LiquiCool™Technology |
Angstrom has designed a
revolutionary cooling solution that:
- Saves the cost of a new data center
build-out and enable continued use of existing data center resources by
- Allowing denser computer
deployments
- Utilizing hot spots in data center
- Expanding outside of data center
by deploying into office space
- Reduces TCO of running a data center of
computers –with pay back in less than two years.
- Allowing existing data centers to
continue utilizing existing facilities
- Reducing by up to 30%, the
electricity used within a data center by reducing the need for air
conditioning.
- Enables deployment of computers in
environmentally challenged areas –with high heat, humidity and dust.
- Goes Green! Be a good global
citizen by integrating Angstrom Green Computing solutions that save energy
resources, reduce pollution and global warming. Angstrom LiquiCool computers
are low-energy-impact, environmentally friendly solutions.

NEEDED! |
To achieve these results,
Angstrom’s cooling solution replaces air-cooling of its computers with
liquid cooling. Technically, Angstrom solves a variety of problems:
- Air conditioning usage: *Reduces the
need, and in some cases, eliminates, A/C needed to cool clusters of
computers– from 75% of A/C and up.
- Power consumption: *Reduces power
needed to run a cluster of computers– from 20% and up.
- Noise generation: Reduces, and in some
cases, eliminates the noise of running computers in a rack.

| Angstrom’s liquid
cooling reduces the effect of the surrounding environment on the computer
system. In fact, Angstrom Self Cooling™ racks requires little, if any air
flow and can be sealed from existing data center environment. |

 Heat exchangers convert
gas that is created by the computer cooling process back into a liquid form.
Gas rises through pipes to a location above the computers, usually on the roof,
where it is cooled by:
- Air blowing across the pipes
- Water flowing across the pipes
- Water evaporating on the pipes
Unlike any other liquid cooling product,
Angstrom LiquiCool provides a variety of heat exchanger technologies that fit
your specific data center requirements.
- Chilled water to the rack – for
those data centers that are built for chilled water cooling, Angstrom allows
cooling to the rack using chilled water. Unlike IBM™ or HP™
technologies Angstrom racks take significantly less chilled water because the
water.
- Does not need to cool the rack more
than 1 degree Celsius
- Heat is removed from the computer by
two phased technology and not air-cooling technology
|
- Air cooled on top of the rack –
for those data centers that require greater density or have wasted floor space
due to localized hot-spots but are not able to add additional HVAC plumbing for
the Angstrom LiquiCool remote heat exchangers. By placing the heat exchanger on
top of the rack, new racks do not need significant air conditioning yet can be
placed anywhere within an existing data center.
- Marine cooled on the roof – for
those data centers located near streams and salt water and have the capability
to use water from these sources. Gas pipes are intertwined with corrosion
resistant pipes flowing with water to cool the gas into a liquid. Only a pump
to drive the water into the piping is required.
- Air cooling on the roof – for
those data centers that are in locations with enough ambient air cooling. Most
of this cooling is driven by roof top fans.
- Water-vapor-cooled on the roof –
for those data centers that need help converting the gas to liquid on certain
days with heat above 90 degrees F. A swap cooler on the roof is a low cost
highly efficient method of augmenting the cooling in spot circumstances. The
occasional usage of swap coolers replaces the constant usage of
air-conditioners.
- Chilled water on the roof – for
those data centers that have a chilled water infrastructure in place but do not
want to introduce a conductive substance such as water deep into a data center
to cool each new rack. Chilled water on the roof can augment and spot cool an
air-cooling solution. The Angstrom LiquiCool solution requires a significantly
reduced quantity of chilled water to cool the gas in to a liquid.
