Data Center - Climatic Power Calculator

This Climatic Power Calculator estimates the total power usage and power costs for Data Centers. The square footage of the computer room includes all computer equipment and CRAC (Cooling Room A/C) units. The cooling power and its cost are calculated by adjusting the cooling efficiency rate for both Climate and Cooling Equipment. The entry cells are highlighted in yellow. If you set the requirements for both Location A and Location B, you will be able to see the difference in costs between the two locations.

Notes:

  • ** Requires water consumption, not included in any calculations.
  • Variable Capacity Control (VCC)
  • Fluid Economizer (FE)
  • Chiller economization is not included in southern climates, for example: Los Angeles, Dallas, and Orlando.

Assumptions:

  • 85F return air temperature
  • 80% loaded
  • Air-cooled basic includes EC fans, fixed scroll
  • Air-cooled advanced includes EC fans, variable compressor, OptimizedAisle
  • Chiller systems include pumps, cooling towers, and CRACs. May be screw or centrifugal type chiller.
