What is the TCO for Liebert XD?
The TCO for a cooling solution depends a lot on site specific factors and has to be calculated in each specific case. A Liebert XD solution typically has a little higher first cost (equipment and installation) than traditional solutions. However, continuing costs (energy and maintenance) are typically lower so the calculated pay back period is short. If the floor space savings (opportunity costs) for Liebert XD is considered in the calculation, the pay back period is even shorter and in some cases immediate. It is assumed that the salvage value is the same for both alternatives above.
