CoolingHybrid air and liquid cooling Confirmed source ↗ Vantage lists air-cooled chillers, hybrid liquid and air cooled GPU cluster deployments and liquid cooling readiness, with N+2 mechanical redundancy. The campus is targeting EDGE certification. No PUE or WUE figure is given. Power is dual 275kV TNB feeds with several 33kV feeds per building.
WaterMains drinking water · Ranhill SAJ Sdn Bhd · 1,100 million litres a year Confirmed source ↗ Figures are for the first 96MW data centre financed by IFC, not the full 300MW campus. WUE stated as a 1.2 to 1.5 L/kWh range.
IFC says cooling water use is expected at 1.2 to 1.5 litres per kWh of load, about 1.1 billion litres a year. Yondr was evaluating evaporative cooling, water recycling, rainwater capture and air cooling as alternatives to utility water.
