Abstract
⺠Provision of low cost cooling for data centers is highly sought with the increase of cost of electricity and heat dissipation volumes. ⺠Many Australian cities enjoy cool and dry weather conditions during winter months. ⺠Data center operators can exploit these conditions by introducing outside air into their data centers and save cost of cooling. ⺠This paper evaluates the potential of using economizers for data centre cooling by analyzing hourly weather data of past 12 years. ⺠We identified that the capital cities in Southern states of Australia have sizable potential for using economizers above 60% of the time in a typical year.
