Hydro-DENCO is latest in the range of DENCO® Products. This massive CRAC unit can range up 500kW. The product connects to a fluid cooler and requires no refrigerants as of this. It uses no mechanical cooling either which means a zero ODP/GWP. Hydro Denco is a robust, reliable and proven range of Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units. They represent the latest evolution in the 50 year history of Denco® products The range comprises three models, each with a single cooling circuit offering cooling capacities from 50kW, up to 200kW. Fans are mounted in the unit base section for downflow air delivery, with many options available regarding air inlet and discharge configuration. Equipment is generally supplied with only cooling as this is increasingly popular for standard data centre applications.
The design philosophy with Hydro-Denco® systems is to achieve acceptable data centre server cooling requirements without using any mechanical refrigeration, or the high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants associated with some such systems.
