Introduction to Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II Project
The Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II project is a significant infrastructure initiative located in the Kunming Chenggong Information Industry Park, a provincial-level industrial zone in Yunnan. This park specializes in big data and cloud computing industries. As a key provincial project, the second phase of the construction covers a total area of 34,000 square meters, featuring one data center building and one power center. Upon completion, it will house 5,432 racks, significantly enhancing the foundational infrastructure for the “Digital Yunnan” initiative. This development aims to propel the rapid growth of the digital economy in Yunnan province, providing a robust model for other regions to follow.
China Mobile Yunnan Company is actively responding to the national “dual carbon” strategy. The design of the project incorporates advanced technologies such as high-pressure water-cooled chillers and 240-volt high-voltage direct supply energy-saving methods. It is expected that the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of Phase II will be reduced to 1.268 annually, a 9-point decrease compared to the Phase I design value of 1.36. Once completed, the total capacity of the China Mobile (Yunnan) Data Center will reach approximately 13,000 racks, making it the largest and highest-rated green data center in the province.
During construction, the company adhered to principles of high-quality development and green energy-saving. They strictly implemented the “five elements” management requirements, overcoming challenges such as complex site conditions, traffic control, and pandemic restrictions. The project was successfully topped out in just ten months, a full month ahead of schedule.
To ensure high standards, each construction step was preceded by an on-site sample construction, and only after approval could mass construction proceed. The project embraced new technologies, equipment, and smart site management, including systems for tower crane visualization, unloading platform safety monitoring, edge protection monitoring, high support mold, and scaffolding monitoring, as well as smart safety helmets. The sprinkler control system can link with PM (particulate matter) and noise monitoring, automatically activating sprinklers and mist systems when limits are exceeded, ensuring the construction environment meets urban civilization standards. Effective use of “smart infrastructure” management led to the project being recognized with awards such as “2022 Kunming No Salary Arrears Project Department” and the “2022 Yunnan Provincial Housing Construction Technology Plan Project.”
Introduction to Songjiang Group and Its Stainless Steel Metal Hose
Amid the rigorous standards and high technological demands of the Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II project, Shanghai Songjiang Group supplied high-quality stainless steel metal hoses to ensure efficient and reliable performance. These hoses were chosen for their superior characteristics and ability to meet the project’s stringent requirements.
Advantages of Songjiang Stainless Steel Metal Hose
Flexibility and Small Bending Radius:
The design of Songjiang’s stainless steel metal hoses emphasizes flexibility, allowing them to bend with a small radius without kinking or damaging the hose. This makes them ideal for installation in tight spaces where rigid pipes would be impractical.
Excellent Expandability Without Blockage:
The hoses are designed to stretch and contract easily without causing blockages. Their smooth interior walls ensure unobstructed flow, reducing pressure loss and enhancing the efficiency of fluid transfer systems.
Lightweight with Consistent Diameter:
Despite being made of durable stainless steel, these hoses are lightweight, facilitating easier handling and installation. Additionally, the consistency in diameter across different hoses ensures uniform performance, crucial for precision applications in data centers.
Superior Flexibility and Repeated Bending Capability:
The hoses exhibit excellent flexibility and can withstand repeated bending without losing their shape or functionality. This characteristic is particularly useful in dynamic environments where hoses may need to flex repeatedly.
Corrosion and High-Temperature Resistance:
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, these hoses offer outstanding resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. This makes them suitable for environments with harsh chemicals or extreme heat, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Protection Against Rodent Damage and Wear:
The robust construction of Songjiang’s stainless steel hoses provides excellent protection against rodent damage and wear, safeguarding the integrity of the internal wiring or fluids. This is essential in preventing costly repairs and downtime.
Strong Resistance to Bending, Pulling, and Lateral Pressure:
These hoses are engineered to withstand significant mechanical stresses, including bending, pulling, and lateral pressure, without deforming or failing. This ensures they maintain their integrity under challenging conditions.
Smooth and Easy Installation:
The hoses are designed for easy installation, with a smooth exterior that facilitates threading through tight spaces. This ease of installation reduces labor costs and minimizes installation time.
Wide Range of Compatible Fittings:
Songjiang provides a wide range of fittings that can be easily connected to various equipment and instruments. This versatility makes the hoses adaptable to different applications, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
Application and Impact of Stainless Steel Metal Hoses in the Project
In the Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II project, the stainless steel metal hoses supplied by Shanghai Songjiang Group played a crucial role in the efficient and safe operation of the data center. The hoses were used extensively in the cooling and electrical systems, where their flexibility and durability were particularly beneficial.
The advanced cooling systems, incorporating high-pressure water-cooled chillers, required reliable and flexible hoses to manage the flow of cooling water efficiently. Songjiang’s stainless steel hoses ensured that the cooling systems operated without interruption, maintaining optimal temperatures for the data center’s servers and other equipment.
In the electrical systems, the hoses provided robust protection for wiring, ensuring safe and reliable power distribution throughout the facility. Their resistance to corrosion and high temperatures was essential in maintaining the integrity of the electrical systems, preventing potential failures and ensuring uninterrupted data center operations.
Feedback and Achievements Post-Installation
The successful installation of Songjiang stainless steel metal hoses in the Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II project received positive feedback from all stakeholders. The hoses’ superior performance and reliability contributed significantly to the project’s objectives of high efficiency and low PUE. The data center now supports the digital infrastructure needs of over 10,000 people, promoting economic development and setting a benchmark for future projects in the region.
In summary, the application of Songjiang’s stainless steel metal hoses in this high-profile project not only demonstrated their technical superiority but also highlighted their critical role in supporting the advancement of digital infrastructure. Their contribution to the successful completion and operation of the Yunnan Kunming Mobile Data Center Phase II project underscores the importance of high-quality components in achieving sustainable and efficient technological progress.
