Indirect adiabatic AHU for data centres

Airedale Air Conditioning. adiabatic cooling, AHU, air-handling unit

Airedale International’s Aireflow air-handling unit is designed to provide adiabatic cooling for data centres. It is an indirect system, eliminating the risk of contaminated air entering the data centre. The use of fresh air as the main cooling source significantly reduces operational costs.

Based on ambient temperatures in London, Aireflow units could achieve ASHRAE conditions using 100% free cooling. Indirect cooling solutions also reduce the dependency on back-up mechanical cooling required to prevent contaminated ambient air permeating the data centre. There is therefore no need for internal air-conditioning units.

Aireflow units are in five footprints between 100 and 440 kW, with two case sizes, depending on whether a roof- or wall-mounted connection is required.

More refrigerant bans possible, says government

The government could tighten up the rules that restrict the use of global warming refrigerant gases including speeding up phase-out programmes and introducing new bans, according to a spokesman from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Baxi research suggests schools strongly support heat decarbonisation

A survey conducted by Baxi of 200 state school estates managers, consultant engineers and M&E contractors has found that while enthusiasm for Net Zero and support for low carbon heating systems in schools is thriving, persistent barriers remain.
