Industry Overview

Big data centers generally include IDC, comprehensive date room, etc., with high cabinet density and great heat generation. Chilled water air-conditioning systems are mostly used, and room-level or row-to-column-level air conditioners are used indoors, and hot and cold aisles are isolated or closed. The date room is airtight, and the refrigeration cycle runs throughout the year, which consumes a lot of energy. At present, the PUE is more than 1.6.

With the geometric growth of the size and number of data centers, as well as the intensive introduction of national energy strategic policies, the implementation of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goal and the mandatory restrictions on the PUE value of data centers. Making full use of natural cold sources, introducing new technologies, reducing energy consumption, and improving system energy efficiency have become urgent issues for data centers.

Aolan Energy Saving Solution Advantages

Aolan evaporative cooling technology adopts different schemes according to different regional meteorological conditions, different building scales and different application scenarios.

1. In the cold and dry areas in the north, the indirect evaporative high temperature chiller + terminal scheme, or the indirect evaporative AHU scheme, or the direct evaporative scheme (in areas with better air quality), most of the PUE can be lower than 1.2.

2. In other medium-humidity areas in the north, the indirect evaporative high temperature chiller + terminal + mechanical refrigeration scheme, or the indirect evaporative AHU + mechanical refrigeration scheme, or the evaporative + mechanical refrigeration scheme (in areas with better air quality), most of the PUE can be lower than 1.25.

3. In the southern region,evaporative + indirect evaporative cooling tower + traditional air conditioning is adopted, and most of the PUE can be lower than 1.3.
