Keeping IT Cooling with Perimeter Mounted Cooling Solutions: CRAH
Nowadays more data centers are using Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAH). A computer room air handler (CRAH) is a device used frequently in data centers to deal with the heat produced by equipment. Unlike a computer room air conditioner (CRAC) that uses mechanical refrigeration for heat removal in a data center, a CRAH uses fans, cooling coils, and a chilled water system to remove heat. Because CRAH systems are dependent on the surrounding environment temperature, they use less energy than the CRAC's mechanical refrigeration systems. The data center industry’s largest perimeter CRAH is our own CyberAir CFD-1080.
Growing Demands on Data Center Performance
Every day we push technology to its limit. We demand more, faster, accessible, and smarter technologies to download, upload, connect to, and apply. It comes as no surprise that businesses strive to catch up to consumer demands. As the trend continues to favor capable cloud services, the need to provide high-speed performance that users require is essential.
There has been much confusion in the engineering community as to which is the proper energy efficiency metric for computer room air conditioners (CRACs). EER, SEER, COP, IPLV are still frequent topics of discussion even though SCOP is the only recognized efficiency metric for data center equipment, as detailed below.
This month, we're featuring one of our hard working Field Service Technicians; Karl Romriell. Karl spends his time traveling the country keeping STULZ's CRACs and CRAHs running smoothly!
We hope you'll take a moment to learn a little more about Karl below!
When you think of cash crops, wheat, corn, sugar, or soy might come to mind. While these are the most widely planted crops in the world, cannabis is king in terms of profit. Not only does it generate more revenue than every other top-planted cash crop, it also produces more money per square kilometer. But in order to be profitable in this industry, there are numerous challenges to overcome. For over six years, STULZ has collaborated with growers to design, build and install precision climate units in grow facilities throughout the United States, offering purpose-built solutions to maximize crop yields.
We're proud of the team we've gathered at STULZ USA and want to use this platform to introduce you to some of them! We'll be sharing an employee each month and there's no one better to start with than the 2019 recipient of our Corporate Value Award: Zach Book. The Corporate Value Award nominees are chosen by their fellow employees and one recipient for the year is selected as someone who exemplifies outstanding integrity, flexibility, reliability and expertise in their field.
We hope you'll take a moment to learn a little more about Zach below!
If you find yourself taking a stroll along Carroll Creek in Frederick, Maryland this winter you will witness a festive display of boats lighting the path. For the second year in a row, STULZ USA has a boat in the fleet . Votes for our boat will benefit a local charity, "SHIP", that combats childhood homelessness.
