FLEXIBLE AISLE CONTAINMENT SOLUTION PROVIDES RESULTS AND ROOM FOR GROWTH
Oslo’s largest data centre, Basefarm Oslo 5, implemented CPI’s build to spec (BTS), hot aisle containment (HAC) solution, and GF-Series GlobalFrame Gen 2 cabinet systems, to provide unparalleled levels of sustainability and reliability. Integral to the data centre’s design is ‘air-to-
air’ cooling system, designed to deliver high levels of cooling with exceptionally low power consumption. This cooling technology demanded a containment strategy that could effectively manage the separation of hot and cold air. The solution needed to be of the highest quality, easy to work with and flexible enough to accommodate a mix of cabinets and equipment from multiple suppliers. It also needed to be able to rapidly respond to the future deployment of integrated cabinets and accommodate a variety of cabinet sizes. CPI’s cabinets and aisle containment solutions
enable Basefarm to eliminate hot spots, support four times higher heat and power densities, and
A NEW SOLUTION FOR DISTRIBUTION
ide Systems has expanded the fleet of products available through its ide rental service, with the addition of its new mains distribution unit, the MD63. The product is a power distribution unit for temporary electrical
effectively utilise 100 per cent of supplied air and reduce chilled air waste. With the flexibility CPI’s BTS kit and GlobalFrame cabinet system provides, Basefarm can quickly scale the new data centre to accommodate its clients’ future colocation needs.

installations and is housed in a high-density polyethylene enclosure to ensure resistance to impact and the elements. The MD63’s polyethylene enclosure is designed
to provide consistent performance and safety, with recessed socket and switchgear panels for mechanical protection, and ingress protection (IP) rated sockets that protect against dust and splashes of water. The enclosure has integrated lifting handles and
rails for easier handling. The MD63 is available in single-phase and three-phase models.

COLOUR RECOGNITION SENSORS, LED ANALYSERS AND IN-PROCESS COLOUR MEASUREMENT
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon is now offering wide ranges of colour recognition sensors, LED analysers and inline colour measurement systems. The colorCONTROL MFA-5 is compact and can
verify the colour, intensity and colour temperature (in Kelvin) of up to five LEDs simultaneously. The measuring system is modular and suitable for manufacturers of LED luminaires, including architectural and street lighting. The colorSENSOR LT range operates using optical fibres. The sensor is connected to an optical fibre that is guided to the measurement target. Colour detection therefore takes place very close to the object, which reduces any environmental impact that could adversely affect the reliability of measurements. The colorSENSOR OT series of colour
recognition sensors operates by using fixed
optical systems. These sensors are able to recognise the colour of objects from longer distances (from 2mm to 800mm). Different models are available to suit different surfaces and materials, including shiny, reflective and structured surfaces, as well as versions for recognising UV markings. All sensors in Micro-Epsilon’s colorSENSOR
range benefit from a ‘teach-in’ function. This enables the sensor to learn and adapt to the application by using samples of the correct colour. Following this, the sensor is able to compare the colour samples with the target object. Many applications require colours and shades
to be examined on-the-fly and to very high accuracies. The colorCONTROL ACS7000 from Micro-Epsilon is an inline (in-process) high- speed colour measurement system that measures the actual colour of the target by identifying their
coordinates in the colour space. The system can be set up to continually monitor a production process and output the colour measurement via Ethernet, EtherCAT or RS422, it can also be taught pass fail/limits and then output out-of- tolerance alarms using digital I/O.

TESTO THERMAL IMAGING DEVICES NEXT GENERATION INRAK
RS Components has launched a new range of thermal imaging cameras from testo.
Each testo thermal
imaging camera is ergonomically designed and engineered with comfort, practicality and ease of use in mind.
Developed for optimum flexibility and with a wide set
of useful features, the multi-application cameras are suitable for facilities managers, maintenance engineers, and electrical installation engineers. The four new models (testo 865, 868, 871 and 872) offer a range of on-device resolutions (up to 320 x 240 pixels on the 872). However, with the testo SuperResolution technology included as standard, this can be increased up to 640 x 480 pixels. In addition, all new testo thermal imagers can be connected to the testo Thermography app, which is available for both iOS and Android.

40 MARCH 2017 | ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Airedale International is set to showcase its new InRak (300mm) on Stand L35 at Data Centre World (Excel, London, 15 and 16 March 2017) along with a number of other solutions, all of which are engineered to perform in today’s data centre environment. The InRak is a precise and high performance in-row cooling
solution, which offers industry leading cooling efficiency for its capacity. With an EER of 73.6, it claims to provide up to 54 per cent more energy efficient cooling than its nearest competitor. Designed to sit between the server racks in a hot aisle
containment configuration, the InRak takes advantage of its position close to the server heat source, and the higher return air temperatures that are associated with it, providing targeted IT cooling via the shortest, direct route. Easily scalable, the InRak allows for incremental increases in cooling requirements, with
its compact, modular design. This makes it easy for multiple units of different sizes and capacities to be added as the load increases, or to eliminate hot spots. With flexibility at its core, the InRak requires no floor or ceiling void and has a small footprint. Compatible with racks from any manufacturer, it includes easy and simple connection points that allow for fast installation from either above or below. Driven by smart controls logic, the InRak is said to deliver complete confidence, aisle
differential pressure control and dual power supply
