About Charbel

Data Center Technical Consultant | Cooling Expert | Capacity & Test Fit Study

With 10 years of experience in thermal engineering applied to data centers, I act as a specialized technical consultant to support your data center design, expansion, or optimization projects in France and internationally.

My core expertise:

Capacity Studies: Precise analysis of current and future IT capacity, modeling power and cooling needs, anticipating infrastructure limitations (electrical, mechanical, thermal).

Test Fit: Assessing the technical feasibility of implementing a data center or IT room in an existing or future building, including layout modeling, airflow, and energy/climatic constraints.

Cooling Expertise: Dimensioning and selecting cooling solutions (CRAH, CRAU, InRow, free cooling, liquid cooling, etc.), thermal audits, CFD analysis, optimizing energy efficiency (PUE), coordinating with suppliers (Trane, Vertiv, Stulz...).

I intervene at various stages:

Technical and Capacity Feasibility Study

Design of new rooms or retrofits

Deployment of high-efficiency cooling solutions

Reducing the carbon footprint related to cooling

Support for real estate teams or technical project management assistance

My typical deliverables:

Detailed capacity study reports

IT / HVAC evolution scenarios

Layout plans and "test fit" technical notes

Cooling solution recommendations
