Free Cooling (economizers)
Free cooling (economizers) is a method used to reduce energy costs by harnessing the natural power of outside air or water without using mechanical means. It's typically done by using heat exchangers that transfer cold air inside airplane hangers, computer rooms, or industrial facilities. This type of technology can be used in many different ways depending on the building you're dealing with and how much space is available for installation purposes.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Free Cooling (economizers)
For SMBs, free cooling is a great way to save on energy costs. By using economizers, SMBs can reduce the amount of power they consume to operate facilities and help protect the environment by reducing emissions from traditional heating and cooling methods. Free cooling is often implemented in data centers and other IT-related spaces to prevent servers and equipment from overheating. It's an essential method that helps maintain equipment integrity while also reducing operational costs.
