About Tripp Lite Rack Cooling In Row Air Conditioner
Tripp Lite’s SRCOOL33K is a computer room air conditioner meant for general computer room area cooling or supplemental cooling for large server rooms. The SRCOOL33K uses a new compressor technology that drastically cuts the energy consumption over a standard air conditioning model. It uses an inverter driven DC (direct current) variable speed compressor. A typical air conditioner uses an AC (alternating current) compressor that is either 100% on or 100% off. Each time the compressor turns on there are enormous in-rush current spikes. The unit runs for several minutes to cool the space then turns completely off. This start/stop sequence is not the most efficient way of running. Tripp Lite uses the inverter driven, variable speed, DC compressor technology. During start-up the SRCOOL33K has a slow-start feature that spools the compressor up slowly. This prevents the high in-rush current spike seen in AC driven compressors. Another feature is that it doesn’t need to run full on, then full off. The SRCOOL33K starts off at approximately 25% of its max cooling capacity. After two minutes, based on temperature and airflow readings, the unit steps up to 50% of max capacity. After an additional 2 minutes,if the current cooling capacity it’s running at is not sufficient, it increases again to 75% of max capacity. It will continue to increase to 100% of max cooling capacity after another two minutes if needed. This way you are only running the unit as high as needed without overkill (like a typical AC compressor that’s at 100% all the time when ‘on’.) Once the room starts cooling from these step levels the unit, again from temperature and pressure readings, starts to throttle down to a lower level. It chooses this level and constantly adjusts to simply maintain the cool in the room. Again, no start and stop like typical units. Just a slow steady ‘cruise control’ rate to maintain the room environment.
