Why Choose Us
Why Choose Free Air Cooling?
Most of the year, your data centre cooling system can run with almost zero chiller use—massively reducing electricity costs compared to traditional systems. Only on extremely hot or humid days do backup coolers or water-dampened filters activate, so you pay for far less power but
maintain reliable, 24/7 coverage for your IT equipment and data centre.
- Major Energy Savings: Cut cooling electricity costs by up to 80% by reducing dependency on chillers in your data centre.
- Automatic Switching: The system seamlessly switches between free air and backup cooling only when needed for peak heat or humidity, keeping your data centre operational.
- Low Carbon Footprint: Achieve your organisation’s sustainability goals—less energy consumed, lower CO₂ output for your data centre.
Reliable Cooling in Any Environment
Free air cooling can be fitted in almost any facility—from legacy server rooms to the latest data halls. Installation is clean and quick, and the technology scales to suit your data centre's needs now and in future.
