Unique in its approach Excool is able to cool data centres with year round full or partial free cooling. Mechanical cooling is only required to top-up the partial cooling element only when the outdoor temperature is excessively high.
The successful initial application of the technology and first of its kind in the UK in 2010 has been followed by installations by leading global DC providers and end users.
The system uses outdoor air to indirectly cool the indoor air supply removing the data centre heat via a specially designed PVC heat exchanger. Heat transfer is achieved without the outdoor air entering the building. Therefore outdoor hazards such as fire, air pollution and salt aerosol are kept out of the building.
Excool have optimised air to air heat exchanger technology specifically for the application of adiabatic and evaporative cooling in data centres.
Excool’s unique heat exchanger is manufactured from a composite material which unlike the more commonly used aluminium, makes it resistant to corrosion, more robust and leak tight.
The Excool adiabatic and evaporative cooling system has been developed specifically for the product and is highly efficient both in terms of its ability to saturate the outdoor air fully and in its water use. Supply air temperature is controlled by a modulating outdoor air volume, water use and, when required, mechanical cooling.
