What are the types of data center cooling techniques?
Maintaining your equipment temperature is necessary for an efficient working data centre. However, excess warmth and humidity can lead to increase the financial burden upon your business; there are many techniques through which you can cool down your data centers for better functioning: Free cooling: Free cooling is a cost-effective way to cool down your data centre; it uses minimal cooling to maintain the temperature of the IT equipment. It works in two ways: air-side economisation and water-side economisation. Air-side economisation uses air from outside to cool down the equipment. In contrast, water-side economisation uses the evaporative cooling capacity of a cooling tower to produce chilled water to cool down the equipment. However, this technique has its drawbacks as it attracts dirt particles too with the air. Chilled water system: Liquid cooling is another option for maintaining the equipment temperature and is much more efficient because chilled water passes through the...
