Cray's breakthrough ECO friendly cooling system uses banned and health dangerouses coolant


The technology, called ECOphlex (PHase-change Liquid EXchange) has been designed to be "room air neutral", where the temperature of the air which enters the system is similar to that exiting the system.

The company's new cabinet with ECOphlex technology can either use Cray's vertical air cooling or its new liquid evaporative phase-change cooling technology which converts R134a, an inert coolant, from liquid to gas.

Under the new legislation the sale of refrigerant cans containing R134a would be prohibited before 2010 to avoid accidental release of the refrigerant while re-filling the air conditioning system.
It has the formula CH2FCF3, and boiling point of −26 .3 °C (−15.34 °F).

Obviously, recently established cooperation with Intel gives the Cray first positive moral benefits.
