you designed a system for servers, and your utilization
is only a fraction of what that name plate is."
If companies overbuild their cooling systems, or install products they aren't using, it is operationally and
fiscally inefficient. The lack of a supply-chain model
that scales products to requirements has fueled the perpetual repetition of this costly practice.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
Inertech's patented model has been able to reduce 80%
to 85% of the cost of starting a data center. On the operational side, because Inertech's cooling systems are 90%
more efficient than a traditional chiller plant, it is able
to drastically cut the electrical infrastructure that supports that data center for its customers.
Inertech built a platform of small modular cooling
blocks that can be scaled to actual IT use. It worked
with Danfoss to identify critical components that
would enable it to maximize efficiencies for energy and
water use. The system design supports data center needs
in a much more cost-effective delivery model than a

traditional chiller plant, as the smaller platforms can be
installed exactly when they are needed, or 'just-in-time,'
without interrupting IT online operations.
Inertech's cooling cycles were designed modularly,
in the equipment, as well as in the physical infrastructure, enabling data centers to scale over time. Working
in a supply chain of four to six weeks, Danfoss and Inertech deploy and hook up pre-assembled modular
units to data centers based on their actual IT use, which
has resulted in energy efficiency of 80% to 90%, versus
a normal chiller plant.
A traditional 10-MW data center would typically
require 20 MW to have sufficient power to get the
chiller plant back online in the event of a power outage.
Modularizing the system with small Turbocor blocks
resulted in very low in rush, only using the compressors
as needed, which reduced the electrical infrastructure
required from 100% overhead to 15%.
Inertech's Cactus Units use about 80% to 85% less
water than a traditional chiller plant. This particular
unit also affords data centers the ability to run dry, pro-
We design tankless hot water systems to fit any blueprint.
A Rinnai Tankless Hot Water system delivers an endless supply of hot water to any size building
and makes your job easier from the beginning. Our customer support team is there for you
throughout the process, from the initial quote to the finished installation. A proven sizing
methodology guarantees accuracy. And your clients will appreciate the energy efficiency
and built-in redundancy of our systems that deliver quality and reliability, year after year.
