This is understandable, but it’s a missed opportunity.
This can translate to low reliance on mechanical cooling and potentially exceptional PUE values..Using water for adiabatic cooling allows the unit to cool the air close to the wet bulb temperature of the ambient air as opposed to the dry bulb temperature (dry cooling).
Due to the wet bulb temperature being often many degrees below coincident dry bulb temperature, in high dry bulb conditions this can mitigate the requirement for mechanical cooling.. Data Centre with DEC unit.Chilled water system flexibility.The most common systems installed in data centres use chilled water as the medium between the internal and external units.
Chilled water systems offer significant flexibility:.Data hall configuration:.
Chilled water systems can accommodate various data hall layouts and are suitable for future integration of liquid cooling technologies.. Heat rejection plant location:.
The heat rejection plant can be positioned on the roof or even remotely from the data hall itself, providing valuable design freedom..Data centres are expensive.
Being able to compress the time from project inception to occupancy, as well as having reliable procurement and supply chain, and a predictable construction programme, is hugely valuable in being able to defer CapEx and cost of finance.. One of the core principles of DfMA is the standardisation of parts and construction/assembly processes.It enables the ‘industrialisation’ of data centre design and construction.
This allows us to work with clients to standardise procurement, through a prearranged supply chain with stockholding, if necessary, of pre-agreed capital plant and equipment.It enables speed of installation through on-site assembly of prefabricated and pre-assembled parts in a safe and controlled manner.
