CPI Passive Cooling(TM) Solutions Achieving Innovative Thermal Management.


WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI (1) (Characters Per Inch) The measurement of the density of characters per inch on tape or paper. A printer's CPI button switches character pitch.

), a leading manufacturer of systems designed to organize, store and secure IT infrastructure equipment offers new CPI Passive Cooling Passive cooling refers to technologies or design features used to cool houses naturally, such as those technologies discussed in the Passive house project.

In building design, the two principles of passive cooling are:

(TM) Solutions to solve thermal management challenges.

Passive cooling is an innovative technique that allows you to control the flow of air through cabinet spaces. CPI Passive Cooling(TM) Solutions provide 2-20+ kW of cooling without the use of uncertain supplemental liquid or active cooling systems cooling systems

for housed animals include spraying of roofs with water, evaporative pads with fans, foggers and misters; for pastured animals shelter from the sun by trees or artificial shade devices and cooling ponds are used.
. This safe solution allows customers to reclaim control over airflow so that cool air can be directed where it is needed, eliminating bypass and re-circulation of hot exhaust air and the formation of hot spots hot spots

CPI Passive Cooling Solutions provide flexibility, scalability, Tier IV capabilities and the ability to minimize total cost of ownership. These solutions allow uncomplicated moves, adds and changes while also permitting customers to configure See configuration.

 effectiveness, decrease ongoing maintenance costs and reduce the risks and costs associated with supplemental liquid or active cooling systems.

To maximize effective cooling capacity, it is important to manage airflow through, over and around equipment cabinets. CPI Passive Cooling Solutions, available with the TeraFrame(TM) Cabinet System help achieve the ultimate thermal management solution by reclaiming airflow control and improving cooling effectiveness in the data center with low, medium or high heat density CPI Passive Cooling Solutions.

CPI's low heat density solution achieves 2-4 kW of cooling by eliminating hot air recycling through the cabinet. Begin by blocking airflow through open rack spaces with CPI's Snap-In Filler fill·er 1

a. Something added to augment weight or size or fill space.

b. A composition, especially a semisolid that hardens on drying, used to fill pores, cracks, or holes in wood, plaster,

 Kit. Effectively this will create a front-to-rear barrier to airflow and will lower the temperature of air entering the top half of the cabinet because hot air is not re-circulated through the cabinet. Air still re-circulates over the cabinet, but now travels in a one-way direction through equipment.

Increasing the amount of cold air entering the cabinet will help to attain 4-7 kW of cooling, therefore providing a medium heat density solution. To increase the amount of cold air available to each cabinet, seal cable holes with the KoldLok(R) Raised Floor Grommet grommet See Tympanostomy tube.  and block airflow through open rack spaces with Snap-In Filler Panels. Use CPI's patent pending Internal Air Duct instead of the Air Dam Kit to deliver additional cold air to the top half of the cabinet. This cold air will lower the temperature of air directed to the upper portion of the cabinet, thereby reducing the negative effects of hot air traveling over the cabinet into the cold aisle.

Overcome a high heat density solution by isolating hot air from the room to accomplish 7-20+ kW of cooling. Use CPI's patent pending Vertical Exhaust Duct System (includes; Vertical Exhaust Duct, Server Top Panel, Airflow Director and Rear Door Sealing Kit) with the Air Dam Kit, KoldLok Raised Floor Grommet and Snap-In Filler Panels to create a ducted exhaust cabinet. Hot air will be isolated from the room and returned to the primary cooling system cooling system: see air conditioning; internal-combustion engine; refrigeration.

It is also filled with electrical, telephone and network wires. See plenum cable.  or ducted return positioned high above the cabinet. Because hot air is isolated in the duct, you can place vented access floor tiles in the hot aisle to deliver additional cold air to equipment. The resulting lower room temperature eliminates the need for supplemental liquid or active cooling systems.
