Small Changes Deliver Major Water Savings

Evaporative cooling systems play a significant role in the cooling strategies of data centers to enhance air cooling, optimize temperatures and protect mission-critical computing systems. However, these systems were often installed with a one-size-fits-all approach, driven by the desire to accelerate time-to-market for new facilities. As a result, most evaporative cooling systems were never customized for the site’s climate, design, water type, set points and other factors, leading to inefficiencies that impact water usage, energy consumption and cooling effectiveness. 

With minor modifications, companies can quickly optimize their evaporative cooling systems and achieve major gains. In this Ask the Expert, Annette Dwyer, technical product manager at Munters Corporation, discusses minor changes that drive significant water savings, optimize cooling and enhance sustainability.
