Is Outside Air Cooler?
Some locations in Asia offer potential of free cooling


Economizers

  • Lower energy usage
  • Lessen wear and tear on precision air conditioning equipment
  • Decrease operational costs

Air-side economizers

  • Control mechanism to regulate the use of outside air for cooling in a room or building

Fluid-based economizers

  • Works in conjunction with a heat rejection loop consisting of a cooling tower, evaporative cooler or dry cooler

Limited Application in Asia

  • With a few exceptions Asia mostly too hot to benefit from free cooling
