1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
Pure Data Centre Group (PDCG) are planning to build a new data centre building as well as the site entry security
gatehouse plus an administration building in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The site also caters for future plans to construct
another data centre building similar in size along with a common loading building for logistics. The design will be
made flexible, modular, and scalable to allow Pure DC to adjust based on customer requirements, targeting Tier III
concurrent maintainability and Estidama Pearl 1 rating.
Figure 2 Plot location (Google)
The ground floor of the data centre building houses all the power strings feeding the data halls as well as the
landlord general services and site wide loads. The first floor comprises of four (4) data halls with 20.4 MW of IT
power capacity serviced by chilled water fan wall units (FWUs). The roof will house the chillers, buffer tanks, chilled
water pumps plus various fresh air handling units (FAHUs) to service the building.
Externally, the site comprises an administration building, gatehouse, water tanks, fire, irrigation and domestic water
pump rooms, parking, roadways and 22kV intake switch gear building. Generators shall be installed externally
located on both sides of the data centre building.

While for the Non-Critical Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System Design will be based on ASHRAE
and/or CIBSE standards and best practises.
In principle the ancillary non-critical spaces will be cooled by DX or VRF systems and the critical spaces by chilled
water.
4.2 Chilled Water System
4.2.1 Chiller Plant and Chilled Water Distribution System
As Pure DC requires a facility that is resilient, robust, adaptable and energy efficient as possible, each data hall is
provided with multiple modules of dedicated chilled water plant sets matching the distributed redundant 4/3N
power supply of the electrical system. Which comprise of fast-start air-cooled chillers with variable speed
compressors and variable primary distribution pumps to address their individual cooling load demands.
Figure 16 Example of typical Air-Cooled Chiller
Revision P7 P7.docx
Refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) will be specified
not only to gain ESTIDAMA credits and approval but also to minimize the impacts to the environment.
The chilled water distribution system will be designed as variable flow primary-only pump arrangement with buffer
tanks installed in the decoupler line to provide a minimum 4-minute energy storage to allow the generators to come
online and the chillers to reset back up to 100% active and stable cooling capability.
Each chilled water pump flow capacity will match the flow requirement of a single chiller. These chilled water pumps
will be complete with variable speed drives (VFDs), whose speed will be controlled to maintain the differential
pressure at strategic points in the system to ensure chilled water supply to all connected equipment. This strategy
is achieved by utilizing differential pressure transmitters that monitor the differential pressure of the chilled water
system and send the signal to the chiller plant controller to modulate the pump speed. Each chilled water module
will be monitored by the central BMS in the NOC, which will allow for monitoring and control to override as required
along with set-point adjustment.
All pump motors efficiencies will be rated with no less than IE3 class or higher to achieve the efficiency goals and
necessary to ensure ESTIDAMA Pearl 1 rating.
The chillers will not be tied to any mechanical plant UPS. Only the primary chilled water pumps and chiller plant
controller will be the supported by a dedicated mechanical UPS for continuous cooling purposes, until the
generators come online, or the utility supply is reinstated.
Each chilled water distribution system will have isolating valves strategically positioned to conduct maintenance
without interrupting the operation of the data centre.
The chilled water piping system will be sized based on ASHRAE 90.1 minimum, to incur low frictional pressure losses,
and to reduce the capacity and size of the buffer vessel in the decoupler line, such that the overall system
volume/content is sufficient to enable capacitance or “ride through” during switching over of power source from
utility to the backup diesel generator or the reverse, and recovery of the chiller plant after power restoration.
An automatic pressurisation and water passivation system will also be provided and be shared between two
chiller circuits. This system will incorporate dedicated expansion vessels and other ancillary components for each
chilled water distribution system. In addition, a degassing system will also be provided for effective air
elimination. These units will be electronically controlled, standalone types, which will communicate to the BMS
via BACNET protocol.

4.3 Data Hall Cooling System and Air Management Strategy
The information technology equipment (ITE) within the server racks of the data hall is assumed to be air-cooled
with their own dedicated heat sink fans for heat rejection to the rear of the unit. To match this mode of cooling
an air-based cooling system will be used to condition the data hall space.
4.3.1 Total Flooding (Fan Wall System) Air Distribution
To handle the cooling requirement a chilled water-type fan wall air handling unit system on both sides of the data
hall is recommended for air distribution in order to flood the room with cool air and minimise the likelihood of hot
spots. The IT cabinet/racks will be arranged in hot aisle containment configuration further maximise the efficiency
of this system. In addition, any empty cabinets/racks shall be closed with blanking panels. The hot exhaust air from
the IT equipment shall then migrate to the ceiling plenum and back the fan wall units for cooling and recirculation.

All Automation Level components shall be support by the site Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
The BMS network shall consist of one Rack mounted clustered BMS servers, BMS system client workstations,
Ethernet Network switches and Ethernet Based DDC panels. 8.3.3 The Field Level
Servers shall be located in the MER Rooms. Each server will be equipped with dual 100/1000 mbps Network The field level shall include all instrumentation interfaced to the automation level controllers such as
Interface Cards (NIC). One NIC will be used to connect to the BMS network and the other NIC will be used to temperature, humidity, level, pressure and switches, etc.

The BMS shall include, at a minimum, the following System Software:
• Power failure Protection: All system set points, proportional bands, control algorithms, and any other
programmable parameters shall be stored such that a power failure of any duration does not require
reprogramming the controller.
• Historical Data: Each Application Specific Controller will have the capability to automatically and continuously
maintain a history of the associated zone temperature to allow users to quickly analyse space comfort and
equipment performance for the past 24 hours.
• Alarm Management: Each Distributed Digital Controller (DDC) shall perform its own limit and status monitoring
and analysis to maximize network performance by reducing unnecessary communications with the BMS server.
• Database Save and Restore: A system operator with the proper password clearance shall be able to archive
the database on the designated operator interface PC. The operator shall also be able to clear a panel database
and manually initiate a download of a specified database to any panel in the system.
• On-Line Help and Training: Provide a context sensitive, online help system to assist the operator in operation
and editing of the system. On-line help shall be available for all system functions and shall provide the relevant
data for that particular screen. Additional help shall be available through the use of hypertext links onscreen.
