Case Studies - Cooling the Server Room
Warwickshire council server units
Two EcoCoolers were installed as part of a balanced ventilation system for a server room at Kings House, Bedworth to cover a 30KW Load.
The server room was being cooled by three existing CRAC’s (Conventional Computer Room Air Conditioners). EcoCooling was chosen as a solution to reduce the electricity costs and associated carbon footprint.
The graph below shows the temperature performance achieved.

Two evaporative cooling units were used in the server room as part of a balanced ventilation scheme. The existing CRAC’s were retained as a backup.
Since commissioning the CRAC’s have not been used.
