Energy storage air cooling technology

What is free cooling technology?

Free cooling technology, also known as economizer circulation, is an energy-saving method that significantly reduces energy costs . The main principle involves using outside air or water as the cooling medium or direct cooling source for DCs , thereby replacing traditional systems like air conditioning .

Can evaporative cooling and phase change energy storage help data centers?

To address the challenges of prolonged cooling air supply for data centers (DCs) in high-temperature climates, a cooling ventilation system combining evaporative cooling with phase change energy storage (PCES) under natural air cooling is proposed.

Can evaporative cooling reduce energy consumption in DC cooling systems?

To reduce energy consumption in DC cooling systems and harness renewable energy effectively, this study proposes a cooling device that integrates evaporative cooling with PCES technology under natural air cooling.

Are servers and cooling systems sustainable?

Servers and cooling systems are the primary energy-consuming devices within DCs , with refrigeration system alone accounting for approximately 40 % of total energy consumption . Therefore, a critical focus in ensuring the sustainability of DCs is reducing the energy consumption of their cooling systems.

Can a liquid air energy storage system overcome a major limitation?

Korean scientists have designed a liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology that reportedly overcomes the major limitation of LAES systems - their relatively low round-trip efficiency.

How evaporative cooling coupled PCEs technology can improve air quality?

Through the experimental research, the outdoor fresh air in high temperature areas and other regions can be directly processed by evaporative cooling coupled PCES technology to meet the requirements of DCs air supply under extreme high temperature climate.
