LCP Hybrid

EN
3Device description
3.1General functional description
The LCP Hybrid is essentially an air/water heat exchanger. It cools the room by cooling the hot air from devices
in a server enclosure to the ambient temperature. This
prevents the temperature at the installation site from rising as a result of heat loss from the IT components. To
this end, the device is fitted to the rear of a server enclosure.
Air routing follows the "front to back" cooling principle,
and is effected by the device fans built into the server enclosure. The expelled warm air is routed through the air/
water heat exchanger of the Liquid Cooling Package. To
this end, the fans of the built-in 482.6 mm (19") equipment must be capable of overcoming the airside pressure loss from the LCP Hybrid.
There, the air is cooled and then flows out into the ambient air at the rear.
Note:
The water inlet temperature must always be
selected (controlled) to be above the dew
point for the existing ambient temperature
and humidity in the data centre. The dew
point can be found in the Mollier h-x diagram
(fig. 2).
Furthermore, we advise compliance with the
ASHRAE standard "ASHRAE TC 9.9, 2011
Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments".
Note:
As an alternative to use of the h-x diagram, in
section 13.2.2 "Determination of the dew
point", you will find tables showing the dew
point for selected temperatures and air humidity levels.

Immediately in front of the heat exchanger is a row of
heat pipes. These heat pipes support even distribution
of the thermal load over the entire height of the heat exchanger.
In the heat exchanger, the thermal energy (heat loss
from the devices) is transferred to a cold water system.

3.2Air routing
In order to ensure adequate cooling in the server enclosure, it is important to ensure that the hot air from the
fans of the installed equipment is routed directly via the
LCP Hybrid and is prevented from accumulating inside
the server enclosure.
Targeted air routing in the server enclosure has a major
effect on the heat loss to be dissipated. It is therefore important to assemble the device and the additional installed equipment in the server enclosure as described
in section 5.2 "Assembly procedure".
In order to ensure targeted air routing in the system, the
server enclosure should be divided vertically into warm
air and cold air sections. The division is accomplished in
the rear section of the server assembly to the left and
right of the 482.6 mm (19") level using air baffle plates,
which, depending on the enclosure width and the number of server enclosures to be cooled, can be ordered as
accessories (see section 12 "Accessories").
This prevents the hot air from flowing back at the sides
adjacent to the server installations and forming hot spots
(fig. 3).
1
2
If the air baffle plates remain in the front section of the
server enclosure, hot spots may form in the server enclosure (fig. 4).

Additionally, please observe the following regarding installed equipment in the server enclosure:
Ensure that the 482.6 mm (19") equipment is distributed as evenly as possible inside the server enclosure.
This prevents selective loading of the heat exchanger.
Install heavy equipment with high heat generation at
the bottom of the server enclosure, and passive components with low heat generation at the top.
If the server enclosure is not fully populated, seal the
open height units (U) in the 482.6 mm (19") level with
blanking plates, available as Rittal accessories (see
section 12 "Accessories").

5External air stream onto the LCP Hybrid
A serial layout is the best option. This means that cold air
produced by the LCP Hybrid is drawn in by a server enclosure positioned behind it. The LCP Hybrid installed
there cools the air from this enclosure, and so on.
If several server enclosures are positioned adjacent to
one another, each enclosure must be partitioned separately. To this end, we recommend using a partition between two enclosures, and a corresponding side panel
as the termination.

5.2Assembly procedure
5.2.1General
Before the Liquid Cooling Package can be bayed onto a
server enclosure, the following work should be carried
out:
– Seal the server enclosure,
– Dismantle the rear server enclosure door, if available
– Remove the lock pieces with the divided rear door and
– Fit the side panels.
After baying the Liquid Cooling Package, the optional air
routing kit may be installed.
5.2.2Seal the server enclosure
In order to ensure targeted air routing in the system, the
server enclosure is vertically divided into hot air and cold
air zones by sealing the 482.6 mm (19") level.
Proceed as follows to seal the 482.6 mm (19") level:
If the server enclosure is only partially configured, seal
the open sections of the 482.6 mm (19") level using
blanking plates. Screw these tightly into the server
rack from the rear.
5.2.3Dismantle the rear server enclosure door
For baying the LCP Hybrid, the rear door of the server
enclosure (if available) will need to be removed. The
frame of the LCP Hybrid is bayed to the server enclosure
frame in place of the existing server door.
Proceed as follows to dismantle the server enclosure
door:
Remove the sealing bungs from the four door hinges
using an appropriate tool (e.g. screwdriver).
Release and open the server enclosure door.
On each hinge, loosen the locking screw used to secure it to the server enclosure.

6.1Cooling water connection
The Liquid Cooling Package is connected to the cold
water network via two DN 25 (G1") threaded pipe connections (external thread) on the inlet and return (on the
underside of the unit). The connection nozzles are positioned vertically downwards. If there is a raised floor
present, connection to the on-site cold water network is
made in a downward direction.

Recommendation:
Ideally, Liquid Cooling Packages should be
connected to the cooling water circuit via a
water/water heat exchanger when using a
water/glycol mixture.
Benefit:
– Reduction of water volumes in the second-
ary circuit,
– Setting of a defined water quality,
– Setting of a defined inlet temperature and
– Setting of a defined volumetric flow.
Tichelmann principle and hydraulic balancing
For an efficient cold water supply to the Liquid Cooling
Package, the cold water system must be hydraulically
balanced. If the hydraulics are not balanced, the LCP
systems will not be supplied homogeneously with the required volume of cold water. This will adversely affect efficient operation.

Notes on water quality
For safe operation, it is vital that the requirements of Directive VDI 2035-2 are observed.
Note:
The maximum permissible working pressure
(PS1) of the LCP Hybrid is 6 bar. Membrane
expansion tanks and safety valves must be
used to ensure that this pressure is not exceeded.
Note:
Before commencing operation with water, all
supply lines must be adequately flushed.

6.2Bleeding the air from the heat exchanger
Two vent valves are installed at the uppermost point of
the heat exchanger package in the Liquid Cooling
Package. The unit is delivered with these valves fully
Position a collecting vessel underneath the open end
of the vent hose to collect any escaping water.
Open the two vent valves using the supplied bleed tool
until you hear the hiss of escaping air.
Wait until water escapes from the vent hoses, then
close the valves again completely.
Next, open both vent valves again slightly and check
whether any more air escapes.
If so, hold the vent valves open until water escapes
again.
Repeat this process until there are no bubbles visible
in the vent hose for a significant period of time, ensuring that there is no air left in the system.
Once you have finished the vent process, remove the
vent hose again, and secure it to the inside of the
maintenance door.
Close the inner maintenance door of the Liquid
Cooling Package.
Swing the LCP Hybrid towards the server enclosure
and close the door.
Note:
The system is usually bled during the course
of commissioning. This process may need to
be repeated if the device is failing to supply
the desired cooling output (see section 8
"Troubleshooting").

and helps to maintain the hydraulic balance of the system, especially when operating with other types of
units, such as convectors.
Note:
If the pipework for the Liquid Cooling
Package is laid according to the Tichelmann
principle, a taco-setter is not necessary.
Is the water supply properly insulated?
Proper insulation protects against condensate formation, especially on the cooling water inlet components.
Is there a good water supply available which meets the
quality requirements?
Water quality determines the lasting reliability of the
system. It ensures that no undesirable corrosion or
harmful deposits will occur. The exact manufacturer's
recommendations regarding water quality can be
found in section 13.1 "Hydrological information" of the
assembly and operating instructions of your Liquid
Cooling Package. It is important to ensure that the
recommended water quality is maintained even after
installation.
Was the pipework sufficiently flushed before the Liquid
Cooling Package was connected?
It is important to clean or flush the water circuits appropriately, especially for new installations. Experience
has shown that there are often remnants of sealants,
lubricants, and even metal chips in new systems,
which may lead to a premature failure of the Liquid
Cooling Package. Cleaning the cold water system
carefully before connecting the Liquid Cooling
Package ensures reliable operation later.
Are the permissible bending radii of the hoses adhered
to?
The hoses must not be kinked too tightly, otherwise
the flow volume may be impaired and the materials
may fatigue prematurely.
22Rittal Liquid Cooling Package
If the water quality of the primary cold water supply is inadequate, was a separate water circuit with a water/water heat exchanger installed?
If the cold water supply is strongly contaminated, it
may make sense to install a second, high quality cold
water circuit which is connected to the primary circuit
via a water/water heat exchanger. Even in this case,
the water circuit on the Liquid Cooling Package side
must be carefully cleaned before connecting the device. Our recommendations regarding water quality in
section 13.1 "Hydrological information" of the assembly and operating instructions of your Liquid Cooling
Package apply to this procedure as well.
7 Commissioning checklist

Was the water prepared/treated with the appropriate
additives?
In addition to our recommendations regarding water
quality, we recommend that the water be enriched
with corrosion inhibitor and/or antifreeze. Also, a treatment to prevent algae and biofilms may be expedient
in some cases.
Are unused height units in the bayed server enclosures
sealed with vertical blanking plates, and are the side vertical air baffle plates installed?
In order to prevent undesired air short circuits and circulation patterns inside the server enclosure, all unused height units of the 482.6 mm (19") level should
be closed off with blanking plates. This prevents the
warm air from being routed back in front of the installed equipment. The blanking plates are available in
various heights. The vertical air baffle plates installed
on each side of the server enclosure ensure that the
warm air cannot collect at the sides of the 482.6 mm
(19") level. Air baffle plates are available for 2 applications and 2 enclosure widths.
Venting of the Liquid Cooling Package
In order to ensure even water circulation through the
circuit and effective heat transfer, the Liquid Cooling
Package must be vented during commissioning.
Please feel free to contact Rittal if you have any questions or problems:
Before water is admitted, and, ideally before the ball
valves are opened, be sure to check that all connections are properly made.
Is the server enclosure equipped with suitable doors?
The front side/front door of the server enclosure must
have unrestricted air permeability, so that the servers
can draw in the cool ambient air at the front.
After admitting cold water:
Are all parts and connections watertight?
Please check to be sure that all parts and connections
which carry water are watertight. The Liquid Cooling
Package is subject to an individual, comprehensive
factory test, which also includes checking for leaks.
This additional check serves to locate problems, such
as possible transport damage, and to prevent greater
damage.

Unclean and aggressive water leads to a weakening of
the material and to improper
function.
During initial installation, the
pipe network and the system
parts should be flushed out
before installing the Liquid
Cooling Package.
Rittal GmbH & Co. KG recommends the installation of
filters and the treatment of
the water with appropriate
corrosion and, if needed, antifreeze additives. The recommended notes regarding
water quality are found in
section 13.1 "Hydrological
information".
When integrating into existing cold water networks, the
use of a water/water heat
exchanger is recommended.
This forms a second water
circuit.

9Inspection and maintenance
The Liquid Cooling Package is largely maintenance-free.
An additional external strainer with fine-mesh sieve
(0.25 mm) is required if the cooling water is contaminated. This should be cleaned regularly.
Visually inspect for leaks regularly (annual cycle).
The maintenance door to the Liquid Cooling Package
should be opened at regular intervals and the heat exchanger vacuumed clean.

Caution! Risk of damage!
The air/water heat exchanger must not
be subjected to temperatures above
+70°C during storage.
During storage, the air/water heat exchanger must be
laid on its side.
Disposal can be performed at the Rittal plant.
Please contact us for advice.
Emptying:
During storage and transportation below freezing point,
the air/water heat exchanger should be drained completely.
To this end, attach two vent hoses to the vent valves of
the Liquid Cooling Package and open the valves so that
the cooling fluid can run out (see section 6.2 "Bleeding
the air from the heat exchanger").
Caution! Risk of environmental contamination!
Refrigerant must not be released from
the heat pipes. It must be properly disposed of in accordance with the valid regional regulations.

13.1 Hydrological information
To avoid damages to the system and ensure reliable operation, the provisions of VDI 2035 should be observed
for filling and top-up water.
Admissible cooling media
– Saline and low-salinity water based on VDI 2035 plus
max. 50 volume percent Antifrogen-N (see table 6).
Recommended cooling medium
– Low-salinity water (demineralised water) based on VDI
2035. Up to a maximum of 50 volume percent Antifrogen-N may be added (see table 6).

13.2 Characteristic curves and tables
13.2.1 General
All information in the following tables refers to the use of
pure water as a cooling medium. The cooling performance data when using a water-glycol mixture is available on request from Rittal.
Proceed as follows to determine the required cooling
water temperature:
Determine the dew point for the room temperature
and relative humidity in the room (see section 13.2.2
"Determination of the dew point"). Alternatively, you
can use the h-x diagram (fig. 2).
Determine the minimum admissible cooling water
temperature by adding a safety margin of 3°C to this
figure.
Determine the required water throughput and
achieved cooling efficiency for the required airside
temperature difference T.
If the cooling efficiency determined in this way is 100%,
then the air outlet temperature from the LCP Hybrid will
be less than, or at the most, equal to the air inlet temperature into the server enclosure.
If the cooling efficiency determined in this way is less
than 100%, then the air outlet temperature from the LCP
Hybrid will be greater than the air inlet temperature into
< 100100…1,500
the server enclosure. The room temperature will rise accordingly over time.

14 Preparation and maintenance of the cooling medium
14Preparation and maintenance of
the cooling medium
Depending on the type of installation to be cooled, certain purity requirements are placed on the cooling water
in a recooling system. According to the level of contamination and the size and design of the recooling systems,
a suitable process is used to prepare and/or maintain
the water. The most common types of contamination
and frequently used techniques to eliminate them in industrial cooling are:
Type of impurityProcedure
EN
Mechanical contamination
Excessive hardnessSoften the water via ion exchange
Moderate content of
mechanical contaminants and hardeners
Moderate levels of
chemical contaminants
Biological contaminants, slime bacteria
and algae
Tab. 53: Cooling water contaminants and treatment procedures
Filter the water using:
Mesh filter, sand filter, cartridge filter, precoated filter, magnetic filter
Add stabilisers and/or dispersing
agents to the water
Add passifiers and/or inhibitors to
the water
Treat the water with biocides
Note:
For the proper operation of a recooling system that uses water on at least one side, the
composition of any additive used or system
water should not deviate substantially from
hydrological data presented in section 13.1
"Hydrological information".

16 Glossary
16Glossary
1U server:
1 U servers are very flat and deep, modern high performance servers, whose height corresponds to one
height unit (1 U = 44.54 mm, the smallest standard
height division). Typical dimensions are (W x H x D)
482.6 mm (19") x 1 U x 800 mm.
These systems normally include 2 CPUs, multiple GB
of RAM and hard drives, so that they require up to
100 m³/h cooling air at a maximum of 32°C.
482.6 mm (19") level:
The front of the devices built into the server enclosure
form the 482.6 mm (19") level.
Blade server:
By orienting dual CPU systems vertically and placing
up to 14 units on a common backplane to provide for
signal routing and power supply, a blade server is created.
Blade servers can "generate" up to 4.5 kW heat loss
per 7 U and 700 mm depth.
Switch:
Multiple servers normally communicate with one another and in the network using switches.
Because as many inputs as possible are located on
the front of switches, they frequently have an airflow
from the side, not "front to back" cooling.
EN
Hot spot:
A hot spot is the concentration of thermal energy in a
small area.
Hot spots normally lead to local overheating and can
cause system malfunctions.
Air/water heat exchanger:
Air/water heat exchangers operate according to the
same principle as automobile radiators. A liquid (water)
flows through the heat exchanger, while, at the same
time, air is blown over its surface area (which is as
large as possible), facilitating energy exchange.
Depending on the temperature of the circulating liquid
(water), an air/water heat exchanger may either heat or
cool the circulated air.
Recooling system:
As an initial comparison, a recooling system is like a
refrigerator – although unlike a household refrigerator,
a recooling system produces cold water via an active
cooling circuit. The thermal energy which is removed
from the water is dissipated to the outside by fans. Because of this, it is normally advisable to locate recooling systems outside of buildings.
Recooling systems and air/water heat exchangers
form a complete cooling solution.
