Free Cooling Technologies in Data Centers
This chapter discusses techniques for cooling a data center that first consider economization as the principal form of cooling. There are more than 20 ways to cool a data center using mechanical refrigeration with or without some form of economizer as part of the cooling strategy. Ambient conditions have become a more important factor as a result of an increase in allowable cooling temperature for the IT equipment. The cooler, and sometimes dryer, the ambient, the greater period of time a data center can be cooled by using ambient air. Four commonly used economizer cooling systems are discussed in the chapter in greater detail: three air‐to‐air heat exchangers (AtoAHXs) systems and one direct evaporative cooling (DEC) system. Numerous factors have an influence on the selection and design of a Datacom cooling system. Location, water availability, allowable cold aisle temperature, and extreme design conditions are four of the major factors.
