HPC Data Center Facility Hot Buttons

– Research computing strategic to customer’s mission

– Flexibility, scalability and energy efficiency

– Data Center Facility funding typically NOT in IT/Research budgets

– Back-up Power a “Want”, rather than a “Need”

– HPC data centers typically NOT Tier III+ Facilities

– Large Compute Load requires additional MEP space

– High-Density Cooling (20-100 kW/rack)

• Liquid cooled IT now or in the near future

– Expedited Construction Schedule to accommodate new system

– Construction Budget often underestimated

– Campus central plant vs. Self-contained infrastructure analysis

HPC Data Center Facility Current State Sustainability

– Airside Cooling

• Direct OA Economizer

− Water for humidification only

− Very low PUE

− Outside air quality must be good

− Scalable and modular

− Many configurations possible

− Must separate intake and exhaust

− Containment a good match

• Indirect OA Economizer

− Outside air quality not an issue

− More mechanical room space req.

− Very low PUE

− Outside air quality must be good

− Scalable and modular

− Many configurations possible

− Must separate intake and exhaust

− Containment a good match

HPC Data Center Facility Current State Sustainability

– Waterside Cooling

• Waterside Economizer with Cooling

towers

• Dry-cooler or Evaporative Cooler

– Refrigerant Systems

©2012 HP 8

HPC Data Center Facility Current State Sustainability

– Heat Reclaim Systems

• Air handling units

• Chillers and heat pump

– Photovoltaic Systems

– LEED, Energy Star & Others

HPC Data Center Facility What is changing?

– New liquid cooled designs focused on high delta T to enable more

heat reclaim

©2012 HP 10

HPC Data Center Facility What is changing?

– More kW per rack and greater reliance on liquid cooling lead to piping

planning issues

• Space needed to inspect, service and modify piping

• Space for multiple systems

• Space for removal and replacement

©2012 HP 11

HPC Data Center Facility Special Opportunities

– Modular and Scalable Approach

– Co-location of building types that can yield big benefits from heat

reclaim

• Office

• Laboratory

• Central Plant

• Food Service

Q&A SCOTT WILSON, PE, LEED AP BD+C

HP CFS MECHANICAL PRACTICE LEADER

SCOTT.WILSON5@HP.COM

– HPC data center design issues to maximize

sustainability

• Flexibility to accommodate air and liquid cooling

• Prepare for multiple mechanical systems

• Large piping infrastructure likely

• Opportunities to maximize heat reclaim
