Extreme High Density EHD 6*
Overview
The Extreme High-Density (EHD) 6 was designed specifically utilizing AFCO System’s room-balancing Kool-IT™ technology to handle heat loads of up to 16kW within conventional datacenter design. At these densities, clients can postpone the need to deploy CAPEX-intensive, water-cooled enclosures and the increased maintenance associated with them. The industry’s desire to deploy blade center technology drove the EHD 6 design and our unique rear plenum extension to handle blade chassis’ high-pressure airflow. Engineered for extreme, high-density applications, the exceptional thermal control is achieved through continuous monitoring and management of exhaust temperatures and fan speed regulation through voltage modulation. This, in conjunction with the adjustable plenum apertures and vertical exhaust plenum compartment, maintains the desired enclosure temperature set point.
Kool-IT™ Technology
The EHD 6 utilizes AFCO’s advanced Kool-IT™ air-cooled technology engineered to accommodate blade servers’ extremely high densities.
The system acts as an extension of the CRAC, giving datacenter managers control of air temperature at the enclosure level. This system actively monitors and balances internal heat loads, utilizing under-floor cool air and ambient computer room temperature, ensuring a stable and reliable operating environment.
The EHD 6 also communicates with AFCO’s resource manager, which reads the EHD, displays equipment status and creates alarm and event notifications.
