Abstract

This paper systematically describes the technical principles, evaluation indicators, system forms and research progress of air-side evaporative cooling air conditioning systems, water-side evaporative cooling air conditioning systems and freon-side evaporative cold coagulation heat air conditioning systems of Data center. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the refrigeration and air-conditioning system in the Data center, the application conditions and scenarios of the different forms of evaporative cooling air-conditioning systems should be considered comprehensively. Therefore, it is very important that the renewable energy-dry air can be used to the greatest extent. These efforts would contribute to China's 2030 "Carbon Peak" and 2060 "Carbon Neutral."
