Data Center Components - CRAC
CRAC enables you to create geometry and boundary conditions to represent a computer room air conditioning unit.
|
Name |
The Name appears in the Project Manager window, history tree, and 3D Modeler window. |
| Location | Under Location, specify the x, y, and z start and length location to define the object's size. |
|
Fan Specification |
Under Fan Specification, specify whether the fan are defined as Simple or Detailed. See Detailed Fan Specifications below for more information. Also, select the coordinate system on which to create the fan. |
| Flow direction | Flow direction specifies the direction in which the air flows from the fan. |
| Intake fan specifications | Under Intake fan specifications, specify Volume flow rate or Mass flow rate and the Supply temperature. |
| Turning vane | Under Turning vane, specify off or on. If enabled, specify which coordinate direction the flow is directed and the Vane height. |
|
Number of Intake fans |
Number of Intake fans specifies the amount of intake fans included in the model. |
| Intake Fan | Intake Fan specifies the length and width of the intake fan. |
| Exhaust Fan | Exhaust Fan specifies the length and width of the exhaust fan. |
