Design and implement optimized, cost effective data center, and A/C cooling solution.

Methodology

2

1. Create “Smart-aisle containment system” utilizing racks and in-line A/C units to dramatically reduce cooling footprint from 600 square feet to 60 square feet, a reduction of 90%.

2. Implement two networked precision cooling units to circulate airflow directly at data center equipment and regulate temperature as needed per rack mounted temperature sensors.

Initial design

The example below illustrates the original design

Original design Original cooling footprint was 600 sq. ft., huge wasted space.

60’

Revised design

4

The example below illustrates the revised design

New designNew cooling footprint design is 60 sq. ft.,

equals 90% reduction from original design.

Benefits of redesigned cooling system

5

Cost Savings: TBD after service commencement date

Operations and Maintenance: Reduced monthly and annual cooling costs due to 90% smaller cooling footprint.

Efficiency: Controlled thermodynamics and contained area provide higher efficiency cooling and lower operating costs. Benefits of fiber optic integrity
