Datacenters-precision air conditioning

By Anonymous -
Air conditioning is one of the essential infrastructures for the operation of Information Technology equipment: processing and storage devices produce heat which has to be removed to maintain optimal operating conditions. Increasing use of IT technologies in every activity has made the continuity of service imperative, often spoken of as "Mission Critical" applications. The high power installed, up to 2 kW/m2, also requires the development of "Energy Saving" solutions. For the proper functioning of IT equipment, the inlet air must be at a controlled temperature (typically between 22 and 27°C) so that the fans of the devices can cool the chips inside. Moisture is also frequently controlled, since values that are too low increase the probability of electrostatic discharge while any excessive values accelerate corrosion or slow down the performance of some equipment.
The technological solution most widely used today is the so called Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) or Close Control Units (CCU) which, installed on the perimeter, provide for cooling the air in the room and any humidification or dehumidification to maintain the set point; these air conditioners are equipped with fans, cooling coils, with direct expansion or chilled water, and often heater humidifiers to correct the temperature if it reaches a minimum limit.
The continuous development of technology and the constant search for energy savings are reflected in an evolution of air-conditioning solutions: from monitoring the distribution of the air to the development of air conditioners placed near heat sources, using motors with permanent magnets for high efficiency, the use of Air Handling Units for free-cooling, where possible and by lowering the temperature with adiabatic humidifiers (Evaporative Cooling). Such a wide variety of configurations requires flexible control solutions, based on scalable, programmable controllers and equipped with a full range of accessories such as displays, sensors and communication modules, integrated in a system that includes high-efficiency devices such as the electronic expansion valve and drivers for brushless variable RPM compressors.

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen! Picture the scene, you've just downloaded a fresh new piece of software onto a controller but rather than the a new interface, you're met with a big fat 'NO LINK' message on the display. Or maybe you've just ran a factory reset to default settings and have come up against the same issue?  These are all possible causes for the common problem encountered by many of our customers, deemed the 'NO LINK' screen! (capitals for emphasis) As well as the two already mentioned, other common causes of the issue are a result of: A faulty connection between the Controller and the Display A faulty Controller  In any case, this issue is relatively simple to fix and our Managing Director, Stefano - having been in the Industry for 15+ years - has put together a video guide on how to do so. Watch the video below to see how to overcome the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!   www.i-acs.co.uk

For those who think that the new generation of innovative, automated HVAC control systems are a far-off thought, think again!  The new c.pCO Range by CAREL marks the arrival of their most intelligent range of controllers yet. Despite their compact design, the c.pCO Controllers are packed with new and exciting technologies offering a highly integrated solution to any kind of BMS System.  The versatile nature of the new standard controller (2 Ethernet, USB & RS485 Inputs Built In) opens doors to a wide range of communication protocols such as Modbus, BACNet,  HTTP, FTP  and loads more. The video below offers a detailed look into the new features and benefits of the c.pCO range. Worried about having to do a lot of work to replace older controllers? As if this wasn't enough, all c.pCO Controllers offer pin-to-pin compatibility with pCO5+, pCO5 and pCO3 controllers.  Get in touch now for more information! Peter Campbell Marketing

1tool is the development system for the Carel programmable control platform, consisting of six different environments in which the designer manages the application software in all its different stages: from design to simulation, to testing and debugging, to arrive at commissioning in the field. A fundamental feature of 1tool is integration. Because all the different environments are interconnected to best support development of the application software. Each environment is in fact dedicated to the realisation of a specific function and interacts with the others to offer the designer: -  Greater reliability thanks to real-time error notifications in the design stage; - Reduced development time using the advanced functions offered, first and foremost the new libraries of functional modules specific for HVAC/R; -  Flexibility in terms of software customisation. All these features, an intuitive graphic interface and user simplicity make 1tool an excellent product, responding to th
