This data-file captures the costs of industrial cooling, especially liquid cooling using commercial HVAC equipment, across heat-exchangers, cooling tower evaporators and chillers. Our base case is that removing 100MW-th of…
…of AI data-centers requires 150GW-th of data-center cooling. Hence the data-center cooling market is summarized on page 2. The commercial cooling industry hinges on industrial HVAC, across heat exchangers, water…
…are power-grid planner. This data-file calculates how energy demand changes with cooling degree days. Against a baseline of 1,500 US Cooling Degree Days per year (in Fahrenheit terms), a good…
…vehicle. Typical air conditioners have a coefficient of performance (COP) of 2.5-3.5x, which means that each kWh of electricity inputs will deliver 2.5-3.5 kWh-th of cooling energy. Cooling energy, in…
…costs. About one-third of the total energy requirements from air conditioning are expended cooling air (specific heat capacity) and two-thirds are expended condensing water vapor (water will naturally drop out…
…cooling channels (rather than drilling them) and bond coats that improve the adherence of Thermal Barrier Coatings. Our Howmet gas turbine technology review found support for these claims, via reviewing…
…systems (4 kg per home). There is also an industrial heating-cooling industry, including MW-scale chillers that might contain 400kg of refrigerants, to large global LNG plants. The market is growing….
Thermoelectric devices convert heat directly into electricity, or conversely provide localized cooling/heating by absorbing electricity. This data-file screens leading companies in thermoelectrics, their product specifications, applications and underlying calculations for…
This data-file models heat pump economics, costs, energy savings and potential CO2 savings of a ground source heat pump (GHP), compared to traditional home heating and cooling options. A GHP…
…is built up in the data-file, drawing on cost data for various IT components, cooling, chillers, transformers, switchgear, battery UPS, backup generators, plus broader infrastructure such as generation, transmission and…
