to a value above
the dew point of the room to be conditioned, in order to avoid condensation
occurrence.

COOLBLADE
DIMENSIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS
COOLBLADE unit dimensions are 300 x 1000 x 2000 (width x depth x height),
which is the same as that of the racks to be conditioned. They are close control
chilled water air conditioners equipped with exchangers having finned coil and
copper tubes, fans, air filter, hydraulic circuit and electrical panel.
The air is drawn in from the rear, filtered and cooled, and then expelled from
the front thanks to the action of fans located downstream of the exchanger
coil, evenly distributed over the frontal surface area in order to ensure uniform
air distribution.
UNIT FRAME
The structural frame is composed of galvanized sheet metal, externaly epoxy
powder coated, internaly insulated with open-cell form. This type of panel is
designed to ensure a good level of thermal and acoustic insulation. Air tightness
is ensured by adhesive seals located around the entire perimeter of each panel.
The colour is RAL7016 anthracite grey with orange peel finish. The uprights and
internal panels are made of galvanized sheet steel.
The electrical cabinet front panel is openable by means of a turn lock
so that the internal parts can be easily inspected. For routine maintenance,
frontal and rear access to relevant parts (electrical switchboard, air filter and
differential pressure switches) is available, while for major maintenance (fans,
air treatement coil) access to hydraulic and electrical components is given from
the two sides of the unit only, removing the closing panels; the unit must be
withdrawn from the final installation position (between two of the datacenter
racks), after previously disconnecting the hydraulic connections.
All the structural materials are recyclable and CFC free.
FANS
The units are equipped with 3 (COOLBLADE 15) or 5 (COOLBLADE 30) diagonal
fans with integral suction nozzle. A 2-pole motor is directly coupled to each fan
with rotation speed governed by an electronic phase cut regulator in compliance
with the unit air intake temperature.
The fans are located on the front of the unit downstream of the treatment coils
and are accessible from the two sides of the unit by removing the two side
panels. For this purpose, the unit must be withdrawn from the final installation
position (between two of the datacenter racks), after previously disconnecting
the hydraulic connections.
Each fan is equipped with integral thermal protection.
This type of fan combines excellent airflow capacity, typical of axial fans,
with adequate static pressure, similar to that of centrifugal fans, while
simultaneously adapting to match the relatively limited available space without
having to use pulley and belt transmission systems with the related additional
maintenance requirements.
The average airflow value is 50 l/s per kW of sensible cooling capacity.
The fan airflow is constantly monitored by a differential pressure switch, which
triggers an alarm in the event of insufficient airflow conditions.
AIR FILTER
The air filter features G2 filtration class and is designed to minimise pressure
drops while maintaining an adequate level of filtration, keeping in mind that
room air conditioning is general present with relevant filtration. The filters
are 100 mm thick, pleated in order to get the maximum filtering surface. The
filter is removable from the rear of the unit. This possible uppon request to
supply COOLBLADE with G3 or G4 filters, with reduction of aeraulic and cooling
performances.
ELECTRICAL PANEL
The electrical panel is contained in an enclosure that is accessible from the
front of the unit. It incorporates a six- pole 1-0-2 selector to switch between
two alternative single phase power sources. Said selector also functions as a
main disconnect device for each of the two power supplies.
The panel also features a main automatic circuit breaker, the phase cut fan
speed regulator and an isolation transformer to feed power to the control
high density
electronics, based on a microprocessor board and a display.
The standard electrical power input is 230V/1ph~/50Hz for both unit sizes.
In addition to the information given in the preceding heading, the electrical
panel also contains a microprocessor to control the following parameters /
functions:
STANDARD FEATURES
In addition to the matters described in the above headings, the standard
features of COOLBLADE units include:
- hydraulic connections available both on the top and on the base of the unit
to allow connection freedom in accordance with plant requirements

ACCESSORIES
Condensate discharge pump strongly recommended when hydraulic
connections are at top of unit
Lack of water flow alarm (flow switch supplied as separate kit for installation
and electrical connection at customers care).
For Coolblade 30 model, flow switch could be single or double; in the former
case the two hydraulic circuits of the unit shall be connected in parallel
and the flow switch placed in a common branch; in the latter case the
two hydraulic circuits are fed independently and each flow switch shall be
placed in each single branch (electrical connection shall be in parallel). See
hydraulic and electrical diagrams for further details.
Serial boards for supervision and remote service: a serial board can be installed in
order to connect the unit to remote supervision and diagnostic systems; depending
on the required communication protocol, various options are available:
- RS485 card for communication with Carel and Modbus networks.
- LonWorks network connection card (FTT10 interface).
- BACnet networks connection card, type RS485 MS/TP.
- Ethernet network card.
COOLMATE
DIMENSIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS
The dimensions of COOLMATE hydraulic decoupling units are 705 mm x 650 mm x 1490
mm (width x depth x height) and they are equipped with a brazed plate water/water
exchanger, servo-driven three-way control valve (mixing on the secondary circuit), two
circulators (redundant design) on the secondary circuit, ambient temperature/humidity
probe and water outlet temperature probe.
The on-board microprocessor controller calculates the dew point of the room to be
conditioned and modulates the valve to maintain the water outlet temperature at
a certain differential with respect to the mentioned dew point of the conditioned
room in order to cause the COOLBLADE units connected to the COOLMATE hydraulic
decoupling module to produce exclusively sensible cooling capacity.
A modulating signal that is proportional to the outlet temperature of the secondary
hydraulic circuit is transmitted to alter, if necessary, the water temperature at the
outlet from the primary hydraulic circuit of the COOLMATE (e.g. a dedicated chiller).
Hydraulic connections of COOLMATE units are taken from below, it is however
possible as an option to have the connections supplied on top of the unit.
UNIT FRAME
The cabinet is made out of epoxy-polyester powder coated sheet metal, with
orange-peel finish. Vertical struts and internal walls are made out of hot-dip
galvanized sheet metal. The panels are internally insulated with fibreglass
wool to obtain fire insulation class A1 (according to EN13501). This type of
panel provides a good level of thermal and acoustic insulation and it has a
RAL7016 epoxy powder coating on the exterior with orange peel finish. The
uprights and internal panels are made of galvanized sheet steel.
The electrical cabinet front panel is openable by means of a handle so that
the interior can be easily inspected. Access to all the hydraulic and electrical
components of the unit is possible from the front; this solution avoids the need
for any operations at the side of the unit and dispenses with the need to leave
free clearance around COOLMATE units for technical reasons.
It is possible to get access to pumping set by removing two side panels; it is
however necessary in this case to foresee adequate clearance by the unit sides.
All the structural materials are recyclable and CFC free.
high density
The on-board microprocessor controller calculates the dew point of the air
conditioned room in accordance with the parameters read by the temperature
/ relative humidity probe. The controller correlates the dew point value with
the water outlet temperature of the secondary circuit as read by the relative
probe and, by means of a specific PID algorithm, it modulates the 3-way valve
to maintain the water outlet temperature at a certain differential with respect
to the mentioned dew point of the air conditioned room in order to cause the
COOLBLADE units connected to the COOLMATE hydraulic decoupling module to
produce exclusively sensible cooling capacity.
ELECTRICAL PANEL
The standard power electrical power input is 400V/3ph~/50Hz for both unit
sizes, and the electrical panel is accommodated in an enclosure accessible from
the front of the unit. The panel is equipped with the following components:
main switch

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- Always consult the attached wiring diagram, which gives all the necessary
instructions to make the required electrical connections.
- Power-on the COOLBLADE units by setting the 6-pole selector to 1 or 2
depending on which of the two available power sources is to be used.
- Power-on the COOLMATE units by setting the 3-pole circuit breaker to 1.
- Before accessing internal parts of the COOLBLADE unit, disconnect the
power supply by turning the 6-pole selector (which also functions as a
circuit breaker) to position 0.
- Before accessing internal parts of the COOLMATE unit, disconnect the
high density
power supply by turning the 3-pole circuit breaker to position 0.
- The power feeding line must be protected in compliance with the
prescriptions of statutory legislation.
- Electrical connections to be made for COOLBLADE units: each of the two
power sources of the COOLBLADE unit must be connected by means of
a three-core power cable comprising a live, neutral and protective earth
conductor, an external permissive cable, and a cable to connect a remote
alarm.
- Electrical connections to be made for COOLMATE units: the unit must be
connected by means of a four-core power cable comprising three phase
conductors and one protective earth conductor; a cable is also required for
connection of a remote alarm.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
- The hydraulic circuit must be accurately air vented, with pumps off, by using
the Coolblade and Coolmate air vent valves (in case of hydraulic connections
on the bottom). This procedure is extremely important because even small
air bubbles will impair the performance of the finned core exchanger
installed in the COOLBLADE units. In case the hydraulic connections are
on the top, air vent valves shall be placed at customers care on the highest
part of the plant
- Assemble the hydraulic circuit using the usual components required for
closed circuit hydraulic systems (e.g. expansion vessel, flow switch, bleed
valves, shut-off valves, antivibration couplings, etc.)
