According to a recent study from BSRIA, data center traffic is expected to grow at a 23 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reaching 8.6 zettabytes by 2018. That means a lot of new data centers will be popping up around the country. Cooling these data centers is an energy-intensive endeavor.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) has unveiled a solar-powered air conditioning system to cool Australian commercial buildings and achieve greater energy efficiency.
This induced-draft counterflow cooler features an evaporative fluid cooler flexible enough to meet a range of cooling needs. Process fluid is cooled by recirculating water that flows over the outside of heat transfer coils as air induced through the cooler evaporates a small portion of the recirculating water.
