Sun Cooling Door 5600 System

Efficient cooling can yield tremendous savings on energy. That's why the Sun Cooling Door 5600 System, using refrigerant gas cooling technology, removes heat directly from the back of the Sun Blade 6048 Modular System. This rear-door passive design is much more efficient than standard datacenter cooling systems.


At a Glance

  • Up to 6x more efficient than traditional datacenter cooling systems
  • Compact, closely coupled design increases effective compute density by up to 70% over in-row cooling
  • Provides 2.3x the capacity of competitive passive cooling systems
  • Requires no fans or electricity
  • Removes heat directly from the back of the Sun Blade 6048 Chassis
  • Uses refrigerant gas coolant

Features and Benefits

  • Removes up to 100% of generated heat
  • Leverages state-of-the-art refrigerant-based technology: Liebert XD cooling systems
  • Adds only 5.9 inches to chassis, minimizing datacenter footprint
  • Up to 35 kW of cooling capacity per door (compare to 5 kW with traditional raised floor cooling)
  • Quieter and more reliable than traditional cooling modules


Choice of Cooling Technology

For a chilled water cooling solution, Sun also offers the Sun Cooling Door 5200 System. By offering two cooling technologies to choose from—unique in the industry—Sun makes long-term planning easier.

Refrigerant Gas Cooling

The Sun Cooling Door 5600 System removes heat from the Sun Blade 6048 Modular System with a Liebert XD system infrastructure. Sun recommends that customers contact Sun Professional Services (or one of our partners) to determine the most appropriate cooling strategy and design a deployment.


Sun Blade 6048 Modular System Support

The Sun Cooling Door 5600 System is an excellent cooling solution for the Sun Constellation System, the world's first open petascale computing environment. The cooling door system attaches to the back of the Sun Blade 6048 Chassis, which runs up to 48 Sun Blade server modules (up to 1152 processing cores) per rack, for up to 11 teraflops of performance.
