Indirect Adiabatic Cooling
Weatherite’s unique Indirect Adiabatic Cooling Solution, developed as part of our continual R&D programme, delivers exceptional cooling capabilities, substantial energy savings and minimises carbon emissions.
Operating 24/7 data centres consume vast amounts of energy and generate significant levels of heat – and this heat needs to be effectively controlled to ensure the safe, energy efficient, reliable and continual operation of the mission critical IT facilities housed within them.
Indirect free cooling, in combination with adiabatic cooling, can deliver substantial benefits when looking for a data centre cooling solution.
What is Indirect adiabatic or Evaporative cooling?
Indirect Adiabatic cooling utilises the principles of both free cooling and adiabatic cooling with heat transfer achieved through fluid to air heat exchangers. Water is evaporated 100% separately from the air stream that supplies cooling with no cross over between air paths.
Our unique system has the benefit of extremely low water consumption and low annual operating costs and can substantially reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical cooling.
benefits
- Lower capital costs compared to other adiabatic solutions
- Low water consumption
- Utilisation of ‘mains supply’ water- no requirement for ‘reverse osmosis water treatment’
- If adiabatic element is not required, a by-pass damper opens to reduce ‘air-side’ pressure drop-thereby reducing fan power usage and associated energy costs
- No legionella concerns - due to innovative design
- A more flexible design - compared to other solutions
- Extremely low carbon footprint
- No water tower requirement
- Flexibility built into our ‘packaged’ design - ensuring we deliver exactly the right configuration
- Longer maintenance intervals
- Maintenance does not interrupt IT operations
- Quality as standard - over 47 years delivering bespoke cooling solutions
Independently tested to and compliant with the latest ISO/BS/EN standards and ErP Eco-Design Directives and built in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 quality and ISO 14001:2015 environmental standards.
