Chilled water cycle
MVAC System
- Chillers with elevated chilled water temperature
Ideas Energy Saving
• Data servers accepts a higher temperature environment than human Approx. 15% comparing to a
chiller with 7 °C leaving chilled
• Increasing LCHWT to 10 °C→ Lower the LIFT→ Reduce Compressor
water temperature.
Work Done→ Reduce Energy Consumption
5
MVAC System
- Adopt higher ∆T
Ideas Energy Saving
• Typical chilled water is 7 / 12.5 °C ( 5.5 °C ∆T) Approx. 12% comparing to a
chiller with 5.5°C ∆T
• Data centre chilled water 10 /18 °C ( 8°C ∆T)

Less chilled water circulation
Smaller pipe sizing

Save pump energy
MVAC System
- Resilience – Cooling System
• Continuous Cooling provided for Rack > 4kW as recommended by Uptime
Cooling Equipment Backup Provision

CRAC unit UPS power backup
Water circulation pump UPS power backup
7 Chiller Thermal Energy Storage (TES)
system backup
MVAC System
- Resilience – Cooling System
• Usage of Thermal Tank in Data Centre
• Capacity of thermal tank – Support 10 minutes full load storage
• Minimum backup time from the industry to allow for the startup of chillers and respond
time from the operation
Adopted Model
MVAC System
- Cold aisle containment in data hall
Ideas Energy Saving
• To avoid short-circuit problem between hot Approx. 21%
and cold aisles comparing to data
hall without
• Cold air circulated but not provide cooling to
