VERSAPOD DATA CENTER CABINET THERMAL CAPACITIES
Analysis Overview: This analysis is based on a third-party thermal capacity study of the VersaPOD cabinet using CFD modeling and uses the following parameters:
- A single VersaPOD data center rack was fully populated with 1U/500W servers
- A perforated floor tile placed in front of the cabinet provides an air output of 55°F, 600CFM
- Servers were evenly removed until equipment intake temperatures met manufacturer requirements
ANALYSIS #1: STANDARD VersaPOD CABINET
- 1000mm (40") VersaPOD cabinet
- Perforated front and rear doors
- No fans or vertical blanking panels installed
- Blanking panels are used in horizontal locations where equipment is not present
(14) servers installed within limits of intake temperatures
(14) x 500W = 7kW capacity
ANALYSIS #2: VersaPOD WITH VERTICAL EXHAUST DUCT & FANS
- 1200mm (48") VersaPOD data center cabinet
- Perforated front doors
- Solid rear doors
- Vertical exhaust duct
- 3 fan trays installed in top of cabinet (9 fans total)
- Blanking panels are used in horizontal locations where equipment is not present
(26) servers installed within limits of intake temperatures
(26) x 500W = 13kW capacity
