Product catalog summary
Overview
Carel provides climate solutions focusing on evaporative cooling, adiabatic humidification, and programmable controllers aimed at energy savings in data centers. These solutions are designed to reduce energy consumption while maintaining optimal operating conditions for IT equipment.

Energy Saving Solutions
Carel's solutions offer significant energy savings, with a global energy saving of 68 kW for every 100 l/h of evaporated water. These solutions are applicable to both new installations and retrofits, enhancing the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of existing data centers.

Data Center Air-Conditioning
Data centers consume approximately 30 GW of power globally, representing 1.5% of total electricity usage. Carel's solutions include Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC) and Close Control Units (CCU) that cool and humidify air efficiently. The use of air handling units for free cooling and adiabatic humidifiers further reduces energy consumption.

Evaporative Cooling and Adiabatic Humidification
These techniques are environmentally friendly and reduce power consumption. The solutions include direct and indirect evaporative cooling (DEC and IEC), which optimize the use of outside air and control humidity effectively.

System Configurations
  • Direct Free Cooling + DEC: Utilizes outside air for cooling, with DEC providing additional cooling when conditions allow.
  • Indirect Air-Side Free Cooling + IEC: Recirculates air through a heat recovery unit, avoiding contaminants and maximizing cooling efficiency.
  • Indirect Free Cooling + IEC with CRAC: Combines IEC with traditional CRAC units for retrofits, ensuring redundancy and precise humidity control.
  • Indirect Water-Side Free Cooling + IEC: Extends free cooling periods and reduces energy consumption by lowering condensing pressure.


Technological Components
  • pCO: Manages AHU components and controls temperature and humidity.
  • VFD Inverter: Modulates air volume to minimize energy consumption.
  • humiFog and optiMist: Ensure precise humidity control and energy savings.
  • ChillBooster: Enhances cooling efficiency by lowering refrigerant circuit temperatures.


Conclusion
Carel's climate solutions for data centers focus on maximizing energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact through advanced cooling and humidification technologies. These solutions are adaptable to various data center configurations and requirements, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
