The specification required that the cooling solution would work efficiently on part load. The ColdLogik team designed a modular system which allows for a gradual roll out program. The initial solution required 20 x USpace ColdLogik compliant cabinets with an initial 8 x ColdLogik CL20 C8 Rear Door Coolers. This was supported by three chillers with a water supply temperature of 16°C. This modular approach allows for a growing installation requirement which has been expanded twice within 18 months of the initial installation as their customer base increased. 

Aside from its modularity, the ColdLogik solution was chosen above a cold aisle solution as this was too restrictive in its layout and space utilisation and was not as energy efficient and modular as the customer required. The data centre is currently running at 160kW cooling capacity with an N+1 redundancy rating. A second data centre is planned to utilise the same ColdLogik solutions - Today, Zajil operates two data centres in Kuwait, and one in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Jordan, as well as a presence in the UK. Its customers are mainly large enterprises and include Kuwait Oil Company and “all major banks in Kuwait”.
