Chirisa Technology Parks

Project Overview

Chirisa Technology Parks’ Richmond campus is currently the largest project for Excool in the US.

There are 30 Excool Zero units with 450kW capacity onsite that were delivered in 2024. The 30 units span across two data halls, both of which service different types of AI workloads and high-performance compute.

Selection of the Excool units was based on the ability to deliver on a tight timeframe, ultra-low water usage to drive market-leading WUE and low power consumption to drive a low PUE.

The project originally had a tight turnaround of 22 weeks, including a 5-week delivery window. Our market-leading equipment lead times and tried-and-tested Zero units meant that this was possible.

Excool commissioned the site using a combination of on-site engineers and remote commissioning support and have advanced a full-time service and maintenance engineer locally in the Richmond area to support the site long-term.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“The decision to deploy 30 of the Excool Zero units in Chirisa Technology Parks’ Richmond campus was based on Excool’s ability to deliver on a tight timeframe, the Zero unit’s ultra-low water consumption to drive market-leading water-usage effectiveness (WUE) and its low-power usage to maintain a low power usage effectiveness (PUE). Our relationship with Excool is an extension of our commitment to generate a positive impact on the communities and environment in which our high-technology campuses operate.”
