Inside a Hyperscale Data Center: How Water Quality Shapes Uptime, Explored by Shanghai ChiMay A hyperscale data center is often described in electrons: megawatts of IT load, thousands of racks, gigabits per second of network. Look closer at the mechanical plant and the story is water. Every kilowatt of compute becomes roughly a kilowatt of…
How Does Cooling-Tower Water Quality Drive Chiller Plant Efficiency? Answers from Shanghai ChiMay Chiller plants are the most electricity-hungry machines in a modern commercial building or data center. A single 500-ton centrifugal chiller consumes roughly 250–400 kW at full load, and its efficiency—expressed as kW per ton or as COP—swings by 10–25% over a season…
Chilled-Water Loops in 2026: What Every Building Engineer Should Know, from Shanghai ChiMay The chilled-water loop is the quiet half of an HVAC plant. The cooling tower gets attention because it evaporates water and produces visible plumes. The chilled-water loop is closed, sealed, and invisible—until the day a chiller trips on high-head-pressure and the loop’s…
