Data Center Uses MeeFog™ System to Keep Operating Through a Heat Wave
The Challenge
To boost the capacity of the existing rooftop condenser units for an 80,000 sq ft urban data center so the company could add more computing equipment without having to shut down the data center during summer heat waves.
The Solution
Install MeeFog fogging units on the eight existing rooftop dry cooler condenser units. Operate the MeeFog units when glycol temperatures exceed 100°F.
Major Financial Institution, New York City Metropolitan Area
A major financial institution operates two mirrored data centers to service its New York City operations. One of these occupies the second floor in a 14-story brick building, originally built in 1912 to house a department store, but now a multi-tenant structure hosting computing and telecom equipment. The 87,000 square foot data center contains about 30,000 square feet of white space for the computing and storage equipment and a small amount of office space. The rest of the space is used for battery rooms and other ancillary equipment.
Efficiently Pre-Cool Condenser Coils
The MeeFog™ evaporative cooling process significantly improves the performance of an air conditioning unit.
Mee Industries is the original developer of inlet air fogging, a technology designed to increase gas turbine power output, and has applied this technology to a wide variety of applications. Pre-Cooling condenser coils boosts compressor throughput and efficiency.
Our system increases refrigeration capacity during periods of high ambient temperatures by evaporatively cooling the air cooled condensers. The capacity increase and electrical demand reduction is significant. To achieve the desired end result, the design capacity of the evaporative cooling system must be sufficient to over-cool the air entering the condenser. The objective being to maximize the cooling effect and to wet the condenser tubes. The additional capacity can allow up to 15-20% of existing compressors to be valved off if the facility does not need the increased capacity.
Most importantly, return on investment for installing a MeeFog system can be realized in less than one year.
