Chilled Water Piping for Your Data Center Outline
4r
Course Description:
In data centers, the traditional approach to piping distribution has been to use hard copper or carbon steel piping with welded, brazed or threaded fittings for routing and branching of the piping to the computer room air conditioners. With the current trend of increased densities in IT equipment and more frequent moves, additions, and changes, computer room air conditioners must occasionally be added to the traditional lay-outs where the use of hard piping becomes problematic. These additions require new piping to be installed, increasing deployment time of the equipment and increasing the risk of down time associated with the installation. The result is that there is a need in the industry for a more flexible modular system of piping that can better accommodate changing requirements. This course explains this new piping technology and its application to next- generation data centers.
Learning Objectives At the end of this course, you will be able to: Discuss the deployment of both traditional hard piping as well as newer, flexible piping Identify the various failure modes of hard piping and flexible piping installations Review considerations for deploying both under-floor and overhead hard piping installations Compare the benefits of both hard piping and flexible piping for chilled water systems
