Intelligent positioning of components ensures a flow-optimized design

Thanks to their flow-optimized design, our CyberWall units have the lowest pressure drops and therefore achieve the greatest possible energy savings, which are immediately noticeable. The components are arranged to ensure maximum utilization of the heat exchangers and uniform air distribution along the entire length of the aisle.

CFD analysis for optimizing operation

In order to avoid pressure losses and to ensure an even temperature distribution, a comprehensive CFD analysis was made during the development of the CyberWall. The results enabled us to test and optimize the flow in all areas of the CyberWall. The outcome is a perfectly uniform flow through the heat exchanger, which maximizes cooling capacity while simultaneously minimizing fan power input.

Modular design for container transport

Solution:

Due to its dimensions and design, this solution fits into a standardized shipping container. The unit can be reassembled and rewired on site using minimal labor. An integrated module for combining outside air and recirculated air allows efficient use of Direct Free Cooling. Air discharge sound attenuators reduce noise emissions.

Modular Split AHU

Requirements:

Maximum cooling capacity in a single unit
Addition of modules while the data center is in operation
Dimensions and weight optimized for service elevators and transport routes

Solution:

Due to the vertical center split, the air handling unit fits into service elevators and can be maneuvered within confined spaces. The modular design allows easy on-site expansion with minimum effort.
