Does liquid air energy storage improve data-center immersion cooling?

A mathematical model of data-center immersion cooling using liquid air energy storage is developed to investigate its thermodynamic and economic performance. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm is utilized to maximize the cost effectiveness of a liquid air-based cooling system taking the time-varying cooling demand into account.

Can a data center cooling system use liquid air energy storage?

By using liquid air energy storage, the system eliminates the date center's reliance on the continuous power supply. Develop a thermodynamic and economic model for the liquid-air-based data center cooling system, and carry out a sensitivity analysis on operating parameters for the cooling system.

Is liquid air a viable cooling technology for high-density data centers?

The evaporation process of liquid air leads to a high heat absorption capacity, which is expected to be a viable cooling technology for high-density data center. Therefore, this paper proposes a liquid air-based cooling system for immersion cooling in data centers.

What is liquid air energy storage?

Energy 5 012002 DOI 10.1088/2516-1083/aca26a Article PDF Liquid air energy storage (LAES) uses air as both the storage medium and working fluid, and it falls into the broad category of thermo-mechanical energy storage technologies.

What are liquid-cooled hybrid thermal management systems?

In terms of liquid-cooled hybrid systems, the phase change materials (PCMs) and liquid-cooled hybrid thermal management systems with a simple structure, a good cooling effect, and no additional energy consumption are introduced, and a comprehensive summary and review of the latest research progress are given.

How does a liquid air based cooling system work?

The cooling released by the evaporator, chiller and economizer is stored in the cold storage tank and used as required. The liquid air-based cooling system proposed in this paper not only cools the data center directly, but also generates electricity through the direct expansion of high-pressure air.
