- Title
OA Economizers For Data Centers.
- Authors
Sorell, Vali
- Abstract
The article focuses on data centers, their large use of energy, and offers economizers as a means to a more energy efficient cooling system design. Attention is paid to water-side economizers and air-side economizers. These can both reduce hours of operation of equipment, particularly chiller operation. Outside air economizers are one of the most cost efficient methods, yet there is concern that outdoor contaminants can affect the data center. Particular attention is paid to outside air filtration, temperature and humidity control in connection with addressing the aforementioned concern and in ensuring that reliability of the center is not compromised.
