Cooling Coil Cost at 58% coil package scope included: a worked example

This worked example runs the cooling coil cost numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 58% coil package scope included instead of the typical 80%. Estimate configured coil cost for CRAC, CRAH, dry cooler, heat exchanger, or liquid-cooling equipment builds.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cooling coils or heat exchangers in build: 100 coils (held at the documented default)
  • Configured cost per coil: 45 $ / coil (held at the documented default)
  • Coil package scope included: 58 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 80)
  • Fixed coil engineering and test cost: 250 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Configured coil cost = cooling coils or heat exchangers × configured cost per coil × coil package scope included.
  • Total cooling coil cost works out to 2,860 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Cost per cooling coil works out to 28.6 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Configured coil cost works out to 2,610 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed coil engineering and test cost works out to 250 $ at these inputs.

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 25.71% below the baseline at 2,860 $.
  • 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. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Total cooling coil cost: 2,860 $ (headline result)
  • Cost per cooling coil: 28.6 $ / piece
  • Configured coil cost: 2,610 $
  • Fixed coil engineering and test cost: 250 $
