The most common types are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Down-flow \u2013 this is the most common type of server room air conditioner experienced in enterprise data centres. The term downflow refers to the way the air moves through the unit. In this configurations exhaust air from the servers enters the top of the AHU, is pulled across a cooling coil and blown, by internal fans, into the data centre\u2019s under-floor plenum. These units generally have EU4 filtration or similar internally and can be combined with direct fresh air systems. Downflow units are deployed using either chilled water or direct expansion cooling systems, or a combination of the two together in some free-cooling applications.\n<\/li>\n<li>Up-flow \u2013 generally only encountered in legacy data centres up flow air handling units work the opposite way to downflow units. Due to advances in aisle containment technology and data centre design up flow units are very rarely deployed in new data centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both Down-flow and Up-flow AHU\u2019s are often still referred to as CRAC Units or simply CRAC\u2019s, from their historic name i.e. Computer Room Air Conditioning Units<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In-Row \u2013 originally brought to market by APC most AHU manufacturers now have an in-row product offering. Whereas up and downflow systems move the air vertically in-row units move air horizontally, pulling it directly from the hot aisle, cooling it, then delivering it directly to the cold aisle. Within certain sets of physical constraints, in-row units do have advantages over vertical airflow systems. In-rows are very efficient in their use of fan energy as there is no external resistance to the airflow and they offer high cooling duties relative to their footprint.\n<\/li>\n<li>Rear door heat exchangers \u2013 both active and passive rear door systems, like in-row systems, move the air horizontally. Rear door systems place the cooling coils at the rear of the server cabinet and can support very high densities. They are extremely space efficient and offer even greater cooling duty per m2 of floor space than In-row cooling. With good design and the right configuration of heat rejection plant, they can provide exceptional energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Soleil Regular||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#4A4A4A&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Soleil Bold|700||on|||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0C435E&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;35px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Why Choose Future-tech?<\/h3>\n<p>These are some of the more common server room air conditioners and CRAC systems used in today\u2019s data centre air handling. There are others and it is important to note is that each configuration will have different pro\u2019s and con\u2019s depending upon the particular requirements and constraints of each application.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to data centre air flow there is no \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution. Depending on the physical constraints associated with your specific building or location any of the above could be best. By working with Future-Tech we can help establish your project\u2019s unique drivers, requirements and constraints and with this information we will select the air handling solution that best achieves your projects goals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
