Qe XFlex Containerised Adiabatic Cooling Units
Data center cooling, due to its variability and great energy saving potential, has become the focus of Application A: XFlexTM Mounted on Side of Data Center attention recently and in the future. Because of this, Qe has launched the energy efficient XFlexTM series, a modularized evaporative cooling system to meet the energy-saving requirements of the data center.
Qe XFlexTM adopts advanced indirect evaporative cooling technology which is specially designed for high efficient cooling in the data center. The principle is that the wet bulb temp is lower than the dry bulb temp to increase the time of free cooling. More than 60% of the energy consumption of the air conditioning can be saved by a combination of air-side efficient heat exchange cooling and evaporative cooling most of the year.
XFlexTM Operation Modes of Cooling System
The XflexTM cooling system has three main operating modes. Air-to-air heat exchange dry mode, indirect evaporative heat exchange wet mode and mixed mode of evaporative cooling & DX/CW.
XFlexTM How to Realise High Efficiency & Energy Saving
The XFlexTM modular evaporative cooling system provides significant energy savings when deployed. This can be seen in the Northern region where is exceeds 6000hr of operation.
Compared with traditional air conditioning systems and chilled water free cooling systems, XFlexTM can save more than 60% energy, effectively reducing power consumption and providing a greener and lower-carbon data centre.
Compared with direct air-side free cooling, XFlexTM does have a similar energy efficiency. It isolates the air between indoor and outdoor effectively and reduces indoor pollution but has a lower total operating cost.
