What does this mean for you?

Cost and Availability
Currently the price of R22 is 7X the cost of current refrigerants (R407C and R410A) and increasing every day, AND many supply houses are limiting the quantity per sale to avoid stock piling. Reclaimed R22 will be available after 2020, but its price is expected to increase.

Options to Eliminate R22 at Your Facility
What can you do if you currently have Data Center Air Conditioners with R22? Now is the time to plan for the future. You essentially have 3 choices:

• Stick it out with R22 knowing that future repairs will be expensive
• Retrofit the unit with a new refrigerant…This is not recommended due to potential incompatible piping, devices, loss of capacity, and a decrease in efficiency
• Replace the units with new compliant refrigerants units that are designed to deliver higher efficiencies. The Vertiv™ Liebert® DSE is a great choice.

In this age of Hybrid Computing, we have found that many of our customers’ large Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) are running very low loads compared to their original design requirements. This is due, in large part, to many applications migrating to the Cloud and Colocation Facilities. However, UPS Power is still required for their remaining “on-premises” and “edge” computing needs.

DVL recently did analysis for a customer who was experiencing this scenario. They had a pair of 750 KVA UPS’s in a redundant configuration (2N) running at 30KVA each. This is a very inefficient point to run a UPS! In addition, they were facing a wet cell battery replacement that would cost them $355K. Without replacing the batteries, they were running the risk of a failure that could jeopardize their entire business. 

When it comes to running a cost efficient and energy efficient data center, science is key. More specifically, the science behind tried and true tools and calculators can go a long way. Before you try to reinvent the wheel, check out DVL's invaluable resources, including several from Vertiv and Geist, that will help you optimize your data center's power and cooling.

Currently, we have seven great tools that will help you determine your infrastructure's sizing, power, and thermal needs. These resources include:

• DVL Design Your Data Center Worksheet
• Vertiv PDU/UPS Selector
• Vertiv Power Product Selector
• Geist PDU Finder
• Liebert VSD and Liebert EC Fan Upgrades Calculator
• Vertiv Free Cooling Economozier Calculator
• Vertiv Digital Scroll Compressor Energy Savings
