2 Introduction Contents Technology Description/Attributes Installation Analysis Metrics, Methods, Metering, Test Description Results Next Steps Conclusions 2

3 Project funding Introduction California Energy Commission (CEC) APC: In-kind Funding LBNL Role - Identify and demonstrate new data center energy saving technologies Goal - Reduction or Elimination of Compressor Cooling Technology Selected: APC dual heat exchanger InRow Cooler Status: Initial trial setup and data collection completed 3

4 APC Unit Description Fans (3 EC type) Air to Water Heat Exchanger (chilled water) Cooled Air Leaving Air to Water Heat Exchanger ( treated water) Air to Water Hex (chilled) Chilled Water Modulating Valve Air to Water Hex (treated) IT Rack IT Rack Hot Aisle IT Rack IT Rack IT Rack IT Rack Treated Water Modulating Valve Chilled Water Connection treated Water Connection Hot Air Entering filter IT Rack IT Rack Cold Aisle IT Rack IT Rack Hot Aisle IT Rack IT Rack 4

5 Product Attributes Redundancy: dual water cooling loops and heat exchangers Self contained: additional CRAH/CRAC units not required Use min. chilled water use only where/when needed for data center hot spots Some additional plumbing required 5

6 APC Unit Installation Building 50 Data Center Rm 1275 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Front Air Exit Cold Aisle Rear Air Entry Hot Aisle Front Door Display/Control Filter 6

7 COP Metric Definition COP [ kw thermal / kw elec. ] = cooling provided / power needed cooling provided (kw) = treated water cooling + chilled water cooling APC Unit Power power needed (kw) = (kw/ton * tons) + (kw/ton * tons) + APC Unit Power APC Unit Power 7

8 Electrical Power Needed (kw/ton) Plant Model ASHRAE 90.1 Code Minimum Water-Side Economizer Equipped Santa Clara CA Climate Year Average (Taylor Engineering) kw/ton vs. Chilled Water Temperature (CWT) distribution pumping included Santa Clara CA Year Average (CHWT) y = x x x Chilled Cooling Water Water Temperature ( F) Taylor Engineering Heavy Use of Chiller Little or No Chiller Use (water side economizer) aka treated 8

9 Test Methods Short duration preliminary tests Manual Mode Test 1: cooling tower only (single coil) Test 2: chilled water only (single coil) Test 3: chilled and treated water combined (both coils) Key Metric Coefficient of Performance (COP) 9

11 Preliminary Results: Compare Cooling Modes (manual operation, valves 100% open, slow speed) Energy Rate (kw thermal, kw electrical) COP (kw/kw) Chilled Water Chilled Water Cooling Net Cooling APC Power Required COP 0.58 kw/ton Chilled+ Treated Water Treated H2O Cooling Chilled Water Cooling Net Cooling APC Power Required COP 0.46 kw/ton Treated H2O Cooling Treated Water Net Cooling APC Power Required COP 0.28 kw/ton Chilled Water Only Cooling Treated + Chilled Cooling Treated Water Only Cooling 11

14 Next Steps Test control system temperature modulation, fan speed (data presented not typical in some cases manual mode) Test at various output set point temperatures Monitor cfm/kw supported Investigate power used and COP change at high fan speeds Longer term test Test performance when both coils use treated water Test with warmer air inlet Re-check air temperature sensor calibration 14

15 Conclusions Test setup working Efficiency Points Chilled water ~14kW cooling (4 tons) at COP =6 (0.58kW/ton) Treated water ~14kW cooling (4 tons) at COP =12 (0.28kW/ton) Unit appears to support typical server cfm/kw E.g. treated water test = ~1000cfm for ~5kW cooling ( cfm/kW) Compare to others Chilloff 2 Results (Row Coolers) SCOPc = ~6 using ~45 F cooling water COP this test = ~6 using 47 F cooling water 15
