Cooling conjecture: cloud engineering could be more promising than previously believed

Envirotec Magazine

Cloud ‘engineering’ could be more effective for climate cooling than previously thought, because of the increased cloud cover produced, new research seems to show. They were able to show that the cloud cover relatively increased by up to 50% during the periods of volcanic activity, producing a cooling effect of up to -10 W m-2 regionally.

Sponsored Content: Exploring data centres’ free cooling potential

Envirotec Magazine

With as much as 40% of an average data centre’s energy consumption attributable to cooling, there is a clear need for more efficient heat transfer technology when aiming to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Access to data has become more crucial than ever, leading some to label a broadband connection as the fourth utility.

Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. This is achieved by compressing the air to form a high-pressure gas, the air is then cooled by heat exchange with a cold fluid.

Sponsored Content: Digester temperature: To heat or to cool?

Envirotec Magazine

Maintaining the optimum digestion temperature may require additional heating or cooling. In some cases, cooling may also be required, for example where the feedstock coming into the digester comes from a higher temperature pre-treatment system such as a pasteuriser or hydrolysis tank. www.hrs-heatexchangers.com.
