02/ RELIABILITY IN DATA CENTRES

Servers housed in data centres generate vast amounts of heat and as much as 40% of the total operational costs can be attributed to the energy expenditure for cooling systems. Insulating cooling equipment and distribution systems can help to optimise energy consumption and prevent condensation.

RELIABLE INSULATION FOR DATA CENTRES

As electrical equipment in data centres generates vast amounts of heat, round-the-clock cooling is required to ensure optimum operating temperature ranges. Independent of the design, three important factors need to be considered when choosing the right insulation material for the cooling system.

Efficient thermal insulationThe goal of insulation is to prevent heat loss or heat gain. The selected material must be efficient in minimising energy losses from piping while refrigerant or cooling liquid is being piped to its destination.

Effective condensation controlInsulation can help to prevent condensation on pipework carrying cooling liquid or refrigerant. Dripping condensed water can lead to serious issues, especially with electrical equipment located close by. The installed insulation material should not be prone to absorbing any condensation because for every 1% of moisture gained in cellular plastic insulation material, there is an estimated loss of 3% to 5% in thermal efficiency.

Dust- and fibre-free materialCustomers expect the highest quality of air cleanliness, as contaminants in a data centre can lead to components overheating, and electrical or mechanical failure of components, power supplies and circuit boards. A dust- and fibre-free insulation material is recommended in such cleanroom and mission-critical environments.

RELIABILITY IN DATA CENTRES /03

Wherever energy is transmitted, part of this valuable resource will be lost if the equipment is not, or poorly, insulated. Our dedicated range of ArmaFlex® products offers enormous energy-saving potential. Armacell‘s in-house quality control programmes ensure that the insulation material has a fine, closed-cell structure to provide consistent low thermal conductivity and high resistance to water vapour transmission. This means that equipment installed with ArmaFlex enjoys reliable and long-term protection against energy loss and condensation. Unlike conventional insulation materials that have to be protected against moisture penetration with a separate vapour barrier, ArmaFlex has a built-in water vapour barrier to offer reliable resistance to water vapour transmission throughout its entire insulation thickness.

CONDENSATION CONTROL

SAVEENERGY.NO FIBRE LEAKAGE.

No other insulation material can be installed as reliably, neatly, simply and as fast as ArmaFlex. ArmaFlex can be quickly and easily cut on-site to match the pipe runs and contours. Application times can be further reduced by using self-adhesive sheets. We also offer a complete range of accessories, such as adhesives and cleaners that have been developed especially for our products and tested as a system.

Fast installation in tight spacesMaterial flexibility is a key advantage in tight-fitting conditions.

NEAT AND SIMPLE INSTALLATION

Leading international bodies have certified that ArmaFlex offers an excellent fire safety performance in line with stringent fire safety test standards. It is a self-extinguishing insulation material that does not drip or spread fire. ArmaFlex Class 0 with Arma-Chek Silver insulation material is highly recommended for data centres due its aesthics nature and mechanical protection properties. Depending on the area of installation, other ArmaFlex products could also be considered. ArmaFlex Class 0 is FM Approved and classified as Class 0 according to British Standards BS 476 Parts 6 and 7. The product also complies with the safety, reliability and performance standards of various local and international fire safety and green building bodies, such as the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) & GRIHA. AP/ArmaFlex is a low smoke insulation material than standard flexible elastomeric foam insulation during a fire as per ASTM E84.

EXCELLENT FIRE PERFORMANCE

Fire test to determine heat release and smoke generation of pipe insulation.


Efficient cooling systems are essential for keeping data center servers in optimal operating condition - and that means a careful choice of insulation materials.Armacell makes it easy to specify the right insulation for mechanical systems in data centers.
