Where can AI data centres be built, and how do power, water, rules and climate shape the cooling?在哪里建得起来?电、水、规则和气候怎样影响热管理选择?

Power is the biggest constraint in nine of the ten regions.十个地区中有九个的最大约束是电力。

In mainland China, it is where and how efficiently you may build. Six regions set a PUE requirement or target of 1.2–⁠1.4.中国大陆则是建在哪里、按多高能效建。六个地区设有 1.2–⁠1.4 的 PUE 要求或目标。

Assumes the dry cooler supplies the facility water directly. With a glycol loop and a plate heat exchanger in between, add the exchanger's approach (often 2–3 K) to the dry cooler's: 10 K plus 3 K falls between the 10 K and 15 K columns, so there are fewer hours than the 10 K column shows. 假设干冷器直接供设施水。若中间有乙二醇回路和板式换热器,应把换热器的接近温差(常见约 2–3 K)加到干冷器的接近温差上:10 K 加 3 K 介于 10 K 和 15 K 两列之间,小时数少于 10 K 一列。W32, W40 and W45 are ASHRAE facility water classes; W20 and W25 mean 20 °C and 25 °C supply, where chilled-water plant design is moving (this site's labels, not ASHRAE classes). Hours a year (average of 2020–2024; every year counted as 8,760 hours). Darker = a larger share of the year: W32、W40、W45 为 ASHRAE 设施水温等级;W20 和 W25 指 20 °C 和 25 °C 供水,是冷站冷冻水设计正在移向的温度(本站标注,不是 ASHRAE 等级)。每年小时数(2020–2024 年平均;每年按 8,760 小时计)。颜色越深 = 占全年比例越大:<25% 25–50% 50–75% 75–95% ≥95%

No compressor is needed in an hour when the outdoor dry-bulb temperature is at or below the supply water temperature minus the dry cooler's approach (5, 10 or 15 K). W32, W40 and W45 are ASHRAE facility water classes; W20 and W25 mean 20 and 25 °C supply, the range where chilled-water plant design is moving (this site's labels, not ASHRAE classes). The dry cooler is assumed to supply the facility water directly. One value per UTC hour (the first valid observation); hours are scaled from the observed share to a year of 8,760 hours (leap years included) and averaged over 2020–2024; the range is the lowest and highest single year. Owner decisions 2026-10-15: dry coolers on dry-bulb temperature; 5 K is conventional commercial practice, data centres increasingly use 10–15 K to reduce the number and footprint of dry coolers. 2026-10-16: add 20 and 25 °C supply, because chilled-water design in real plants is moving from about 20 °C towards 30 °C; count each year as 8,760 hours. A wider approach means fewer, smaller dry coolers but more hours the dry cooler alone cannot cover, met by chillers or another way to reject heat; where chillers run, a warmer condenser loop lowers their efficiency and raises PUE. Where footprint is the binding limit, designers accept that. The 99.6th-percentile column is the average over the five years of each year's 99.6th-percentile hourly dry-bulb temperature (about 35 hours a year are hotter). Missing hours are assumed to follow the same temperature mix as the observed ones; where gaps are uneven (Penrith 2020: about two-thirds of hours observed from January to June, nearly all from August; Sapporo and Fukuoka 2023: in May and June only eight observations a day, every three hours; 2024: about 65–76% of hours observed from August to November), that year is less certain. Airport stations can be cooler or warmer than a data-centre site nearby.当室外干球温度不高于“供水温度减干冷器接近温差(5、10 或 15 K)”时,该小时不需要压缩机。W32、W40、W45 为 ASHRAE 设施水温等级;W20 和 W25 指 20 °C 和 25 °C 供水,是冷站冷冻水设计正在移向的区间(本站标注,不是 ASHRAE 等级)。假设干冷器直接供设施水。每个 UTC 小时取第一个有效观测值;按观测到的比例折算为 8,760 小时的全年(闰年同样按 8,760 小时),取 2020–2024 年平均;区间为单年最低与最高。站长 2026-10-15 决定:干冷器按干球温度;常规商用接近温差 5 K,数据中心越来越多采用 10–15 K 以减少干冷器数量和占地。2026-10-16:增加 20 °C 和 25 °C 供水,因为实际冷站的冷冻水设计正从约 20 °C 向 30 °C 移动;每年按 8,760 小时计。接近温差越大,干冷器越少、占地越小,但干冷器单独无法覆盖的小时更多,需由冷机或其他排热方式承担;冷机运行时,较高的冷凝水温会降低其效率、使 PUE 变差。当占地是硬约束时,设计会接受这一代价。99.6 百分位一列为五年中各年逐时干球温度 99.6 百分位的平均值(每年约 35 小时更热)。缺测小时假设与已观测小时的温度分布相同;缺测不均匀时(彭里斯 2020 年:1–6 月约三分之二的小时有观测,8 月起几乎全部有观测;札幌和福冈 2023 年:5、6 月每天只有 8 次、每三小时一次观测;2024 年:8–11 月约 65–76% 的小时有观测),该年结果的不确定性更大。机场气象站与附近数据中心场址的气温可能有差别。

What a country page answers国家页回答什么

Same fields for every region每个地区用同一套字段

Build scale, power, water, efficiency rules, main policies and climate, each as a status tag, so regions can be compared field by field without a combined score.建设规模、电力、水、能效要求、主要政策和气候,各用一个状态标签;地区之间逐项比较,不做综合评分。

The thermal meaning热管理含义

The owner's HVAC reading of what these limits mean for the cooling plant, built on the hours a dry cooler alone can make water from W20 to W45 (above).站长从 HVAC 角度判断这些限制对冷站意味着什么,依据是上面仅靠干冷器制出 W20 至 W45 水的小时数。
