Thermal Test Lab
Highly configurable, the RD&T Center’s Thermal Test Lab allows CPI to model real-world data center issues, demonstrate the efficiencies of CPI Passive Cooling® Solutions and discuss with customers how to effectively design their data center for optimum thermal management. The lab includes access, slab and shared floor environments, a drop ceiling return plenum, two rows of eight cabinets each and two Stulz CCD-300-CWE CRAC units.
