Define the data center and identify components such as servers, storage, networking, power systems, and hvac. Explain tier classifications from tier 1 to tier 4, with redundancy and maintenance implications.
Learn chilled water flow rate calculations for evaporator and condenser sides, including 2.4 and 3 gpm per ton, and two-way and three-way valve roles in HVAC systems.
Size and select chillers by calculating total cooling load and applying the diversity factor. Compare air-cooled and water-cooled options using COP and EER to meet capacity and reliability.
Apply a 0.85 diversity factor to a 500 TR load to 425 TR. Size four chillers (three working, one standby) at 141.7 TR each, air cooled, 340 GPM, 55/45 F.
Explain how perforated tiles, raised floor panels with holes, deliver cold air from the underfloor plenum to server racks for direct cooling, achieving targeted airflow, air balance, and energy efficiency.
Explore ducted versus underfloor air distribution in data centres and how these options impact real project HVAC design decisions.
Size dehumidifiers for data centers by calculating room volume, ACH from ASHRAE standards, air flow rate, humidity ratio, and dehumidification load to reach the target humidity.
Discover fail-safe hvac design that keeps spaces safe during component failures through redundancy and automatic failover. The course covers safe default positions, continuous operation, and maintenance readiness in data centers.
Data Centers are one of the fastest-growing and most critical infrastructures in the modern world. From cloud computing to banking systems, hospitals, AI servers, and global communication networks — every industry depends on reliable Data Center operations. The most important factor behind a successful Data Center is an efficient and reliable HVAC cooling system.
This course is specially designed to teach you the complete HVAC Design process for Data Centers and Server Rooms using real-world engineering methods, practical calculations, and industry standards.
Whether you are a beginner, HVAC Engineer, MEP Engineer, BIM Modeler, Draftsman, or Project Engineer, this course will help you understand how professional engineers design mission-critical cooling systems for Data Centers.
In this course, you will learn step-by-step how to calculate cooling loads, select HVAC equipment, design airflow systems, and apply ASHRAE recommendations for modern Data Center facilities.
Unlike theoretical courses, this training focuses on practical engineering concepts and real project-based learning so that students can confidently work on actual Data Center HVAC projects.
