When it comes data centre cooling solutions, the term “free cooling” has entered general use in the data centre industry. Most people understand that it actually refers to “compressor free” cooling. That is to say, that there will be some cost and energy used in removing heat from the server racks but this is greatly reduced by eliminating the need to run compressors.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.future-tech.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/09-Future-Tech-Equipment-and-Solutions.png” alt=”equipment and solutions” title_text=”09 Future Tech – Equipment and Solutions” _builder_version=”4.16″ transform_translate=”0px|-119px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” custom_padding=”||80px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Soleil Regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#4A4A4A” text_line_height=”20px” header_font_size=”35px” header_3_font=”Soleil Bold|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#0C435E” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_line_height=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Free cooling is a data centre cooling solution achieved by using ambient air to cool the data centre either directly as in \u201cFresh Air Free Cooling\u201d or indirectly with heat exchangers. The heat exchangers in an indirect system can be water-to-water, air-to-water or air to some other heat transfer medium such as in thermal wheels and Phase Change Materials (PCM\u2019s).<\/p>\n It is possible, in theory at least, to have a completely energy free cooling system by using the \u2018stack effect\u2019 of the warm air as used in passive ventilation systems. However we are not aware of any such systems being in use (yet!).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text
