DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Adding an HPC cluster to the existing data center at the George Washington University brought a serious concern to the forefront – Additional heat loads from the 24 kW per rack cluster proved too much for the existing hot aisle chimney strategy.  =0A=0AThe 50°F cold aisle air was barely adequate and high back pressure at the back of the rack raised serious concerns that the chimneys would not be able to remove the extreme heat while maintaining the health of the HPC cluster.=0A =0ATo address cooling demands and future growth requirements, GW implemented Coolcentric’s High Density Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx-HD); a passive heat exchanger closely coupled to the rear of the rack capable of removing 30kW of heat before it enters the data center. =0A =0AGiangrosso and Wickberg will discuss GW’s decision, installation, results and implications for existing data center facilities that are at or near cooling and power capacities.
