Cooling
Cooling server hardware is an essential part of any data center. It's also one of the most energy consuming practices.To combat this the data center uses a technique known as evaporative cooling, this is a physical phenomenon in which evaporation of a liquid, typically into surrounding air, cools an object or a liquid in contact with it. It is ideal for dry & hot climates such as California.
Air Conditioning Systems
Coolerado air condition systems use the principle of evaporate cooling and have been installed in the data centre. Water is evaporated into air in one chamber and this cools the air flowing in an adjacent chamber. The cold air is used for cooling while the water vapor holding the heat is exhausted outside to be renewed by the atmosphere.
The air conditioning system:
eliminates the need for refrigerants by using rainwater collected off our buildings, which is then used to cool outside air. This cold outside air is then pushed into our data center and office. These methods use 90% less electricity (600 watts max), create an EER of 40+, use water instead of electricity for cooling, and have zero water impact.
