What the shared parts are
- Chillers & compressors — Chillers use a vapor-compression or absorption cycle, built around a compressor, to produce chilled water for the facility's cooling loop.
- CRAH / CRAC / fan walls / in-row units — CRAH, CRAC, fan-wall, and in-row units circulate conditioned air across IT equipment in air-cooled halls, using either facility chilled water (CRAH) or an internal refrigerant circuit (CRAC).
- Building management, controls, environmental sensors — The building management system, PLCs, and environmental sensors that monitor and automatically control chillers, air handlers, pumps, and dampers across the facility.
