Glycol cooled systems are advantageous because they are efficient and can service large data centers with multiple racks. Furthermore, glycol pipes can run long distances, allowing a single system to service several CRAC units. This eliminates the need for multiple systems, resulting in cost savings and reduced maintenance.
Questions 5
For which one of these processes is Direct Current essential, and will not work with alternating current?
Direct Current (DC) is essential for the process of electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of breaking down a compound using an electric current. The electric current causes ions to move, which results in a chemical reaction that breaks down the compound. In order for electrolysis to work, a direct current is required, as the ions must flow in one direction. Alternating Current (AC) changes direction and would not provide a consistent flow of ions.
Heating, lighting, and turning a motor can be done by either DC or AC. Heating can be done by passing an electric current through a heating element, which can be powered by either DC or AC. Lighting can be done by passing an electric current through a light bulb, which can be powered by either DC or AC. A motor can be powered by either DC or AC, but the type of motor and the application will determine which type of current is more suitable.
Questions 6
Which one of the following is a disadvantage of Water Cooled System?
Options:
A.
All components are located inside the CRAC
B.
Condenser water piping loops long distances
C.
Usage of the building's condenser water is less expensive than chilled water
Water cooled systems introduce an additional source of liquid, which can be a potential source of contamination and damage to the IT equipment. Additionally, water cooled systems require more maintenance than air cooled systems and are more expensive to install due to the additional cost of the cooling tower, piping, and pumps.
