Neptune DWC RM100 in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit 2. Operation 2.1 Controller Overview The RM100 controller is designed to monitor and control the supply of cooling water to IT equipment in unattended data centre environments. Secondary circuit cooling water is closely controlled to a defined temperature and at a controlled differential pressure (or flow rate), for optimum management of heat rejection.

Neptune DWC RM100 in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit The secondary fluid temperature is monitored at the reservoir tank. Three temperature sensors are positioned here to give extended component redundancy (T2a, T2b & T2c). The controller will take an average between all 3 readings as its input value.
Neptune DWC RM100 in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit 2.3.2 Primary Circuit Operation The primary water temperature (T1) is monitored at the inlet to the RM100 cabinet. The nominal cooling performance of the CDU has been calculated on a chilled water temperature between 4 and 10°C (40 and 50°F).
Neptune DWC RM100 in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit 2.4 Temperature Control Loop Adjustment In most applications, the default PID settings in the controller with give good temperature control. If it is found necessary to change these, then it is recommended that the Zeigler-Nichols manual tuning method is adopted.
