We have an existing data center and it was originally designed with one refurb Liebert System 3 and one new System 3 (the refurb was brought in due to lead times). Aside from "looks" the refurb unit functions perfectly well and I was told the refurb company guts the unit and uses mostly new parts yada yada yada...... These are chilled water only units - no compressors. We are in need of a 3rd unit and I am trying to determine if we should go with another refurb or new ? The refurb unit is about half the price, but what I am wondering is if there is an efficiency issue (in terms of power consuption / and cooling in general) that would warrant the extra cost of the new unit ? Just to give an idea - its about a $10K savings. I tried to do some lookups for white papers, etc and couldn't find anything and I am trying to avoid bringing in an engineer to run the calcs as that will defeat most of the savings. Any info / docs / links would be appreciated. Thanks Eric -- Eat sushi frequently. - Avi [email protected] is the human contact address. [email protected] is the list posting address.
