Abstract:
This presentation will provide a case study of the Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing process at a Hyperscale Data Center Project. The TAB process can differ significantly from project to project and this case study will explore how the TAB process evolved over the life of the subject project. The case study will examine a 2,500,000 square-foot campus located in Fort Worth, Texas, consisting of six buildings housing 22 data halls, a cold-storage facility, three administration areas, two central plants, and ten industrial water plants. The project has one of the largest fan array air delivery systems EAB has ever had the pleasure of testing. Each hall has a built-up system consisting of 12 fan arrays of 15 fans each (180 fans) delivering approximately 1,270,000 cubic feet per minute. Discussions will include improvement in measuring fan array performance, data hall testing procedures, and testing of hydronic equipment and systems. Discussions will conclude with how TAB and Cx can work together during Data Center L3 and L4 Commissioning.
