The cost gap between air cooling and liquid cooling of energy storage equipment

With the current air-cooling method of precision air conditioners, the system cooling cost accounts for 1.5% of the system cost, while after adopting the liquid-cooling method, the system cost is 3%, an increase of 100%. To maintain the temperature within the container at the normal operating temperature of the battery, current energy storage containers have two main heat dissipation structures: air cooling and liquid cooling. Air cooling systems use air as a cooling medium, which exchanges heat through convection to reduce the temperature of the battery.

Is a liquid air storage system more efficient than a CAES system?

Kantharaj et al proposed a CAES system with liquid air storage, with an aim to overcome the needs for a pressurized large storage tank and the geological constraint of CAES. They found an efficiency of the hybrid system at about 42%, and concluded that the system was more economical than purely an LAES or a CAES system.

Is liquid cooling better than air cooled data center?

It demonstrates that for like densities (10kW/rack), the data center cost of an air-cooled and liquid-cooled data center are roughly equal. But as described above, liquid cooling also enables compaction of the IT, and with compaction, there is an opportunity for a capex sav-ings.

How to evaluate the performance of a cooling system?

The parasitic energy consumption of the fan in the air cooling system and the pump in the liquid cooling system are crucial factors to evaluate the performance of the cooling systems.

Should you choose liquid cooling over traditional air cooling?

There are several known benefits of choosing liquid cooling over traditional air cooling including energy savings. Capi-tal cost, however, is viewed as a common obstacle.

Does liquid cooling save space?

Although there is no compaction of the IT white space, facility space is saved by the reduction of cooling system switchgear and UPS systems. Savings include other associated costs linked to space, like fire suppression, lighting, etc. Additionally, liquid cooling does not re-quire any air containment, so this is removed.

Which energy storage system has the lowest cost?

Because the energy carriers are either flammable or at high pressure, hydrogen storage and compressed air energy storage are projected to have the greatest storage costs. Due to its low energy density, pumped hydro storage has a cheap cost. Despite the fact that insulation is required, LAES and flow batteries offer the lowest cost.
