Energy Efficiency and Increasing Data Center Temperatures Without Risk

Energy Efficiency and Increasing Data Center Temperatures Without Risk Even when ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.09 released the Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments, a path to improve efficiency was laid out to be followed.  And with each update additional energy savings could be found as the group found that IT equipment was becoming much more […]

Warmer Chilled Water on Existing Systems

So we are looking to save energy, and one of those ways is increasing the chilled water temperature.  But how does that save anything?  Increasing the chilled water temperature brings it closer to the condenser water temperature and thereby reduces the amount of work (lift) a chiller has to perform.  Since the chiller usually has […]
