Updated Aegean Fan Coil Unit for heating and cooling comfort
Newly updated Aegean fan coil unit exceeds current and future market requirements
centres, consuming vast quantities of water for cooling purposes.
Innovative strategies
are being adopted to minimise water consumption in data centre HVAC systems. Air-side economisers leverage outside air for cooling during favourable weather conditions, reducing reliance on water- intensive cooling systems. Water recycling
and re-use techniques, such as grey water systems, capture and treat non-potable water from sources like rainwater or condensate. This captured water can be used in cooling towers. Advanced cooling system controls, which allow for precise monitoring and management of cooling operations, optimise the process and reduce unnecessary water usage.
In certain climates with cooler climates or where water availability is a significant concern, data centres are adopting dry cooling systems. These rely on air rather than water for heat dissipation.
Refrigerant Solutions
As part of the decarbonisation process, data centre HVAC systems are looking to use lower GWP refrigerants. With the emergence of F-gas regulations in 2020, Carrier responded to these changes with screw chillers operating on R-1234ze refrigerant. Carrier uses a particular blend of R-1234ze, an HFO refrigerant with a very low GWP of less than one, providing an environmentally sustainable solution and compliance with regulations.
Carrier data centre solutions
As well as a range of air-cooled chillers, water-cooled chillers, air handling units, computer room air handlers and fan walls, Carrier’s range of smart and connected solutions deliver upstream data from the data centre ecosystem to cool, monitor, maintain, analyse and protect the facility to meet green building standards, sustainability goals and comply with local greenhouse gas emission regulations. Carrier’s Nlyte tools share detailed information between the HVAC equipment, power systems and servers/workloads that run within data centres, providing unprecedented transparency and control of the infrastructure for improved uptime. Integrated Data Centre Management (IDCM) offers the next level of insight and control for today’s increasingly complex computing and supporting infrastructure. It tightly integrates the various systems with a data centre in new ways for energy savings, reduced costs and improved resiliency. Benefits include increased efficiency of power, cooling and space by matching capacity with actual and forecasted demand, minimised disruption from planned maintenance or unforeseen failures of power, thermal or building systems, meets strict environmental requirements necessary to ensure uptime and keep servers running cool and around the clock, supports sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. Carrier’s iVu® Building Automation System brings a building’s subsystems together with one web-based platform that makes it easy to understand, control and analyse data centre operations. These intelligent tools balance power usage effectiveness with the conditions needed to maximize uptime and adhere to service-level agreements.
