Intel has uploaded its investigation into using air economizers to optimize power and cooling in their data centers on Youtube athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRn_xW7VtWc&feature=uploademail.
The video documents a proof of concept (PoC) test that used 100% air exchange over a 10-month period with an extreme range in temperature, humidity, and air quality. The result was an estimated data center power savings of 67 percent and a potential savings of USD 2.87 million for a 10-MW data center.
