Flex By BladeRoom – Our Flexible Liquid Cooling Data Centre System

We understand that not everyone will be in a position, day one, to provide absolutes on their Air to Liquid ratios. That is why we developed our ‘Flex’ design.

Flex enables the maximum amount of data hallA data hall is the primary operational area within a data centre, housing IT equipment such as servers, storage devices, and networking hardware. It is designed for optimal cooling, power distribution, and accessibility to maintain peak performance and reliability. Data halls are...Learn more customisation as the configuration of liquid, or air, cooled racks within the facility does not matter.

No ‘major works’ are required to enable change of cooling ratios; the intent is to enable any rack position to be provided with the potential for liquid or air offering the utmost in flexible, customisable, data centre capacity.

Our productised approach enables us to rapidly deploy this flexible capacity:

  • BladeRoom Liquid Optimisers: Our cooling liquid generation unit.
  • BladeRoom Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs): Distribute cooling liquid throughout the facility, delivering targeted cooling to each high-density rack.
  • BladeRoom Fan Wall Units (FWUs): Converts cooling liquid generated by our Liquid Optimisers into to air cooling to enable a quick change of cooling ratio.
  • Service Cassettes: Our innovative service cassettes come fully integrated with all Facility and Technology loop piping for consistent coolant flow to each rack, facilitating an uninterrupted end to end cooling process.

BladeRoom designs solutions that fully integrate within our data centre’s infrastructure, optimising thermal management and operational efficiency regardless of data hallA data hall is the primary operational area within a data centre, housing IT equipment such as servers, storage devices, and networking hardware.

Enhanced Efficiency with the Liquid-Cooled Air Optimiser

BladeRoom’s Liquid Optimisers offer the flexibility to deploy for any chip cooling requirement. With high temperature and low temperature options you are able to deliver liquid coolingLiquid Cooling is a thermal management strategy where a liquid coolant absorbs heat from servers and IT equipment, efficiently dissipating it through heat exchangers or other mechanisms. It is particularly effective for high-density workloads and energy-intensive applications. Li...Learn more capacity now – and alter the supply conditions to suit your deployment strategy at a later date should requirements or technology alter over the life of the facility.

The Liquid Optimisers, much like our Air Optimisers, use BladeRoom Match Technology to always ensure the most efficient means of operation.

Cooling Options Available

  • Adiabatic Cooling Mode: At times, running in ‘free cooling mode’ this mode of operation delivers the most efficient means of cooling with zero ‘mechanical’ support. In most geographies we are able to maintain a fluid temperature to the CDU of 32°C (36°C to the chip) all year round for maximum energy savings.
  • Hydronic Assistance Mode: For data centres needing lower CDU/Chip temperatures, or for facilities in geographies where Adiabatic use does not provide year round cooling, our ‘top up’ mechanical cooling options ensure reliable performance even in challenging settings. With our hydronic options we are able to maintain a fluid temperature to the CDU of 22°C (26°C to the chip).

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Mechanical Load: Minimising the need for mechanical cooling reduces energy usage and operating costs.
  • Efficiency Across Temperature Ranges: BladeRoom’s systems deliver flexible and efficient cooling, whether at 40°C or 20°C.
  • Customisable Design: With options for both air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, BladeRoom can adapt the liquid cooling system to your site’s specific climate and operational requirements.
