Cooling loop sizing
Sizing the cooling loops can be straight forward based on the planned cooling requirements of each
populated/planned MCS-200/100 server enclosure. The amount of heat, in watts, that needs to be removed
from each component in the server rack must be added together to obtain the total heat to be removed by the
MCS-200/100 cabinet. You can copy the following table for documenting individual cabinet calculations.
Calculations must include the equipment installed today and additional equipment planned for installation
over the design life of the system.

Total for Cabinet*
*An approximate value can be estimated by assuming all power entering the cabinet is converted to heat.
After calculating the total expected required heat load, use the charts in “Determining heat load capacities
(on page 72)” to determine required water flow and pressure based on potential chilled water temperatures.
The PSID must be measured prior to the cold water inlet/after warm water outlet. All water system equipment,
materials, and installation must comply with any applicable construction codes and LAHJ.
Determining heat load capacities
The total airflow required by the equipment installed in each server rack must be compared with the total
available supply from the MCS-200/100, so it is not exceeded. The fans in the MCS-200/100 are
speed-controlled to reduce the airflow in case the maximum cooling capacity is not demanded from the
MCS-200/100.
