Ambient air is pulled into the cabinet by the active equipment fans – the hot air
produced by the equipment passes over a heat exchanger matrix, either by its own
velocity or being pulled through via EC centrifugal fans mounted in the CL20 door. The
heat is rejected to coolant and chilled air is passed back into the room at a
predetermined ambient temperature.
The coolers can be sited within an existing data centre to work with existing computer
room air-conditioning to provide additional cooling. They also reduce energy
consumption, remove hot spots and can be retrofitted to existing or new build OEM
cabinets using an interface frame or fitted directly to a ColdLogik compliant USpace
cabinet.
To gain the optimum energy performance from ColdLogik, the coolers should be
deployed as a single source – i.e. used to control the entire computer room / data
centre without additional air conditioning, including retrofit scenarios.

ColdLogik CL20 Rear Door Cooler
Each rear cooler is intelligently managed for optimum efficiency by embedded computers which
continually adjust the operational parameters in response to the heat removal demands placed on the
system. By making these continual load adjustments, the CMS controllers maintain the room ambient
temperature There’s more information about CMS on page 20-21

Another unique but important attribute of the ColdLogik solution is the option of a patented Leak Prevention System
(LPS), which is incorporated within the Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU).
As water is present in most data centres, they have the same inherent weaknesses – such as leak detection systems
shutting down parts of the cooling system when moisture is detected.
In the event of a pipework breach, the LPS – Leak Prevention System – stops water escaping from the pipework and allows
the cooling system to continue running unimpaired, providing uptime, safety and system resilience.

When all the facts are taken into account, our bold claim
of 90% energy savings over and above standard computer
room aircon systems is easily justified.

A proven solution
ColdLogik Rear Door Coolers replace the traditional approach to data centre
cooling, allowing loads of up to 92kW per cabinet with the added benefit of
removing real estate inherent with hot aisle/cold aisle, in row cooling, CRAC
cooling and aisle containment designs.
ColdLogik Rear Door Coolers allow supply water temperatures to rise from the
traditional 50°F/10°C for CRAH systems to between 57°F/13.9°C and 79°F/26.1°C,
reducing chiller size and energy costs. They also increase the availability of energy

The CL20 Smart Passive is designed with sustainability in mind, allowing you to plan
for the future without discarding a proven energy efficient solution of today. This
has been achieved by providing a unique upgrade path from a self cooling passive
RDC to a proactively cooled RDC able to fully control both the environment within
the cabinet and the room temperature itself.
Anticipating the next generation computer chip sets, heat load densities are set to
rise in the next few years—will have major ramifications on the decisions you make
today in designing your data centre with an upgrade path allowing for such higher
density equipment.
The Smart Passive enables the installation of a passive solution now, without it be-
coming redundant once there is such a change in new active equipment.
The CL20 Smart Passive is available as a complete cabinet solution and is also com-
patible with the ColdLogik Adaptor frame enabling existing OEM or populated cabi-
nets to be retrofitted on site without disruption.
Smart Passive
Thermistors are positioned within the cabinet which are controlled by the introduc-
tion of the ColdLogik Management System and the system is ready to run.
At this point there is also the option to add in an additional two way valve to more
accurately control the water flow and therefore the returning air to the room ambi-
ent, the CMS has capacity for the specific valve operation included as standard. The
addition of such a 2 way valve can greatly increase the efficiency of inverter driven
pumps on site by reducing the volumetric load required through the coil and still
maintaining the desired room ambient temperature.
The further two upgrades consist of single fan upgrades. This allows for an im-
proved duty that is available from the door whilst still maintaining the room tem-
perature required. When these additional fans are added to also become part of
the centrally controlled bank and will respond with all other fans to ensure smooth
performance and maximum efficiency.

Under the right circumstances and with the correct active equipment in the cabinet, CL20 Smart Passive rear door
coolers can make a tremendous difference to an individual sites efficiency - more commonly referred to as ‘PUE’.
Given this correct design environment in some Data Centres passive doors can make a real difference to the operation.

An active CL20 door is up to 90% more efficient operationally than a traditional CRAC system
Where the CL20 Smart Passive really excels is the flexibility the upgrade path can provide in a typical data
centre environment. Through a variety of methods, whether through a ‘Pay as you grow’ methodology
which would allow you to incrementally upgrade the door over periods of time in reaction to increases in
duty, or though an efficiency drive to see if the passive will suffice before upgrading should the need arise -
ensuring the highest possible efficiency.

One of the biggest advantages of the CL20 Rear Door Cooler is its
ability attach to a USystems cabinet or another manufacturers
cabinet via an interface frame.
The frame brings many of the benefits of the CL20 cooler family
without the need to decommission old cabinets – or even entire
data centres.

The CMS is built into the cooler. It ensures all variants of the ColdLogik
system operate on a ‘sensible cooling’ principle – ‘water above dew
point’ – and the system remaining free of condensation. The ColdLogik Management System (CMS)
The ColdLogik Rear Door Cooler is AC powered in the range 196-253Vac/50-60Hz/12.5A (max) and can be wired Phase
to Neutral or Phase to Phase thus covering most configurations. Phase to Neutral or Phase to Phase must be specified
at the time of ordering. Dual supply (A&B) is incorporated as standard—the system has internal switchover and alarm
functions.
A separate protective earth connection must be provided. The site must provide an appropriately rated single pole
disconnect per door (either MCB or Contactor) for Phase to Neutral systems, and a dual pole disconnect for Phase to
Phase systems so that both break simultaneously. Maximum rating 20A.
In order to better serve our customers we now offer both of these options on the CMS system.
Please see below a brief and basic explanation on the power scenarios typically found where the CMS box is installed.
Page 22
The ColdLogik Management System (CMS) is configurable to suit each installation and includes these functions:
• Communication protocols Modbus, TCP/IP and RS-485, optional SNMP and BACnet protocols
• Network BMS or volt free contact connections for room monitoring 50+ alarms, including individual fan fail
alarm and a common alarm
Options:
• Power monitoring
• System display monitor and log up to 300 CMS via the RMS
Page 23
ColdLogik CL20 Rear Door Cooler
The ColdLogik solution may be supplied with an optional Room Management System (RMS). The Unit can
be fitted in or outside of the DC at the entrance to the data hall for instance, monitoring the operational
condition of the DC or any individual connected item.
It is designed to provide ‘all’ details of the ColdLogik Data Centre cooling, interfacing before the Building
Management System, but working with any BMS installed (Modbus, TC/IP protocol).
The RMS uses Modbus over TCP/IP communication to access information from each ColdLogik unit (CMS -
ColdLogik Management System – built into each cooler).
The RMS has IP address (Network port), six USB ports and options to upgrade the built-in software with vari-
ous ‘control or logic’ options. The unit is “bare” until the ColdLogik installation data is programmed in.
User interface provides:
• A list of all devices including—In row Coolers, Rear Door Coolers, External plant, LPS
• Monitoring & logging of alarms – both active and cleared
• Monitoring of parameter changes including a log of changed details
• Logging of actual system parameters
• Output of history/logged information
• Different alarm priorities with e-mail alarm output
• Remote access via network or independent SIM/router (as an option)
• BMS output Modbus via TCP/IP – BACnet client and BACnet server available as options
• Parameter changes (including alarm reset) via password protected access
Page 24
The ColdLogik Room Management System (RMS) is the complete and reliable solution for management,
monitoring and optimisation of data centre cooling. It may work with a BMS providing more detailed in-
formation and allowing greater in-depth management of the ‘white space’ within the Data Hall.
Secure remote access is also available, as an option, allowing USystems to provide both training and sup-
port as required.
A keyboard, mouse and monitor may be attached to the RMS for local access.
The RMS is password protected and allows remote viewing of monitored conditions on the ColdLogik
CMS. Four user types may be configured on the RMS allowing different levels of access to the RMS facili-
ties.
Cooler notifications and alarms may be transmitted by email, SMS or IM as well as being displayed on the
RMS. There are also three no-volts relays for connection to legacy BMS systems, if required.
Customised reports may be created with PDF, CSV or HTML output format.
Parameter changes may be broadcast to individual or multiple cabinets and the RMS can reset concluded
CMS alarms.
