DATA CENTRES
Liquid cooling can absorb heat
1,000
times more effectively than air
the best output of a site. From a cooling perspective, past designs of the entire water system were segmented into outside, gray space, and white space.
A holistic approach to water system design will ensure optimal heat rejection output while still considering water usage and compute output based on density.
Q. CAN THIS APPROACH MAKE DATA CENTRES MORE SUSTAINABLE?
» Data centre cooling uses roughly 25-40 % of the power of a data centre.
Any optimisation of the cooling system, including the efficiency of the product and the efficiency of the system design, will create a more sustainable solution.
A holistic design combination of highly efficient products, roof design optimisation, limited or zero water usage, streamlined chilled water piping to reduce pump power, thermal storage to peak shave power, using multiple cooling loops to best implement heat recovery, realtime optimization using controls and best in class maintenance to ensure product and system performance is the best
