Cooling solution is a key area of data center design. Cooling solution design must take into consideration energy
consumption, capacity management and redundancy etc.
The most appropriate cooling solution design for a data center must first and foremost be based on the local climate and
geography at the project location; once this system has been decided upon, late changes are unlikely to occur, without
incurring extreme costs. In order to reduce the operational energy consumption and improve PUE, heat recovery and
free cooling design have become standout and desirable factors for data centers, particularly where local conditions can
be exploited.
The above figure represents a typical timeline for any given data center project. Such a project is necessarily a longterm process, where each stage interlocks with, and influences, all others; i.e. site selection will have a large impact on
project design. Each stage has clear goals and objectives, and requires a highly technical and professional standard of
execution. The start-with-the-end way of thinking is essential for all the datacenter projects.
Commissioning
Planning and Site Selection
As a capital-intensive item of critical infrastructure, the site selection of a data center is a critical starting point, which
directs the entire project lifecycle. Selecting a suitable location and site requires a comprehensive accumulation of
knowledge and practices including risk assessment, ROI analysis, geo-politics, connectivity analysis, market analysis,
technical design, and OPEX analysis. A rational and justified location plan will fundamentally determine the success or
failure of a data center project.
Commissioning is a verification process data center projects undergo before they are put into operation. The professional
commissioning process can thoroughly verify the performance of all key equipment, the integration of the entire
system, the operational document flow and the rationality of the organizational structure. This process encapsulates a
comprehensive risk assessment before the entire project is delivered.

Data Center Operation
The Importance of Data Center Cooling
The eventual operation of a data center requires a well-developed and executed long-term plan which aims to optimize
all aspects of the entire facility, as well as minimize risk exposure through ensuring all service and maintenance
requirements are undertaken. This plan will typically span several decades and include staffing and organization plan,
As a critical factor in the effective and efficient operation of a data center, the cooling infrastructure accounts for a large

and optimization encompasses a wide knowledge base which not only considers universal best-practice programs but
must also factor in analysis of the specific and unique characteristics of each individual project.

center. In order to achieve the best performance (including reliability, maintainability, and energy consumption, etc.) the
cooling system will generally need to be highly customized to suit the specific requirements of each individual project;
designs are generally not repeatable and standardization is difficult. A wide variety of heat recovery, airflow management,
and free cooling solutions are often key factors in determining the operational effectiveness and profitability of a data
center project.

Successful cases of datacenter
projects in AIRSYS
Jiaxing Travelsky Cloud Data Center
China Mobile Data Center in Jilin
Project overview
Project overview
Travelsky Cloud Data Park is operated by China Civil Aviation
Information Corporation. It is a high configuration, professional
and comprehensive data center park with central enterprise
disaster recovery services at the core as well as hosting for
third-party information services.
Project overview
China Mobile in Jilin set up a total architectural design scale
111,474㎡ Information Park, of which the data center room area
accounted for 43%, up to 48,204 ㎡. The ambient temperature in
northeast China is a good natural cold source for the data center.
AIRSYS incorporated the project's natural strengths to create
a leading green and energy-efficient data center. The project
creatively uses surface water as a cold sink where, in winter and
transition seasons, the low-temperature river water is utilized for
cooling. Heat is exchanged through a plate heat exchanger and
can provide all the required cooling capacity for the data center,
therefore minimizing the run time of the water-cooled centrifugal
chiller unit, cooling water pumps and the cooling tower. Energy
and potable water consumption of the cooling system is
ultimately reduced, resulting in a dramatic reduction of operating
costs and the achievement of emission reductions.
To take advantage of this climate, AIRSYS designed energysaving cooling solutions specifically for this northern region
of China. Air-cooled chillers are located on the building roof,
which are able to efficiently reject heat due to the low ambient
temperatures. Due to the severe cold temperatures in winter,
a plate heat exchanger and a glycol circulation pump were
incorporated into the design, to prevent icing of the internal
system. Pipework systems to the outdoor side of the heat
exchanger were filled with ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The
supply and return temperature of the ethylene glycol solution
are 10/16°C, and for the indoor side are 12/18°C. The aircooled chillers are also equipped with free cooling dry coolers to
reduce the run time of the compressors.
The center also has other areas of varying personnel activity,
which allowed for the return water from the data center to be
utilized as a low-temperature heat source further reducing the
energy consumption of the site.
Project configuration: the cooling system comprises
6 chiller units to offer a total cooling capacity of 3,868
kW. AIRSYS provided consultation, design, equipment
and construction to the project. Energy-saving from
the air-conditioning system after the transformation are
approximately 60%, and the operation cost of the whole
project has been reduced by 22%
Location:
Jiaxing, Zhejiang
Project configuration: A total of 12 data centers
are installed
CRITICOOL-FC free cooling air-cooled screw chillers,
10 units in use and 2 units in standby. The chiller, plate
heat exchanger, glycol circulation pump and chilled
water primary pump are one-to-one configuration.

Jinan TGT Data Center
Globe Telecom in the Philippines
Project overview
Project overview
The Jinan TGT Data Center project is a large-scale data center
jointly built by four companies including Hong Kong TGT and
Japan's Mitsubishi. It covers an area of 51,028 m2, with a
building area of 16,324 m2, a computer room area of over
15,000 m2, and up to 3,000 cabinet.
Globe, the Philippines' largest local telecommunications
operator, has a telecom network covering the whole of the
Philippines. AIRSYS was commissioned to conduct a site
survey of its mobile switch room in Tarlac in 2017. The facility
is a three-story independent building, with a total current
equipment load of approximately 2,000kW. As the cooling
infrastructure is old, and the airflow distribution design is
inefficient, there are many hot spots in the field, frequent
The total cooling capacity in phase one of the data center is
4662kW. Two independent systems and pipelines were installed,
one to provide mechanical cooling and one to provide free
cooling systems to achieve maximum energy savings. The whole
installation and site therefore have a very high reliability and
lower maintenance requirements, which has been recognized
by the operators. AIRSYS has performed numerous field energy
tests on the site, and through winter and transition seasons
energy savings are greater than 60%. Through utilizing free
cooling technology, in lieu of operating the conventional chillers,
the annual electricity savings reach between 30% and 38%.
Project configuration: 12 units in the first and
second phases of the project
CRITICOOL.SCREW/FC.A.STD 500V1 chiller and
37 units OPTIMA HD CW 130B3
The chilled water equipment, the entire air

alarms, energy consumption extremely high and any expansion
to cooling demand cannot be accommodated.
AIRSYS’ technical site survey team were able to diagnose
major deficiencies and provide a professional upgrading
proposal within one month. The range of improvements and
modifications included customized hot containment(customized
for inconsistent on-site cabinet specifications), Inrow CRAC,
air-cooled screw chiller, new piping and water temperature
designs, installation and commissioning. Great success was
achieved across many aspects of this project such as upgrading
plan design, fast delivery, construction management and quality
control amongst others. The improvements and developments
have been met with great approval by the owner and operator
of the data center.
Project configuration: air-cooled screw chillers, CW type
Inrow CRAC, custom designed hot aisle containment. The
temperature of the chilled water supply water was raised
to 15°C, professional piping design, control systems
and project commissioning. After the retrofitting, all hot
spots in the IT room disappeared, the cooling energy
consumption was reduced by 42%, and the cooling
capacity of the machine room was increased by 51%.
