An air handling unit for a data centre, a data centre comprising such, a method of operating such, and a method of cooling IT equipment in a data centre using such, is disclosed. The unit comprises an external airflow path (102) arranged to be in fluid communication with outside air, a separate internal airflow path (103) arranged to be in fluid communication with inside air, and heat tube panels (106). Preferably, each heat tube panel (106) comprises a heat tube comprising a first section in the external airflow path (102) and a second section in the internal airflow path (103). Preferably, the plurality of heat tube panels (106) is in a row across the internal and external air flow paths (103, 102). Preferably, at least one of the heat tube panels (106) is removable and extends through an opening between the internal and external air flow paths (103, 102).
An indirect air cooler for cooling a data centre, wherein the indirect air cooler defines:
A method of operating an indirect air cooler for a data centre, wherein the indirect air cooler defines:
An indirect air cooling unit for cooling a data centre, wherein the indirect air cooling unit comprises a first air flow path, a second air flow path, and a plurality of heat tubes for transferring heat from air flowing along the first air flow path to air flowing along the second air flow path;
A method of operating an indirect air cooling unit for a data centre, wherein the indirect air cooling unit comprises a first air flow path, a second air flow path, and a plurality of heat tubes for transferring heat from air flowing along the first air flow path to air flowing along the second air flow path,
