Abstract
Data processing is a fundamental operation for modern business such as banks, reseller companies, technology companies, and factories, among others. However, computers dissipate heat and, as the operating temperature increases, and these machines cannot operate properly. Therefore, air conditioning systems are essential to remove heat but they have their major drawback to is rise increasing Data Centers electrical consumption. Considering this, the present work carried out an analysis in which an indirect free cooling system. A decision algorithm has been was developed based on thermal parametric data and cooling demand. A case study is analyzed for a typical data center located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It has a demand of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 kW/m² of specific power installed at the half and a total load. Temperature and Humidity indexes are based on the data obtained from ASHRAE. The valid results show which that, for a typical year, this system presents great opportunities for energy savings in all cases, especially in the winter season. In conclusion, the free cooling systems are a great alternative to reduce the energy consumption and operational cost of a Data Center.
