Chapter 2: Features 2. Features Chilled water (CW) is supplied to the Cold Row CW unit via a building chiller or other chilled water plant. Chilled water has high affinity for heat, making it a very efficient cooling method. The E² controller enables independent valve and fan control so the unit can adjust immediately, and precisely, to varying heat loads and optimize energy efficiency. Two models are available: Table 2-1. Available models. Product Code Product Name CRCW-12 Cold Row CW, 12" CR

Chapter 3: Configurations 3. Configurations Open Aisle Configuration Open aisle configuration organizes racks in a single row or in hot and cold aisle rows, but without containment. The Cold Row CW draws hot air from the external environment or hot aisle, removes the heat, and supplies cooled air to the front of IT equipment in the cold aisle. Open Aisle Containment with Side Discharge Cold Aisle Containment Cold aisle containment captures cooled air from the Cold Row CW and prevents it f
