Inside Ventilation Unit
For the safe operation of the BackCooler

Heat accumulation between the rear side of the server and the BackCooler can cause warm air to flow back through the partition to the server’s air intake side. The Inside Ventilation Unit from SCHÄFER ensures safe operation even when the server’s airflow is too low to overcome the pressure drop of the heat exchanger.

A bidirectional airflow sensor measures both the speed and direction of the airflow at a 1U partition panel. The control system evaluates this data and controls the fans at the same speed to achieve an adjustable setpoint at the hot/cold separation.

Advantages

  • Retrofit possible during ongoing operation
  • Mounting on the inside of the BackCooler
  • Supports airflow on the hot side in case of heterogeneous server rack configurations and in low-load conditions
  • Ensures heat transport into the BackCooler
  • Heat transfer into the BackCooler even in the low-load range of installed components
  • Prevents hot spots and backflow into the cold area
  • Sufficient space for cable management and power strips
  • Cost-effective solution through the use of standardized industrial control systems
  • Fail-safe operation of the IVU thanks to optional external A/B switching
