Cooling Solutions in Data Centres - UK The key objective has been to determine the size of the data centre cooling in the UK market and trends affecting the industry, encompassing: 1. Computer room air conditioning (CRAC) 2. Direct and indirect evaporative cooling 3. Close coupled cooling, including rear door heat exchangers, overhead terminal units and in- between row cooling 4. Other smaller markets such as traditional air handling units distinct from direct and indirect evaporative cooling 5. An estimation is made on the total value of the various options of external cooling, focusing on the new build sector. Much of the data centre cooling market makes use of existing external cooling products already in situ, or the internal cooling products are replacing existing products that have reached the end of their life cycle (like for like replacement), or are displacing other products (rear door heat exchangers replacing CRAC units) 6. Future outlook on the likely growth or decline in each markets is also given 1. Key findings..... 7 2. UK economy and macro economic trends... 9 3. UK construction trends... 10 4.
