Data Center Reference Design 113: 10.2-12.7MW, Tier III, ANSI, Chilled Water, Liquid-cooled AI clusters (NVIDIA Vera Rubin)
AI factories and liquid cooling bring new challenges to data center design. Schneider Electric’s data center reference designs help shorten the planning process by providing validated, proven, and documented data center physical infrastructure designs to address such challenges. This design focuses on the deployment of AI infrastructure for AI factories, specifically NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, in a single data hall. The data hall is purpose-built and optimized for two NVIDIA 2304 GPU Vera Rubin NVL72 clusters with a shared pod of networking racks, using Motivair floor mounted liquid-to-liquid CDUs and fluid coolers with adiabatic assist. The data hall is also designed to enable two operating states to always maximize data hall output on available infrastructure. Facility power and cooling design are optimized for capital cost, efficiency, and reliability. Reference Design 113 includes information on four technical areas: facility power, facility cooling, IT space and lifecycle software. These areas represent the integrated systems required to meet the design’s specifications provided in this overview document.
