Operation price of energy storage liquid cooling system

What is the total energy consumption of a liquid cooling data center?

The total energy consumption includes the energy consumptions of the cabinets, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling system, lighting system, power transfer, and distribution system. The PUE of the liquid cooling data centers can usually be reduced to below 1.3 [6, 7].

Is indirect liquid cooling a viable solution for cabinet power density reduction?

Indirect liquid cooling is currently the main cooling method for the cabinet power density of 20 to 50 kW per cabinet. An integrated energy storage batteries (ESB) and waste heat-driven cooling/power generation system was proposed in this study for energy saving and operating cost reduction.

How much energy is saved by a cooling system?

Coupled waste heat recovery and energy storage subsystems were included. Refrigeration modes were clarified to save cooling energy. Power usage effectiveness is reduced from 1.317 to 0.981. Maximum energy saving reaches 90.8 GWh/year with 1000 cabinets. Maximum net present value reaches 998 million CNY.

Can a liquid cooling data center drive adsorption refrigeration cycle?

Waste heat from a liquid cooling data center was utilized to drive an adsorption refrigeration cycle in Ref. , and the generated refrigeration capacity of the ARC was further used for air cooling. It was found that for a 350 kW water cooling system and a 50 kW air cooling system, the discounted payback period (DPB) was as low as 285 days.
