 Design a data centre for a large computing company  To have high efficiency standards  Utilise renewable technology  To be an exemplar in design for future data centres

 5MW IT equipment that has to be continuously cooled to prevent over heating  Fail safe power supply  Fully functioning office space to hold forty staff and ten security with catering space

All loads calculated for one of four individual server rooms BTU values based from online calculator Occupants Not normally occupants in server room except for maintenance Assuming worst conditions – assume max of 5 people Occupants BTU = No of occupants x 400 = 5 x 400 = 2000BTU or 590Watts Equipment Number of racks x wattage per rack = 90 x = Watts Solar Gains No windows in server room so no solar gains Ignored any gains/losses through walls due large heat gains inside.

Floor Area of Room Amount of cooling depends on area of the room Room area BTU = Length(m) x Width(m) x 337 = 20 x 17 x 337 = BTU or 33600Watts Lighting Overcompensating as lights will not be on most of time Total wattage of lighting x 4.25 = 750 x 4.25 = 3188BTU or 930Watts Total Cooling Load Total = = Watts or 1.358MW

Fan, Filtering and Mechanical Cooling unit Based on Stulz Cyber Air with direct Free Cooling and fold away heat exchanger. Air Flow Capacity – 10.28m3/s Require Units Per room = 86.66/10.28 = 9 Units required In Direct Free Cooling mode the heat exhanger folds away and allows conditioned ambient air to flow in. Warmer Temps – Heat exchanger folds in and refrigeration based cooling is done through integrated compressors

System Specs Compressor Power Consumption – 22.4kW Fan Power Consumption – 7.8kW No of Fans per Unit – 3 One Server Room 9units x [ (7.8 x 3)] = 412.2kW Total Power Demand for Cooling System 4 Rooms x = 1.65MW

Hybrid Ventilation Natural ventilation No requirement in electricity Use local natural energy : wind Wind : - average speed : 10km/h - main direction : out of South West

Hybrid Ventilation Natural ventilation : Design - Direct natural ventilation openings depending on the prevailing wind (South-West) - airflow velocity as to be maintain between 0.1 and 0.15 m/s in the building Requirement OPEN PLAN AERA : CELLULAR OFFICES : SECURITY AERA : CANTEEN AERA : TOILET AERA : AREA OF PASSAGE : Openings’ Suface (Vents) 8,641,604,3212,962,162,43 Size of each Vent (m 2) 0,480,400,480,720,540,60 Number of Vent

Hybrid Ventilation Mechanical ventilation However, wind may be an random ressource so we need to install a mechanical ventilation to provide fresh air when there is not enough wind.

Heating System - Recover the heat from the servers to heat the rooms - Exhausted air temperature from servers degrees C. - A part of the heat of the servers is collected before the cooling system and redistributed through conduits - No need to consume extra energy
