Text for tenders: Rittal air-circulating climate control system (CRAC)


Rittal air-circulating climate control system (CRAC)

for operation with coolant R407c



Size 1 (18  kW) to size 4 (54 kW)



One-piece  air-circulating climate control enclosure

unit for recirculating air operation for use in Data

Centres and other IT operational environments.

The airflow direction inside the unit is from top to

bottom. The supply air is blown out in the raised

floor.



Enclosure



The enclosure is designed with a twin-wall cladding

and rolled frame construction. The steel section is

additionally provided with a coat of lacquer.

The corner connections are welded. All doors are

sealed with all-round foamed-in PU seals. The twin

wall is provided with an internal 30/45 mm thick

acoustic and  thermal insulation which is fire-proof

and complies with building material class A1 to DIN

4102.





Maintenance is exclusively made from the front via the

front doors.



The outer lining of the rear and side panels consists

of 1.5 mm dipcoat-primed sheet steel. The visible side

is powder-coated in textured RAL 7035 (light grey).



The outer lining of the operating doors consists of

2 mm dipcoat primed sheet steel. The visible sides

are powder-coated in textured RAL 9005 (black).



The construction design, colour and surface structure

of the enclosure are in line with the Rittal server

racks based on the well proven Rittal TS 8 enclosure.



The inner lining of the enclosure consists of hot-dip

galvanised sheet steel, the zinc layer is at least 275

g/m.  The inner linings on doors and rear panel have

a material thickness of 1 mm.



Extracted air connection

Free air suction at the top without any further duct

components.



Base frame

The base frame is equipped with vibration damping feet

Adjustment range for compensating the height when

connecting to the raised floor approx.  50 mm.





Filtering

The air filter in the unit suction area is designed as

cassette filter and placed on the cooler.

Filter class is G4 to EN 779. Maximum filtration

efficiency is ensured due to the selected construction

selected. The high filtration efficiency offers a

higher protection of material and persons.



By using cassette filters with a  plastic fibre frame

the filter surface is maximised. An all-round seal is

on the filter clean air side.



The filter medium consists of fibre-glass web, folded

in a cone shape (V).

A clean air side integrated support grid for

stabilising the folding is integrated. The maximum

dust storage capacity and minor pressure loss are

achieved by a large efficient filter surface.



The position of the filter ensures good access and a

front filter exchange.



Electrical filter and airflow monitoring via a common

pressure sensor.



Cooling (direct evaporation DX)

The cooling is by an evaporator that is integrated

into the unit

The chlorine free HFC R407c with low greenhouse

potential is used as a coolant.



Direct evaporator as membrane heat exchanger

consisting of copper pipes with high performance

membranes made from aluminium including manifold made

from copper for partitioning, inserted in a sturdy

frame of 2 mm aluminium.



Tray for collecting condensate, can be removed and

cleaned, made from rustproof anodised aluminium

(AlMgSi).



Internal condensate piping with self-filling siphon

consisting of a  40 mm high temperature resistant

tube.



These components can simply be removed and exchanged

if necessary.





The compressor is a low-noise operating scroll

compressor that is cooled with suction gas line and

has a three-phase motor. The cooling circuit includes

a filter dryer and a sight glass with coolant -

moisture indicator and electronic expansion valve in

the liquid line. Service valves are provided in

significant numbers. Connections for coolant disposal

and safety pressostats  and safety controls and

instruments  in accordance with DIN EN 378 are

considered too.

The internal pipe work of the cooling circuit of

high-quality, seamless copper pipe is deoiled and

deburred and equipped with a diffusion-tight glued,

closed-cell flexible insulation of the suction gas

line.





The machine part is separate from the air-treatment

part. There is sound and airflow insulation. For this

reason maintenance and control of the cooling circuit

is possible under operation. All installation

components are easily accessible.





Condenser (not included)

Air-cooled high-performance condenser for outside

siting.

Self-supporting construction in weather-proof design

for vertical and horizontal air-routing.

Axial fan as compact unit in corrosion-protected

weather-proof design. Single-phase AC motor with

operating condenser and thermal contact. The

infinitely adjustable condenser pressure control is

made at the condenser. The condenser is equipped with

all necessary installation components for the cooling

circuit.





Medium connections

The cold water tubes and the condensate discharge are

led to the bottom out of the unit.



Fan unit

The fan for the airflow direction inside the unit from

top to bottom is positioned in a fluidic positive

manner in the  base frame.



Directly driven, single-sided suction high performance

radial fan in reinforced design, without spiral

casing, with stable pressure-volume flow

characteristic. The fan rating is made on optimum

operating point for highest efficiency.

The fan/motor unit is mounted in a supporting

structure and can slightly be withdrawn  forwards for

maintenance purposes.

The rotor has blades of aluminium that are bent

backwards and is statically and dynamically balanced

with a balance quality G 6.3 to DIN ISO 1940.



The fan driving motor works on the external rotor

principle in compliance with VDE 0530, part 1 and is

designed as EC DC motor. The motor is integrated in

the  wheel. The arrangement in the airflow ensures an

efficient motor cooling. The shaft is located in the

ball bearing in accordance with DIN 625 with permanent

lubrification.

The service life of the bearing is 20,0000 . 30,000

operating hours. The motor is ISO class "F" and has

protection category IP 44.





The electronic commutation unit which is necessary is

placed directly at the motor within the airflow and is

used for infinitely variable speed control of the DC

fan motor.



In the scope of commissioning a simple setting of the

volume flow is possible. The electronic commutation

unit has a set value input 0 - 10 V for the automatic

control of the volume flow via an external controller

(DDC).  Integral EMC filter ensure compliance with EMC

limits to  EN 50011-B.



Electrical part

Connection voltage 3 phase/N/PE, 400 V

+-10 %, 50 Hz.



The electrical part is  separated from the airflow and

equipped with a acrylic glass security cover. Design

according to the relevant EN or VDE regulations. All

components necessary for operating the cooling unit

are mounted on a mounting plate in a clearly arranged

way. Operation is made from the front. The control

circuit is rated with a low voltage of 24 VDC as PELV

to VDE 0100 part 410.
