Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHx)
Modern and effective rear door heat exchanger for data centers
RDHx Cooling: Do More with Less
Global Data Center managers all face a similar challenge – how can they maximize rack density as demand for high-performance compute (HPC) and AI workloads continue to increase? Additionally, but there is pressure for data centers to be more sustainable, by reducing power and water consumption.
Rear Door liquid cooling is an effective solution by immediately doubling rack density in your current data center footprint.
Rear Door cooling is the fastest, least invasive, and simplest liquid cooling deployment option to reduce data center electrical consumption, control thermal targets, and improve rack density for CPU and GPU workloads. This cooling door solution also significantly reduces the need to increase your facility HVAC requirements.
Existing Rack Density Challenges
-
Available space- More computing power requires more gear. Many operators are running out of data center space for new equipment.
-
Rising energy Costs- Increasing energy costs to run and cool the processors are exacerbating limited operational budgets, and electrical suppliers are maxed out on local energy grids.
-
Achieving sustainability- Sustainability metrics are important. Operators need to use less energy and water, not more.
How Rear Door Heat Exchanger Liquid Cooling Helps
- Achieve PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.1
- Enable increased GPU and CPU workload density
- Rack density can be maxed to 100KW or 150KW
- Simple deployment for: storage arrays, server GPUs & CPUs, or any other assets
- Easy newer device retrofit or upgrade legacy equipment for single-, multi-, or co-location tenants
- A rear door cooler improves thermal performance control
- Reduce server throttling

The Process Behind Rear Door Heat Exchanger Cooling
Implementing rear door heat exchangers is fast, simple, and non-disruptive to your data center. Here’s how it works:
- Cooling technology is simply added to the back of your racks.
- Closed-loop heat exchange equipment forces chilled air through your rack to safely cool equipment.
- Benefit from enhanced thermal management and reduced power and water consumption
