Degree Controls enhances data center efficiency offerings

March 31, 2008—Degree Controls, Inc., a leader of thermal and airflow technologies for the data center, has unveiled AdaptivCool Room Scale Intelligent Cooling (RSIC), a full-service thermal management solution that reduces data center energy consumption and cooling costs.

AdaptivCool Room Scale Intelligent Cooling (RSIC) is the next-generation version of AdaptivCool, which entered the market in 2006, notes the company. The enhancements in AdaptivCool RSIC—the result of two years of intense research and development—help customers reduce data center energy consumption and increase computing load without deploying additional cooling capacity.

AdaptivCool RSIC's temperature sensors send information to a sophisticated Cooling Resource Manager that calculates minute-by-minute cooling demand and controls data center airflow dynamically via floor- and ceiling-mounted air movers, says Degree Controls. Cool air is optimally directed to equipment that requires it and hot air is returned back to the air-conditioning unit—reducing over-cooling, eliminating hotspots and reducing electrical consumption for data center cooling by up to 30 percent.
