Argent is the exclusive agent for Opengate Data Systems high density EC cooling systems.

  • Scalable to 30KW
  • Quick Deployment
  • Ultra Efficient High Density Cooling

With higher density equipment now being deployed in many data centres, the volume of air being pulled through the rack mounted IT equipment is exceeding the volume of cool air being distributed at the face of the rack.

The Opengate EC cooling systems are controlled by pressure sensors which work in conjunction with the data centre CRAC units to equalize pressure within the server racks maximising cooling efficiency with the existing data centre air supply. . All IT exhaust heat is contained, measured and returned to the facility’s cooling units.

EC cooling systems can communicate with existing management software for real-time cooling capacity assessment and management.

The EC system eliminates the need for supplemental cooling allowing for fewer cooling units and keeps the water or glycol loops at the perimeter of the facility.

Why use the Opengate EC system:

  • Stabilise IT intake air temperature to within a few degrees of the supply air temperature at all points in your data centre
  • Reduce the total data centre fan power and eliminate pressure on server fans for improved server fan efficiency
  • Adjust cooling supply to IT demand as the airflow load in the data center dynamically changes due to varying server flow rates
