Waste Heat Recovery in Data Centers Using Sorption Systems

摘要: Of the total electricity consumption by United States in 2006, more than 1% was used on data centers alone; a value that continues to rise rapidly. amount of center consumes, about 30% is cool server equipment. The present study conceptualizes and analyzes novel paradigm consisting integrated power, cooling, waste heat recovery upgrade systems considerably lower energy footprint centers. Thus, on-site power generation equipment supply primary needs center. microturbine-derived recovered run an absorption chiller supplies entire cooling load center, essentially providing requisite without any additional expenditure energy. Furthermore, remaining rejected boosted higher temperature with transformer, upgraded thermal stream serving as output negligible electrical input. Such can be for district heating applications neighboring residential or commercial buildings, process end uses such laundries, hospitals, restaurants, depending location With system, usage whole reduced up 23% while still addressing high-flux loads, addition new income through sales Given large fast-escalating patterns centers, this novel, approach supply, will substantially reduce important use worldwide.
