Definition: KyotoCooling
A water-free cooling system for datacenters from KyotoCooling that uses a rotating heat exchanger wheel that resides above the equipment floor. Commonly used in combination with traditional air conditioning, which can be idle as much as 75% of the year depending on geographic location, KyotoCooling saves water and power. In addition, KyotoCooling datacenters can have equipment on cement floors rather than raised floors, allowing heavier equipment to occupy the same footprint. See rack mounted and datacenter cooling.
The KyotoCooling System
The rising hot air from the servers is absorbed in the massive spinning honeycomb-like KyotoWheel in the server plenum, which is cooled in the outside-air plenum. The cooler air is sent down to the servers.
