Vertiv launches cooling modules for IT equipment

Vertiv rolls out the Liebert XD family, a line of cooling modules which feature hybrid design configurations that suit every environment. When deployed as primary cooling, it can save up to 70% of energy and 30% as supplemental cooling.

Vertiv unveils the Liebert XD family, a line of thermal management solutions, which offers cooling in row, rack, or room design with provision for scalability and flexibility for future expansion.

The Liebert XD family uses refrigerant-based systems to cool IT equipment. By adopting a waterless design, the solution is ideal for use around electrical equipment, reducing hazards while supporting sustainability targets for businesses working to eliminate water usage in the data centre.

The Liebert XD family can be implemented as hybrid using a combination of floor mount mission-critical cooling units and cooling from the Liebert XD Series as supplemental or primary.

The compact design allows for targeted cooling closer to the heat source, allowing for potential energy savings of up to 70% when deployed as primary cooling and up to 30% savings as supplemental cooling, Vertiv claims.

The Liebert XD family has two types of cooling modules: the Liebert XDP, which utilises the building’s existing chilled water system as well as the Liebert XD pumped refrigerant unit, which can cool up to 200kW of IT load; and the Liebert XDC air-cooled variant, which can support up to 130kW of IT load, for businesses that do not have existing chilled water system in their buildings.

The Liebert XD cooling solutions may be added and reconfigured to react to changes in the environment as heat loads increase.

The Liebert XDP and Liebert XDC units can be used in conjunction with other cooling modules: the Liebert XDH for in-row cooling; the Liebert XDO for overhead cooling; and the Liebert XDV for above-rack cooling.

Each cooling module supports either air-cooled or chilled water, depending on customer requirements. The cooling modules can be installed where the heat loads are to provide cooling exactly where it is needed.

“Cooling accounts for one of the biggest energy consumers within the data centre space. This is no surprise considering the huge amount of data that’s being processed, stored, and analysed as many organisations ramp up their digital transformation programs,” says Vertiv Asia head of thermal management Rebecca Ng.

“As more organisations today strive to balance energy efficiency and sustainability goals with their overall business goals, the Liebert XD family is the perfect solution to support high-density applications,” she concludes.

The Liebert XD family is now available in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
