Founded in 1821 with a focus on liberal arts, Amherst College has seen an 85% increase in enrolments in STEM classes during the past 15 years. Consequently, a new Science Center opened in the fall of 2018 that embraces sustainability.
Evaporative cooling towers play an important role in green buildings by significantly reducing energy consumption when they supplement or replace traditional air conditioning systems, thereby reducing carbon footprint and operating costs.
Chiller performance and size no longer need to be at odds. The same advancements driving energy efficiency are also enabling reduced chiller footprints in both air- and water-cooled equipment.
Making specific design decisions at the project's outset can have long-lasting consequences. It's crucial to grasp these implications and effectively communicate them to the decision-makers.
As the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants ramps up over the next several years, technicians can expect to see a wider variety of refrigeration architectures that use lower-global warming potential (GWP) alternatives.
"The design of the chilled water cooling system within a data center is a critical part of its infrastructure," says author Patrick Cotton, Global Chiller Product Manager at Airedale.
The KUL Extreme is a versatile precision liquid-cooled server platform that can be used in various applications where high-performance computing, density, and energy efficiency are required.
