Cooling Doors

Reducing energy consumption is critical to reining in datacentre costs. That's why the slender Cooling Door System attaches to the Blade System to remove heat directly at the source--the back of the blade rack--with chilled water cooling technology, making it much more efficient than traditional cooling systems.

At a Glance 



Up to 6x more efficient than traditional datacentre cooling systems 
Compact, closely coupled design increases effective computer density by up 70% over in-row cooling 
Provides 2.3x the capacity of competitive passive cooling systems 
Requires no fans or electricity 

Removes heat directly from the back of the Sun Blade 6048 Chassis 
Uses chilled water cooling technology.

Features and Benefits

Removes up to 100% of generated heat 
Can leverage existing chilled-water datacentre infrastructures 
Adds only 6.3 inches to chassis, minimizing datacentre footprint 
Up to 35 kW of cooling capacity per door (compare to 5 kW with 
traditional raised floor cooling) 
Quieter and more reliable than traditional cooling systems

Chilled Water Cooling

The Cooling Door System removes heat generated by the Blades, using chilled water from any appropriate source that can maintain a controlled temperature and flow rate. The Cooling Door System leverages the air movement generated by the blade chassis fans, removing heat with no additional fans or electricity.
