In April 2011, the second level of our air conditioning system was implemented and this upgraded the former cooling capacity by another 150%.
7 Air Conditioning Cabinets / Recirculation Cooling Units
The 7 air conditioning cabinets are mounted in our data center on various locations. Our recirculating cooling units absorb the warm air stream exhausted by our servers on the ceiling level of the datacenter. This air is afterwards chilled by cold water, which is pumped through two cooling units on the roof top of the building and taken down to the server floor again. The cooled air will then be blown out through the grills of our double layered pressure floor directly underneath the servers.
2 Cooling Units
The 2 cooling units are roof top mounted, directing towards Munich-s centre. The warm water from the data center is pumped up to cooling units above. It gets chilled in there and is being pumped down again to the datacenter below. If the temperature outside is cooler than at the inside, air condition is not only controlled by compressors but also substituted by using ambient air. Such results in energy savings and therefore cost reductions. Giga-Hosting-s clients do definitely benefit from this effieciency directly.
This -free-cooling-, permanently remote controlled system disposes of 2 water circulations, separated from each other. In fact, two completely independent and redundant systems in each aspect are implemented. All pipes and drains for the air conditioning, but as well all electrical wiring was installed twofold. That stands to reason that we keep consistent decent temperatures in our datacenter for the server-s “wellness”. Equally do the employees at Giga International feel well, as they are taken care of by chilling them in air conditioned offices and pampering them with ice cream and cooled soft drinks.
