by Rebecca Walker — April 13, 2009—AdaptivCool, the data center thermal management division of Degree Controls, Inc. (DegreeC), has announced major enhancements to its overhead data center hot spot elimination tool.
The new HotSpotr HT-710 provides more than 1300 CFM and is outfitted with a single motor and a high-performance backward-curved blower. The HT-710 is housed in a lightweight aluminum casing and is controlled by an intelligent Thermostatic Controller.
The HotSpotr HT-710 has the following features:
- Overhead air mover to move cold air to cold aisles or return hot air to CRAC;
- Thermostatically controlled to maintain duct air temperature;
- Continuously variable fan speed;
- Dual emergency shutdown feature; and it is
- Pre-wired for Room Scale Intelligent Cooling.
The HT-710 can operate in two modes. In stand-alone mode, the device’s fan speed is varied in response to a local temperature reading. In the networked mode, several HT-710s, HT-510s and sensors are networked to a central controller that monitors the temperature profile of the entire data center and actively manages the airflow distribution to match the heat distribution in the room.
In addition to the overhead HT-710, AdaptivCool has a line of under-floor data center hot spot elimination tools. For more information, see the Web site.
