The largest tech companies in the world look to SRC for rack cooling, chip level cooling, room conditioning, submerged systems, and high performance computer cooling—including the Summit super computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Learn why they trust us to keep their CPUs cool and their data safe.
In these applications, heat exchangers are typically designed to fit the face area of the existing rack system. Where Passive designs use the existing fan system in the rack, Active designs include adding fans to draw high volumes of air to the coils.
A variety of fluids can be used, including water, glycol, or specialty thermal fluids, with low air friction being critical in the design of the coil.
Configurations include rear door, double door, and sidecar arrangements.
For chip level cooling, the coil acts as a radiator, rejecting heat absorbed by the embedded cold plates or heat sinks. Our compact coil designs maximize heat rejection with the restrictive allowable space.
In this application, typical fluids are water or specialty dielectrics and designed with 5mm diameter copper tubes to enable high rejection with lower air friction.
SRC utilizes specially designed filtration skids to ensure internal cleanliness and prevent fluid side blockage in closed loop systems.
Coils in this application are highly customized and require much greater capacities than standard rack cooling coils. They're designed in conjunction with room cooling loads for overall system heat balance.
Customized features such as handles, quick connects, and polished aluminum casings make the coils extensions of the rack.
In these applications, the coil's design is critical for determining the efficiency of high performing computer room air conditioning (CRAC) or computer room air handlers (CRAH).
Whether it's a glycol or water-based system, our uniquely designed fluid coils or condensers and evaporator coils for DX systems reduce air friction, minimize pressure drop, and increase system efficiency.
In these types of systems, the coil acts as a fluid-to-fluid heat exchanger, absorbing heat from the dielectric fluid that surrounds the computers. These units are frequently bare tube construction with chilled water loops that feed the coils to efficiently absorb heat.
Customers in this space want to minimize the risk of cross contamination. SRC products are expertly brazed and leak tested pneumatically, hydraulically, or with helium to prevent cross contamination of fluids and ensure sound joint construction.
When mechanical components are in close proximity to electrical and computing equipment, caution and calculation are critical. For manifolds and piping, we apply the same quality program, cleanliness and service when making special pressure boundary components as we do to all products.
SRC manifolds are produced by employees certified under the ASME Section IX program. Frequently, quick connects to minimize fluid leakage when disengaged, and to-match existing system component are utilized.
This fluid coil was designed for installation in a computer rack and was sized to reject 32 KW of heat. The computer's components are affixed to a cold plate with cold fluid running through it. Cold fluid enters the plate from the coil, where it absorbs the heat coming off the computer components. The now-heated fluid cycles back through the coil where it's cooled with ambient air, and the cycle repeats.
In computer and electronics cooling applications, space is at a premium. The heat exchanger needs to fit in the floor, the rack, and the limited space allocated, while still performing in accordance with the needs of the system.
This means the air friction load needs to be precise too, so as to limit the fan load. Any pressure drop on the fluid side means more pump horsepower, which is seldom possible due to space constraints.
By using our coil selection software, we can account for such constraints. Informed by our wind tunnel testing, it's the most comprehensive software of its kind in the industry.
Our three manufacturing facilities use the latest in modern equipment to ensure that we can start efficiently producing your coils when given the green light.
All products are tested with pneumatic dry nitrogen and/or supplemented with helium leak detection (1 x 10^-6).
You're on a deadline, and we understand. When your design is ready, we can have sample coils produced in as few as five days.
