ODATA is a company created with the purpose to provide IT infrastructures, servers, that can store large amounts of information for global companies with a presence in Latin America. As a consequence of their expansion, ODATA is building a new 8 MW (critical IT power) facility. A 7,000 sqm building accommodating racks and servers, that will be cooled down by 9 Daikin EWADC10TZXSB2 chillers for a total cooling capacity of 11,250 kW, as data centers can generate a lot of heat that needs to be removed. As a matter of fact, data centers can consume vast amounts of energy, and that is why it is important for these applications that the HVAC system is as efficient as possible. Daikin, with its in-house developed screw inverter technology, has been able to meet all the efficiency requirements for this project, meeting the client needs. Mr Leon Cristalino and Mr Kelvin Tamura, respectively Solutions Analyst and Engineer in the Engineering & Deployment Team at ODATA, visited Daikin Applied Europe to test 3 of the 9 units bought for their data center, and they were kind enough to give us a few interesting details on how important efficiency and reliability is for data centers: “Being able to provide our services at a lower price than competitors, makes us more attractive for clients. The more efficient is the chiller plant in our data center, the more competitive will be our offer to the market. Also, reliability is crucial for data centers. […] Our plant is going to be Tier 3 certified – a certification that only allows 93 min of downtime a year – and to meet its requirements, we are going to have a number of chillers and then redundancy, so we have back up in case of maintenance or units’ downtime. Even though we have redundancy, we want to be a 100% prepared for outages, the rapid restart option is a way to prevent the increase of temperature, helping bringing the chillers back to full load capacity” Resources categories Product News (9) News (28) Company Updates (3) Case Study (12) Applied Talks (6) Resources tags AHU casestudy Centrifugal chillers commercial covid-19 Daikin Applied Service Daikin on Site Daikin TZ datacenter datacentercooling districtcooling ecodesign efficiency energy energyefficiency Eurovent EWATB fgas health and wellbeing healthcare heat pump heat recovery indoor air quality Inverter technology ITcooling lowGWP R32 refrigerants remote monitoring ROI screw scroll Service and maintenance stadium cooling staff news WCT women in engineering PRODUCTS SALES TOOLS DOWNLOADS LOCATIONS CONTACT US Follow us on linkedin © Daikin Applied Europe S.p.A.
