Are data centres and telecommunication base stations energy-saving?Data centres (DCs) and telecommunication base stations (TBSs) are energy intensive with ∼40% of the energy consumption for cooling. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on recent research on energy-saving technologies for cooling DCs and TBSs, covering free-cooling, liquid-cooling, two-phase cooling and thermal energy storage based cooling.
How to maintain the indoor temperature of a DC or TBS?To maintain the indoor temperature of DCs or TBSs, the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) system and chilled-water system have been developed which are energy intensive (Borah et al., 2015) and contribute more carbon emissions.
Can energy-saving cooling technologies be applied to DCS & TBSS?Energy-saving cooling technologies, as environmentally friendly and low-cost cooling solution, have been developed low-carbon, energy-efficient and achieving sustainability (Cho et al., 2017). Such cooling technologies could be applied to DCs and TBSs since their servers and racks have similar layouts.
What is a TBS cooling system?TBSs are communication equipment centres that send, receive and exchange signals in an information transmission network. They have a higher internal heat density than most of general computer rooms and therefore generally need a cooling system with a higher cooling intensity.
Can low-grade waste heat recovery technologies be integrated with energy-saving cooling technologies?They also evaluated the applicability and effectiveness of potential low-grade waste heat recovery technologies integrated with energy-saving cooling technologies, including air cooling, liquid cooling, and two-phase cooling (Ebrahimi et al., 2014).
Do natural cooling sources increase the coefficient of performance of TBS?They also showed an increase of the annual coefficient of performance (COP) of the TBSs by 23.7% with the ESR reaching 19.2% with the full utilization of natural cooling sources (Dong et al., 2017).
