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).
- HV switchgear, GIS, breakers, protection relays — The high-voltage switching, protection, and fault-isolation gear between the substation transformers and the campus's medium-voltage distribution, including gas-insulated (GIS) designs for compact sites.
- MV switchgear, E-houses, power skids — Medium-voltage switchgear packaged into pre-fabricated electrical houses (E-houses) or skids that distribute power across a campus and can be factory-built and shipped as modules.
