October 2009 Meeting
Topic
Energy Efficient Solutions for Data Center Heat Rejection
A variety of design strategies will be presented that offer significant savings in peak electrical demand and annual power consumption, while effectively controlling cold aisle temperature and humidity within the recommended best practices envelope. The pros and cons will be discussed for each of the cooling systems presented. Air handling designs that use air-side economizers, direct evaporative cooling, direct plus indirect evaporative cooling, and a new indirect exclusive cooling technique that rejects heat to ambient air 'indirectly' will be presented.
