The Data Pak: Evaporative Cooling for Data Centers

United Metal Products — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:49:35 +0000

United Metal Products has worked with mission critical end users and the engineering community to develop evaporative cooling solutions specifically for data centers. The uniquely engineered Data Pak allows data centers to take advantage of all the energy efficiency gains of mechanical free cooling while addressing the risk that has been associated with some types of adiabatic cooling in the data center. United Metal Products draws on over thirty years of experience in helping facilities apply energy efficient evaporative technologies in a site specific and appropriate way.

If you have a data center project that is looking to achieve a reduced PUE then consider leveraging the energy efficient technology of an evaporative system. For project specific inquiries contact h.simmons@unitedmetal.com

Large Data Centers are Implementing Indirect-Direct Cooling to Lower PUE

United Metal Products — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:27:45 +0000

In an effort to lower the overall PUE of their data center facilities, several organizations have sought out the expertise that United Metal Products has in the area of evaporative cooling technologies. Several years ago it would have been unthinkable for most organizations to consider using evaporative cooling to control the climate in their data centers. However, ever since ASHRAE raised the recommended inlet supply temperature (80.6 degrees Fahrenheit) companies have been seeking to implement more energy efficient cooling solutions in their mission critical facilities and they have been looking to the experienced team at United Metal Products to help them do so. For companies with multiple data center sites that need effective and energy efficient cooling solutions United Metal offers The Design Assist Program for the Application of Energy Efficient Cooling Solutions to Data Centers. One of the advantages of this program is that it provides end users with the opportunity to work directly with the experienced design team at United Metal to create a facility specific solution for maximum energy optimization. Recently one of United Metal’s strategic alliance partners contacted them to get design assistance on a large data center. Rather than simply supply help through a representative the partner needed someone from United Metal to come to their office and hammer through the design for the mission critical facility. Even though the client was in a different state, United Metal immediately deployed one of their data center experts to meet with the facility owner. The expert was able to assess the situation and provide the end user with a customized indirect-direct cooling solution to meet their facilities unique needs.

If you have a data center project that needs an energy efficient cooling solution then contact h.simmons@unitedmetal.com to find out how your organization can leverage the evaporative cooling technology experts at United Metal Products to create a facility specific solution.

Central Plant Solutions for Data Centers

United Metal Products — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:50:22 +0000

A while ago at a conference there was a general contractor who was lamenting about a data center project that he had just completed. The project had taken his team months longer to go online than initially planned and this was due to in part to the delay of the central plant being completed.

However, the general contractor’s frustration soon dissipated after he encountered the Chil-Pak® team and began to learn about the benefits of a factory built packaged central plant when compared to a built up plant. His face lit up as he realized how he could leverage Chil-Pak’s® expertise to eliminate deployment headaches and increase the scope of his business. His only regret was that he wished he had heard about Chil-Pak® before his most recent ‘headache’ project.

The contractor immediately decided to take advantage of the benefits of the packaged central plant and began working on the concept of his next project with the experienced design team at Chil-Pak®. The Chil-Pak® experience can best be leveraged by bringing them in early and allowing them to help with the design of the project. In other words, they specialize in moving projects forward from functionality to constructability.

Chil-Pak® provides data center facilities with the simplification of the deployment of chilled water from concept to commissioning. To learn more about leveraging the experience of Chil-Pak® on your next project contact hsimmons@chil-pak.com

Fortune 100 Company Chooses Chil-Pak for Their Data Center

United Metal Products — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:00:01 +0000

How can you determine what it is like to work with a company you have not previously done business with? One of the best ways to understand what it is like is to ask previous clients about their experience. Chil-Pak® recently finished up a project working on a data center for a Fortune 100 company and received feedback that other companies who are building data centers should consider. Below is a sampling of the feedback:

“Chil-Pak is a much better quality system, more flexible design, easier to install, and is a much better overall value compared to other packaged central plants.” -Jeff

“Chil-Pak packaged central plants are a great product and can be used in multiple applications because they can be easily modified for different needs. The only suggestion I have for the team at Chil-Pak is that they do more marketing so that others can take advantage of their solutions.” -Troy

The Adiabatic Hydro Cooler™: A Strategic Solution for Data Center Cooling to Help Improve Overall PUE

United Metal Products — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 03:59:10 +0000

Power usage is one of the main challenges for data center users. Over 1.5% (with some reports as high as 4%) of all power in the United States is being consumed by data centers and one-third of this energy goes toward cooling the data center facility. The Adiabatic Hydro Cooler (AHC) provides an energy efficient, cost effective, flexible, and reliable cooling solution to help data centers achieve an optimal PUE by taking advantage of more free-cooling.

For over 30 years United Metal has positioned itself as a leading provider of cooling solutions for high density applications. United Metal Products® offer an energy efficient, reliable, low maintenance and cost effective cooling solution using indirect and evaporative cooling technologies in a simple, self-contained unit - the Adiabatic Hydro Cooler (AHC).^TM

Is All Evaporative Cooling Media the Same?

United Metal Products — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:11:14 +0000

With so many types of evaporative cooling media on the market it can make it difficult to differentiate between them. However, the one thing that all of the products seem to have in common is that they claim to be the same as CELdek®. This leads the consumer to think that evaporative media is evaporative media is evaporative media. Is that really the case?

CELdek® evaporative cooling media is a highly engineered cooling pad designed to improve cooler efficiency. The cooling pads are made with a proprietary resin design that limits bacteria growth and decay for increased service life. CELdek® evaporative cooling media is so widely recognized as a superior product that most evaporative coolers sold in North America are originally designed with this cooling media.
