• Data centres are generally air cooled and the heat dissipated to ambient

Main Approaches to Data Centre Cooling
• Efficiency or CoP is
important
• CoPc = Qe/ W = 4/1

Case Study of Data Centre
Waste Heat Recovery
• Mӓntsӓlӓ, Finland.
• reduced gas consumption by
• Using six heat pumps, total capacity 4 MW,
50% and CO2 emissions by
supply enough heat for 1500 homes

Waste Heat Recovery Case
Studies in UK
UK power networks
• London electricity substation to provide heat for Tate
Modern building.
• Heat is released from transformers
• 7000 MWh per year, saving 1400 tonnes of CO2e,
Telehouse West
• Large data centre waste heat recovery scheme.
• 2009 – GLA plan for 28,000 m2 data centre facilities,
• Includes waste heat recovery to a local DHN for
local community heating.
• DHN has not been built and the waste heat recovery
facility is not used

with waste heat recovery
• Reducing energy
• RHI
costs associated with cooling
• Lower carbon emissions
• Shared equipment costs
• Plant space
• Noise
Some Barriers of Waste Heat Utilisation
• Technical - applications and technology.
• Economics –
