Cooling solutions are used in data centers worldwide to lower the heat generated by IT equipment. Data centers operate air conditioning units, chillers, economizers, cooling towers or dry coolers, humidifiers, and also rack/row level cooling solutions. These cooling units involve the use of air and liquid-based cooling techniques. As the cooling process accounts for 40% of the power consumed in data centers, vendors are innovating and testing techniques to reduce operational expenditure.
