Data center campus in a cold Nordic landscape

Context

A two-building campus in a cold climate, where ambient conditions favour dry heat rejection for much of the year.

Requirements

Dry heat rejection sized for the site climate
Freeze protection strategy
Interfaces for potential heat reuse
Low maintenance access at roof level

Engineering challenge

Designing plant that performs across a wide temperature range, including protection against freezing during low-load periods.

Proposed system

Rooftop dry coolers on a glycol facility loop, separated from the building water by plate heat exchangers, with a valved interface for future heat recovery.

Integration approach

Plant layout was coordinated with roof structure, snow loading and access walkways, with pipework routed through dedicated risers.

Outcome

What the project delivered.
