Motivair Liquid Cooled Doors QuickSpecs
Table of Contents
Motivair Liquid Cooled Doors, or Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHX) is a liquid to air heat exchanger cooling system that removes the high levels of heat generated by today’s servers, mass storage, and core networking hardware
It is mounted directly to the rear panel of HPE racks. RDHX is compatible with 42U or 48U racks with a range of IT capacity when used under certain load and site conditions.
RDHX are designed to complement any new or existing datacenter by enabling computing power growth without adding to the heat load in the datacenter.
Overview
Airflow of RDHX fully supports industry-standard front-to-back cooling designs and standard server dimensions. Hot air exiting the rear of the servers is neutralized as the air is cooled down via the coils in the RDHX. The RDHX can connect directly to facility water feed or to a CDU depending on the dewpoint temperature of the datacenter room. Top or bottom liquid feed options are supported. Mural graphics on the Doors are also supported. RDHX can also be deployed with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) to increase the percentage of heat capture to water, meeting room-neutral requirements.
Standard Features
Key Features
General Solution
- – Liquid to air heat exchanger cooling system attached to back of a standard IT rack
- – Hot air exhaust from the server moves through cooling coils to remove the heat
Cooling Capacity (kW per rack)*
- – M8: 5-17 kW
- – M12: 14-35 kW
- – M14: 35-55 kW
- – M16: 55-75 kW (Only Available in 48Ux800mm)
