The Data Centre is hosting data for smaller and bigger local companies, banks etc. and will be able to contain 64 racks and work with an IT load of up to 600 KW.

Striving for a low PUE

During the planning of the new Data Centre, Peter Hartl got in contact with Munters in his search for an energy efficient cooling solution.

Striving for a PUE as low as possible, Munters’ indirect evaporative cooling system Oasis™ could form the perfect solution.

Compared to a traditional DX based cooling solutions for Data Centres, the Oasis™ solution typically saves up to 75% energy. Mainly due to the elimination of compressors and also thanks to the reduced need of fans involved.
Munters worked out a design with two Oasis™ 200 units that would be able to satisfy the requirement of strictly controlling the temperature within the Data Centre between 23-25°C around the year.
