•
Cooling or heat rejection capacity should be defined in kilowatts (kW)
•
Based on: Air and coolant flow rates, inlet temperatures to HX and operation at sea-
level
•
Performance curves (or tables) should be provided for both normal and fan failure
operation
•
Active variant
•
N+1 rotor/fan redundancy is a must
•
Total power consumption should be ≤ 2% of rated cooling capacity (not including fan
failure)
•
De-rating factors for cooling capacity based on coolant selection (with
respect to water) and altitude (with respect to sea-level)
•
Air- and coolant-side pressure drop curves should be provided
