Rear door cooling

Rear door cooling server rack

Rear door cooling is an energy-efficient solution for cooling racks in data centers, providing up to approximately 20kW of cooling per door. This system uses passive cooling doors and does not require fans, making it a highly energy-efficient option.

How rear door cooling works

In rear door cooling, ambient air from the server room (1) is drawn into the rack by the servers' fans. As the air cools the servers (2), it heats up to 30°C-40°C. The heated air then passes through the cooling door (3), where it is cooled down to 23°C-25°C before being recirculated. This process is powered by "liquid cooling," a water-based cooling system that ensures efficient heat removal.

Optimal cooling with Aircold Intelligent Cooling

For the most effective cooling solution, Aircold’s Intelligent Cooling system is used, which integrates liquid cooling with a high degree of free cooling. This system focuses on minimizing energy consumption, providing a greener, more sustainable IT solution.

Leading expert in data center cooling

Aircold offers complete data center cooling systems and is a leading expert in server room cooling. With extensive experience in installing and designing complete cooling systems, including Rear Door Heat Exchangers, Aircold has been at the forefront of cooling technology. In 2005, Aircold installed a backdoor cooling system with IBM Rear Door Heat Exchangers at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Chemistry.

Cooling doors are a key component of Aircold’s Intelligent Cooling system, working together to provide an efficient and sustainable cooling solution for data centers.
