A review of the use of fresh air and Evaporative Coolng technology for the cooling of Data centres
| Date/Time: | 23 May 2012
15:00-15:15 |
| Location: | Energy Theatre Two |
Seminar Details
The cooling of data centres is becoming more of an issue due to limited power, high energy costs and a high carbon output. Cooling can account for as much energy as the IT equipment in many cases.
The application of low cost fresh air systems with evaporative cooling can reduce the cooling energy used by at least 90% with pay back being in under a year in many applications.
The progress of Evaporative cooling technology in data centres will be reviewed in line with the New ASHRAE standards, along with the issues of filtration, temperature and environmental control.
The principle of evaporative cooling will be explained and the operating costs, power consumption, environmental impact and inadequacy of some existing installations will be reviewed. Case studies and design spread sheets will be utilised to explain in detail how evaporative cooling is being used successfully in many different types of data centres including retrofit, new builds and containerised cooling.
Hot and cold isle layouts and the use of evaporative cooling in high density server rooms will also be covered along with specific design specifications for different applications.
The energy, cost and carbon reductions which can be achieved compared to conventional refrigeration systems will be shown.
Attendees - anybody involved with the finance, design, specification, installation or maintenance of a data centre or server room.
Delegates will learn about the effectiveness of using evaporative cooling in data centres which will enable them to compare its use and costs against a traditional refrigeration system.
