OCP Project Deschutes CDU specification 1.0.0 (Google-contributed): 2,000 kW at a 3 °C approach, 500 GPM, 80–90 psi IT differential pressure available, 0.2-µm side-stream filtration

2 MWobserved

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeDesign targets in the published specification, not a tested rating of any vendor's unit. The 2,000 kW rides on 500 GPM, the spec's 0.25 GPM/kW: about 0.95 L/min per kW, a rise of about 15 K on water. Racks that need OCP's typical 1.5 L/min per kW get about 1.26 MW from that flow. The same table gives 0–130 psig operating pressure, 18–55 °C operating liquid, DI water or PG25, 74 kW power consumption and 6,900 lb wet. Full-flow filtration is 25–44 µm with a separate 0.2 µm side stream of about 3 GPM. Several vendors list units built to the design; their ratings are their own.
