Double-Bay Wide Room

Two bays are joined along their mating faces into a single-storey room 4.15 m wide overall, so the cubicle lineup and the service aisle sit in one span rather than in separate rooms.

Double-Bay Wide Room

Two bays are joined along their mating faces into a single-storey room 4.15 m wide overall, so the cubicle lineup and the service aisle sit in one span rather than in separate rooms.

Product Details

Two bays are joined along the length into a single-storey room 23.87 m long and 4.15 m wide overall. The medium-voltage drive cubicles are lined up along one side, with the front operating face and rear service clearance set out to cubicle depth; the other side keeps a service aisle running the whole length, so reaching the far end never means going outside. Cubicle positions, inter-cubicle connections and the wall transition at the mating face are developed from the equipment layout, and the lineup can continue across the joint. The drive assemblies inside are customer-supplied or integrated within the agreed scope — their voltage, current and rating follow the equipment vendor's technical agreement, while ETENZ covers the mounting bases, in-room interfaces and inter-cubicle connections.

Double-Bay Room and Cubicle Lineup

The pure-water cooling unit occupies its own bay at the end of the lineup, with industrial water supply and return lines rising from the services void under the raised floor and passing through the wall in sleeved, fire-stopped and sealed penetrations. Flange positions, pipe supports and valve-set working space follow the cooling unit's interface drawing, and leak-detection points sit at the low points and beneath the unit. Heat-transfer capacity and water-side parameters are confirmed against the lineup's heat load and the equipment interface data; water treatment, make-up and the external circuit outside the room stay with the customer or are supplied within the agreed scope.

The incoming and distribution cubicles sit at one end of the room, with the busbar and cable-tray connection positions left free above the cubicles and the operating and service clearances set out to cubicle type. Local control and instrument panels are mounted on the end face of the lineup, developed together with the circuit split for room lighting, service sockets and the auxiliary distribution board. The switchgear assemblies are customer-supplied or third-party units integrated within scope; the enclosure side provides the mounting bases, inter-cubicle connections and entry cut-outs.

Smoke detectors are laid out by zone at ceiling level, the fire alarm and releasing control panels are mounted where they can be operated, and alarm, interlock and status signals are brought to terminals outside the room. Detection, alarm, release and interlock interfaces belong to the enclosure scope; the suppression package can be supplied and installed within scope, or specified and supplied by the customer. No fire rating is claimed for the room as a whole — the final arrangement follows the project's fire requirements and local approval.

Wall openings and louvres are paired to the airflow direction, fitted with mesh guards and removable filters, and finished outside with rain hoods and seals so airflow and the IP54/55 target hold together. Emergency lighting and escape signage switch in automatically on loss of mains; everyday lighting and service sockets are fed from the auxiliary distribution board inside the room, on circuits split by section.

Temperature, humidity, water-ingress and door signals collect at the monitoring panel in the room for local display and can be passed on to the customer's supervisory system, with interface type and protocol confirmed per project. Camera and access-control positions and their conduit are reserved during fabrication, and a common signal interface point is left on the outside of the room. Climate control follows its setpoints to drive the air conditioning and ventilation, and its running state and alarms join the same monitoring loop.

Product FAQs

A cubicle lineup plus a full-length service aisle puts the enclosure at 4.15 m overall width, and at that width a one-piece room becomes an over-width load — permits, escorts and route surveys all come with it. Split into two bays, haulage and lifting are sized to a single bay and the room is joined along the mating faces on site. The trade-off is tighter tolerance on the structural joint, the seal and floor flatness at the interface, which is why the bays are trial-assembled and inspected at the works.

It depends on the agreed scope. The medium-voltage drive assemblies, the incoming switchgear and the pure-water cooling unit can be supplied or brand-nominated by the customer, or procured and integrated against the equipment list. ETENZ builds the enclosure and provides the mounting bases, the pipework and electrical interfaces and the in-room integration; voltage, current, rating and heat-transfer figures for the main equipment follow the vendor's technical agreement.

The enclosure side goes as far as the interfaces: the cooling unit's base and bay, the under-floor services void, sleeved and sealed wall penetrations, flange connection positions, pipe supports, valve-set working space and leak-detection points. The circulating system outside the room, water treatment and make-up stay with the customer or are supplied within the agreed scope, with pipe size and flow confirmed against the cooling unit's interface drawing.

Yes. Bare-shell supply covers the structure of both bays, the joining hardware, equipment mounting bases, the raised floor and services void, penetrations, earthing and lifting interfaces. The dimensions are not fixed — 23.87 m × 4.15 m × 3.715 m is this unit's configuration; the room is re-set to the number of cubicles, the aisle width you want, the site footprint and the transport limits.

Detection, alarm, release and interlock interfaces belong to the enclosure scope: smoke detection, the alarm panel and the releasing panel are installed at the works and brought out to terminals. Suppression can be supplied and installed within the same scope, or specified and supplied by the customer. No fire rating is claimed for the room as a whole; the final arrangement follows the project's fire requirements and local approval.
