Data Center & Infrastructure Equipment Manufacturing worked example

Cooling Coil Cost at 92% coil package scope included: a worked example

This scenario runs the cooling coil cost calculation on the strong side: 92% coil package scope included, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when cooling coil cost in data center and infrastructure equipment manufacturing is being put through a data center and infrastructure equipment manufacturing weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cooling coils or heat exchangers in build: 100 coils (unchanged)
  • Configured cost per coil: 45 $ / coil (unchanged)
  • Coil package scope included: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed coil engineering and test cost: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Configured coil cost = cooling coils or heat exchangers × configured cost per coil × coil package scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for total cooling coil cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for cost per cooling coil.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for configured coil cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed coil engineering and test cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where coil package scope included sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • Use it when quoting a coil or heat exchanger package, deciding how much of the assembly to insource, or breaking out variable from fixed cost on a thermal build. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Total cooling coil cost: 4,390 $ (headline result)
  • Cost per cooling coil: 43.9 $ / piece
  • Configured coil cost: 4,140 $
  • Fixed coil engineering and test cost: 250 $
