There's a new way datacenters can be cooled, and it is more efficient than traditional methods. The Sun Cooling Door Systems attach to the back of Sun Blade modular systems, removing heat right at the source with a choice of using either chilled water or refrigerants.

Housed in the rear-door of Sun Blade 6048 Modular System, Sun's new cooling system can cool cabinets housing power loads of up to 35 kilowatts. The Sun Cooling Door employs a passive design that doesn’t require additional fans to circulate air like traditional methods.

In a typical datacenter, fans must recirculate hot air through a few cooling units distributed at the datacenter edges. For today's powerful, dense compute systems, these methods impose their own electrical demands and waste energy moving air around.

With Sun Cooling Door Systems, customers can get up to 35 kW of cooling capacity per door (compare to 5 kW with traditional raised floor cooling), a quieter and more reliable cooling systems than traditional ones, and up to 100% of generated heat removed.

For a datacenter providing 1 MW of power to compute servers, Sun reports its Sun Cooling Door Systems can save up to 3.5 million kWh per year, or 2130 MT of CO2 emissions per year.

CHOICE OF COOLING TECHNOLOGY

Sun Cooling Door 5200 System

Using chilled water from any appropriate source that can maintain a controlled temperature and flow rate, this Sun Cooling Door System leverages the air movement generated by the blade chassis fans, removing heat with no additional fans or electricity.

Features and Benefits:

• Can leverage existing chilled-water datacenter infrastructures
• Adds only 6.3 inches to chassis, minimizing datacenter footprint
• 42 rack unit
• Requires a 1-inch pipe connection, providing users the option of a water line feed from overhead or under the floor.
• Weighs 198 pounds empty and 214 pounds when filled

Sun Cooling Door 5600 System

The Sun Cooling Door 5600 System uses refrigerant gas cooling technology.

Features and Benefits:

• Leverages state-of-the-art refrigerant-based technology: Liebert XD cooling systems, which use an inert refrigerant gas called R134a.
• Adds only 5.9 inches to chassis, minimizing datacenter footprint
• Weights 130 pounds empty and 141 pounds when filled
