Data center, that is, the building site where centrally placed electronic information equipment provides the operating environment, including the main computer room, auxiliary area, support area and administrative area. This paper mainly introduces the scheme layout, fire protection design, mechanical and electrical scheme architecture-related design, etc., and analyzes the key points of conventional architectural design of data centers for reference by design peers.

 introduction

With the deepening of digital transformation in our country's regions and industries, our country's data center market size will maintain a continuous growth trend, and the data center projects contacted by our institute are mainly about 6kW per rack, and in the future, with technological progress and the owner's acceptance of new technology applications, there will be more and larger single-power racks put into the market. This paper mainly takes the case of single-rack power design projects based on 6kW as the main analysis object, focusing on the analysis of the problems encountered in the process of data center architectural design and the summary of engineering experience, for the reference of the same industry.

The initial demand and scale are determined

In the early stage of building the data center, the owner needs to have a professional pre-development team evaluate the feasibility of the project, select the development city and pre-selected project land, and track the development land of the pre-selected project in a timely manner with the land and resources management department.

If an enterprise needs to determine an investment project, it should go to the National Development and Reform Commission or the management department of the Economic and Information Commission to file and approve the project, and at the same time follow the following steps to hire a unit with relevant qualifications to cooperate in the preparation of the corresponding application documents:

1.1 Hire a professional energy-saving company to prepare a project energy-saving report and submit it to the management department of the National Development and Reform Commission for review and approval;

1.2 Submit environmental impact assessment materials to the management department of the Environmental Protection Bureau for review and approval;

1.3 Submit traffic impact assessment materials to the management department of the Transportation Bureau for review and approval;

1.4 Submit the power supply plan design documents and requirements to the management department of the power bureau for review and approval;

1.5 Submit the water supply plan design documents and requirements to the management department of the Water Affairs Bureau for review and approval.

At the same time, it is necessary to track and confirm the relevant processes of land bidding, auction and listing, and do a good job in signing the state-owned land transaction contract, do a good job in approving the relevant construction land use conditions by the planning bureau, provide the design institute with architectural planning and planning documents in a timely manner, provide them to the planning department for review and confirmation, and approve the construction project planning permit.

This part belongs to the civil engineering application stage, generally the new data center project development process is in accordance with the large open space Class C plant application regulations, to the subsequent construction drawing design qualification, the civil engineering development and construction stage, this stage of civil engineering construction drawings should implement the civil engineering related conditions of mechanical and electrical process design, so as to avoid subsequent mechanical and electrical deepening to increase unnecessary construction costs.

After the approval of energy conservation and the approval of the regulations, the construction scale of the construction project, the number of total racks, the total electricity consumption and other indicators will be determined, and the deepening of mechanical and electrical engineering should also be carried out before the civil engineering declaration, so as not to affect the revision of the subsequent mechanical and electrical declaration documents.
