Chip Thinking® for data centre design: Enhancing efficiency and reducing risk

Each of these facets must work in harmony to maximise the potential for optimal data centre design and that is impossible to do when the project is divided up and these areas are treated separately..

The graph shows both operating modes of the same size HDAC unit providing two different heat rejection capacities.. Air-cooled chiller (Free Cooling):.This option is included in the graph, but the chiller size is at a disadvantage because it incorporates additional components beyond just the heat unit (chiller) such as evaporators, compressors, condensers, and, in some cases, a CHW pump.

However, some air-cooled chillers achieve results comparable to dry air coolers.. All adiabatic plants require water treatment equipment and water storage, which, based on the installation and resilience required, can be considerable.However, these have a lower priority to be situated adjacent to the equipment and can be located elsewhere on site..Emergence of Liquid Cooling.

Data centres can leverage liquid cooling strategies to optimise efficiency.One approach combines direct-to-chip liquid cooling for processors and GPUs with traditional air cooling for other components within the rack.

Initially, both systems might be connected to the same chilled water infrastructure..

Single phase immersion cooling offers the ability for higher rack densities than direct-to-chip, however, the IT equipment must be immersion ready which is not standard off the shelf equipment and for some IT manufacturers, not yet available.Through various initiatives, including the use of social procurement mechanisms and community benefit agreements, Chandos leverages its projects to provide social value.

These efforts are aligned with IPD principles by ensuring that projects not only meet technical specifications but also contribute positively to the communities involved.. 4.Economic and workforce impact:.

Tim’s personal journey from an at-risk youth to a prominent business leader underlines the transformative power of inclusive employment practices.He underscores the critical need for the construction industry to address workforce shortages through innovative approaches like IPD, which can attract and retain talent by emphasising collaboration and community impact.. 5.
