FROM THE SERVER TO THE RACK
TO THE DATA CENTER ROOM

Vertiv has different solutions available for any rack and Data Center layout

• One of the solutions is to place the cooling unit next to the server
and the IT rack
• Thermal Management units have the capability to adapt to the
servers’ needs in terms of air flow and air temperature

AIRFLOW MODULATION

EC Fans
Deliver always just the required air flow

Main Features Benefits for Customer

• Variable airflow to meet server requirements • Low energy consumption

• High Efficiency • Quick adoption to server airflow needs
• Low noise • Suitable for open as well as closed architecture
• Emergency Airflow • Highest availability
EMERGENCY AIRFLOW FOR HIGHEST AVAILABILITY 600 mm
models
⚫ When the Liebert CRV is operating at 100% of its catalog capacity, both fans are only spinning at partial
speed.

100% Rating Max Fan Speed Extra Airflow

CRV 20kW 4172 m3/h 4905 m3/h 18%
CRV 35kW 5500 m3/h 6806 m3/h 23%
CRV 40kW 5650 m3/h 6548 m3/h 16%

⚫ Benefits:
• In the event of a fan failure, the functioning fan will increase to max speed to help compensate for the
lost fan. Plus, when multiple Liebert CRV units are Teamworked together, the other units will also
assist the impaired unit

• The unit will automatically ramp to max fan speed when the room is overheated.
Example: Heat soaked, post-power failure condition. Extra airflow provides extra capacity to return to the room
set point FASTER.
