3,770 kW, Tier III, IEC, Chilled Water, Liquid-Cooled & Air-Cooled AI Clusters

High-density AI clusters and liquid cooling bring new challenges to data center design. Schneider Electric’s data center reference designs help shorten the planning process by providing validated, proven, and documented data center physical infrastructure designs to address such challenges. This design focuses on the deployment of high-density AI clusters with two IT rooms. IT room 1 depicts three retrofit scenarios, where a new, high-density AI cluster is installed alongside existing traditional IT. • Scenario 1A shows a high-density air-cooled AI cluster. • Scenario 1B shows a high-density liquid-cooled AI cluster which uses liquid-to-air coolant distribution units (CDUs) for heat rejection. This is ideal for scenarios when you cannot connect to facility water systems. • Scenario 1C shows a high-density liquid-cooled AI cluster which uses liquid-to-liquid CDUs. This is ideal for scenarios where you can tap into facility water systems. IT room 2 is purpose-built and optimized for a liquid-cooled AI cluster which uses liquid-to-liquid CDUs. Reference Design 99 includes information for four technical areas: facility power, facility cooling, IT space and lifecycle software. They represent the integrated systems required to meet the design’s specifications in this overview document.
