Data Center Assessment
Optimizing your Data Center
A Data Center Assessment identifies and helps you resolve infrastructure vulnerabilities that risk your data center availability and waste potential capacity. As part of the Data Center Assessment, Alexander Schneider's experts conduct a comprehensive inspection that includes:
โข On-site thermal and air-conditioning assessment
โข Assessment of the electrical infrastructure
โข Roadmap for expansion of the IT load
โข Recommendations for implementing new loads and new IT systems
โข Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study and report (optional)
โข Cable management best practices
โข Recommendations for cost savings including PUE and energy savings
The assessment includes a report that documents the findings and lists recommendations about how to best protect the health of your data center and increase your energy efficiency. The assessment is concluded through a presentation of the findings by an expert.
The vital data generated in the assessment examines your data centerโs present and future IT load capabilities and will help you save 20%-60% of your electrical bills; thereby assisting you in gauging your budget requirements.
โ
Data Center Integration
Ready for the Future?
Are you ready for the cloud? Is your data center based on best practices? Are you aware of the potential cost and energy savings available to your organization?
Some of the most advanced and energy efficient data centers in Israel have been built by Alexander Schneiderโs IT unit. Our data centers are cloud ready. In fact, they are built for scalability and agility so they are future-ready.
We understand that your data center needs to be resilient, agile and cost-effective. Our methodology lets you utilize best practices and the most advanced technologies and still lower your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). How do we do this?
1. With energy efficiency. The energy bill is the largest item in the TCO. We help you build a data center that is energy efficient.
2. Scalability and modularity - lower your capex today and have the ability to expand as you grow.
Project Management
We are proud of our project management capabilities. When combined with our vast experience in data center design-and-build methodologies, our data centers are built for efficiency and resilience. Using data center best practices, we provide leading-edge cooling, power, network, and management solutions and enable our customers to accelerate schedules and adopt private cloud computing technologies.
โ
Data Center Commissioning
Prevent Data Center Downtime
So you have built a new data center. You have invested in N+1 or 2N redundancy because data center resiliency is crucial. You committed to your internal and external customers that your data center will not crash. But how confident are you? Do you have nightmares about data center downtime?
The Data Center Commissioning process is designed to test the data centerโs physical infrastructure prior to populating it with IT equipment and before entering the production phase.
The Server Emulator
We have designed a unique tool to make the data center commissioning process highly effective. Alexander Schneider's server emulator is a 19", 6U device that has a dual power supply and features variable power dissipation (1KW to 4KW in 1 KW increments) and variable air flow (up to 400 CFM) to simulate server blades and 1U or 2U servers.
The server emulator is the tool that enables us to be the only company that delivers a true load test, from 1K to 28KW per cabinet.
A Real Life Test
We test the data centers under variable true loads. We test the data center's design, implementation, and real life hardware performance. We test the workmanship of the contractors who built it. Best practices dictate that a true commissioning process is a MUST for Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 data centers.
One Day ROI
Data center downtime can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. When we discover a problem during the Data Center Commissioning process, the prevention of future problems results in an immediate ROI.
โ
CFD Modeling
Data Center Planning Begins with CFD
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is an engineering software that Alexander Schneider's experts use to build a thermal model of the data center and to simulate โwhat ifโ scenarios.
Best Practices Require CFD Analysis.
CFD analysis is an essential step in today's data center best practices.
Using CFD we understand why hot spots occur and how to prevent them. We analyze the air flow and heat behavior of the air in the data center and understand how we can cost effectively optimize the data center.
Prevent Design Mistakes. Reduce Downtime Risk.
CFD is an essential tool in designing a new data center and analyzing an existing data center prior to upgrade. CFD analysis can save you Capex and Opex and reduce your data center's downtime risks.
Capacity Planning
For an existing and operating data center, CFD is used to estimate your remaining cooling capacity so you know what your data center can currently handle. In addition, you can save costly trial-and-error exercises by simulating expansion scenarios to select the most optimal roadmap.
โ
Battery Monitoring
Making Every Cell Count
Are data center availability and resilience important to you? Do you worry about data center downtime? Our local or cloud-based battery monitoring services provide reassurance.
Batteries are the number 1 reason for data center downtime. A single bad cell in a battery can cause your whole data center to crash just when you switch to UPS. The fact is that organizations spend millions on redundancy but neglect to monitor battery soundness and, as a result, suffer from costly downtime
Our battery monitoring system service is based on sensors we attach to each battery. A local IP appliance collects battery status data. With this data we can not only detect bad batteries but predict when a battery is going to fail, months in advance.
Battery monitoring can be done locally by purchasing our battery monitoring system. Alternatively, Alexander Schneider can provide it as a remote service.
โ
Data Center Upgrade
Out of Data Center Capacity?
If you need to add more IT equipment or do an IT refresh, and you think you are out of capacity, think again. Our Data Center Upgrade program helps you retrieve your hidden capacity, adopt best practices, and improve your energy efficiency
A Proven Track Record
A number of our customers have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in energy bills thanks to our data center upgrade services. For example, we helped one of our customers add 1.5MW (!) of blades into a 12 year old data center which was out of capacity.
So call our team of experts and invite us to your data center. We will help you migrate to Data Center Best Practices with little or no downtime.

Cylinder Block and Cylinder Head
Cylinder block
i01747119
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. The cylinder block provides support for the ful length of the dry cylinder liners. Some cylinder blocks have a flame ring above the cylinder liner flange.
The cylinder liners are made of cast iron. The production liners and the replacement liners meet a press fit in the cylinder block. Both types of cylinder liners are honed to a specialy controled finish in order to ensure long life and low oil consumption.
The cylinder block has a bushing that is instaled for the front camshaft journal. The other camshaft journals run directly in the cylinder block.
Cylinder head
The cylinder head assembly has one inlet valve and one exhaust valve for each cylinder. Each cylinder valve has a double valve spring or a single valve spring. The valve and the valve spring are held in position by a valve spring cap and two colets.
The inlet valve and the exhaust valve move in phosphated guides. These valve guides can be replaced. There is an oil seal that fits over the top of valve guide.
The valve seats are replaceable. The ports for the inlet valve and the exhaust valves are on the right side of the cylinder head.
Pistons and Connecting Rods
Pistons and Rings
The pistons have a Quadram or a Fastram combustion chamber in the top of the piston. This chamber ensures an ef icient mix of fuel and air. The pistons are available with dif erent heights.
The pistons have two compression rings and an oil control ring. The groove for the top ring has a hard metal insert that reduces wear of the groove. The skirt has a layer of graphite that reduces wear. The of ยญcenter piston pin reduces the noise level.
Turbocharged engines have a piston cooling jet that is instaled in the cylinder block for each cylinder. The piston cooling jet sprays lubricating oil onto the inner surface of the piston in order to cool the piston.
Connecting Rods
The connecting rods are machined from forged molybdenum steel. Connecting rods for naturaly aspirated engines have a smal end that has the shape of a square. Connecting rods for turbocharged engines have a smal end that has the shape of a wedge.
The location of the bearing cap to the connecting rod is generaly made by serrations. The cap is mounted to the connecting rod by two nuts and bolts. Some locations of connecting rods and bearing caps may be made by dowels inserted in the bearing cap. The faces of these connecting rods and caps are flat. The cap is mounted to the connecting rod by two bolts.
Crankshaft and Vibration Damper
Crankshaft
The crankshaft has five main journals for four cylinder engines and seven main journals for six cylinder engines.
End play of the crankshaft is controled by two half thrust washers that are located on both sides of the center main bearing.
The main bearings are made with a steel back and a bearing material. The bearing material is constructed of an aluminum and tin aloy. The exception is the center main bearing for six cylinder engines, which is lead bronze with a lead finish. The main bearing caps are made of cast iron or spheroidal graphite (SG) iron.
Vibration Damper
The vibration damper is designed as a viscous damper. The vibration damper is only instaled on the 3056 engine. Al of the vibration dampers are designed for the suppression of torsional vibrations in the engine crankshaft.
Timing Gear Case and Gears
The timing case is constructed of either aluminum or cast iron. The aluminum cover of the timing case contains the front oil seal.
The timing gears are made of steel or cast iron.
The crankshaft gear drives an upper idler gear and a lower idler gear. The upper idler gear drives the camshaft and the fuel injection pump. The lower idler gear drives the oil pump or the balancer unit. The water pump drive gear is driven by the fuel injection pump.
The camshaft and the fuel injection pump rotate at half the engine speed.
Camshaft
The engine has a single camshaft. The camshaft is made of cast iron. The camshaft lobes and the eccentric lobe for the transfer pump are chil hardened.
The camshaft is driven at the front end. As the camshaft turns, the camshaft lobes move the valve system components. The valve system components move the cylinder valves.
The camshaft gear must be timed to the crankshaft gear. The relationship between the lobes and the camshaft gear causes the valves in each cylinder to open at the correct time. The relationship between the lobes and the camshaft gear also causes the valves in each cylinder to close at the correct time.

Electrical System
The electrical system is a negative ground system.
The charging circuit operates when the engine is running. The alternator in the charging circuit produces direct current for the electrical system.
Starting Motor
The starting motor turns the engine flywheel. The rpm must be high enough in order to initiate a sustained operation of the fuel ignition in the cylinders.
The starting motor has a solenoid. When the ignition switch is activated, voltage from the electrical system wil cause the solenoid to move the pinion toward the flywheel ring gear of the engine. The electrical contacts in the solenoid
close the circuit between the battery and the starting motor barely before the pinion engages the ring gear. This causes the starting motor to rotate. This type of activation is caled a positive shift.
When the engine begins to run, the overrunning clutch of the pinion drive prevents damage to the armature. Damage to the armature is caused by excessive speeds. The clutch prevents damage by stopping the mechanical connection. However, the pinion wil stay meshed with the ring gear until the ignition switch is released. A spring in the overrunning clutch returns the clutch to the rest position.
Alternator
The alternator produces the folowing electrical output:
Threeยญphase
Fulยญwave
Rectified
The alternator is an electroยญmechanical component that has brushes. The alternator is driven by a belt from the crankshaft puley. The alternator charges the storage battery during the engine operation.
The alternator is cooled by an external fan which is mounted behind the puley. The fan forces air through the holes in the front of the alternator. The air exits through the holes in the back of the alternator.
The alternator converts the mechanical energy and the magnetic energy into alternating current and voltage. This conversion is done by rotating a direct current electromagnetic field on the inside of a threeยญphase stator. The electromagnetic field is generated by electrical current flowing through a rotor. The stator generates alternating current and voltage.
The alternating current is changed to direct current by a threeยญphase, fulยญwave rectifier. Direct current flows to the output terminal of the alternator. The rectifier has three exciter diodes. The direct current is used for the charging process.
A solidยญstate regulator is instaled on the rear end of the alternator. Two brushes conduct current through two slip rings. The current then flows to the rotor field. A capacitor protects the rectifier from high voltages.
The alternator is connected to the battery through the ignition switch. Therefore, alternator excitation occurs when the switch is in the ON position.
Fuses
Note: Fuses protect the electrical system against short circuits. The risk of a short circuit is highest when the electrical system is being connected.
The fuses are located in the control panel for the generator set.
Cutaway view of the typical location
(6) Negative fuse
(7) Belt cover
An additional fuse is located at the front of the engine behind the belt cover. The fuse protects the engine wiring from damage. Do not connect the positive battery terminal to the cylinder block. Damage to the electrical system can be the result.
