What makes a location hazardous? Who defines it, and how does this impact the choice of an enclosure?

This paper will explore opportunities to realize energy savings in data center chilled water systems through the use of close-coupled, closed-loop, water-cooled IT equipment cabinets. Energy usage of the chiller plant will be examined, identifying potential energy savings afforded by varying chilled water supply temperatures. Further, the paper will look at “free cooling” opportunities, using water-side economizers in conjunction with water-cooled cabinets to further expand energy savings potential.

A quick reference for converting Imperial/Metric measurements.

Purging/pressurization systems permit the safe operation of electrical/electronic equipment under hazardous conditions - but what does that really mean? How is purging different from pressurization?

Rittal uses an exclusive three-phase paint process to give its enclosures the ultimate in protection and corrosion resistance.

The design and construction of the modern high density data center requires careful planning in order to meet both current needs and future demands. Important details including available space, power supply and usage, cooling needs, and selecting the best/most appropriate products to achieve design and performance goals must be addressed. This document, derived largely from conversations with engineers, end users, and vendors, provides a starting point for how to assess specific needs in the aforementioned areas and offers suggestions on how to satisfy them without recommendation of any specific manufacturer or product.

Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC has become a very important factor in the selection of housings and enclosures. To protect sensitive electronics against the effects of electromagnetic interference, EMI shielding is an absolute must.
