RDHX performance

Expected performance of the 42U heat exchanger is illustrated in the following figure for a typical inlet air temperature of 27°C (80.6°F), with a fully populated rack, near uniform power dissipation, and a 30-40 kW heat load.

Typical performance of the heat exchanger, 30 kW heat load
Figure 5. Typical performance of the 42U heat exchanger, 30 kW heat load

Performance data is shown in the following figure for a 20 kW heat load. Because of the lower heat load, a specific level of cooling can be achieved with warmer water, a lower flow rate, or both.

Typical performance of the heat exchanger, 20 kW heat load
Figure 6. Typical performance of the 42U heat exchanger, 20 kW heat load

By selecting the correct water inlet temperature and water flow rate, you can achieve the necessary heat removal. A heat removal of 100% indicates that an amount of heat equivalent to that generated by the devices has been removed by the heat exchanger and the average air temperature leaving the heat exchanger is identical to that entering the rack (27°C /80.6°F in this example).

Heat removal in excess of 100% indicates that the heat exchanger not only removed all of the heat generated by the devices but further cooled the air so that the average air temperature leaving the rack is actually lower than that entering the rack.

A given water temperature may be used only if the system that is supplying the water is able to measure the room dew point and automatically adjust the water temperature accordingly. Otherwise, the water temperature must be above the maximum dew point that is allowed at that data center installation.

Customers should work with their Lenovo Sales Architects and Datacenter Infrastructure Specialists for an exact sizing for their project.

Operating environment

The Heavy Duty Rack Cabinets have the following operating environment requirements:

RDHX water requirements

The water requirements for the Rear Door Heat Exchanger is as follows:

  • Water Temperature:
    • Above dewpoint
    • 18°C / 64.4°F for ASHRAE Class 1 Environment
    • 22°C / 71.6°F for ASHRAE Class 2 Environment
  • Water volume: 9 liters (2.4 gallons)
  • Maximum pressure: 689.66 kPa (20psi) / 6.9 bars
  • Minimum water flow rate: 22.7 liters (6 gallons) per minute
  • Maximum water flow rate: 56.8 liters (15 gallons) per minute
  • Water connections: 3/4 quick connect

Note: The water required to initially fill the system side cooling loop must be reasonably clean, bacteria- free water (<100 CFU/ml) such as de-mineralized water, reverse osmosis water, de-ionized water, or distilled water. The water must be treated with anti-biological and anti-corrosion measures. The water cannot originate from the primary chilled-water system for the building but must be supplied as part of a secondary, closed-loop system.

Important: Do not use glycol solutions, because they can adversely affect the cooling performance of the heat exchanger

Tilt, shock and vibration

The rack cabinets have the following tilt, vibration and shock limits:

  • Tilt:
    • 42U cabinet: 12.5 degrees
    • 48U cabinet: 10 degrees
  • Vibration: 0.8 G rms at 2 Hz to 200 Hz for 15 minutes
  • Shock: See the following table
Table 14. Shock data for 42U and 48U cabinets (Guided Platen Shock)
Number of drops Free-fall drop height Velocity change Duration
10 40 mm (1.5 inches) 1020 mm/sec (40 in/sec) 2-3 ms
2 70 mm (2.75 inches) 1400 mm/sec (55 in/sec) 2-3 ms
