    YOUR ULTIMATE SOLUTION
    FOR AN INCREASING MARKET

    Recent data from the IEA's Electricity 2024 Report: Analysis and Forecast to 2026 shows that the electricity consumption from data centers and related industries could double in the near future. The data center environment is changing rapidly:

     

    • 20% of all data centers will include liquid cooling technology by 2026 
    • Electricity demand growth of the AI industry is expected to be at least 10X by 2026 
    • An average of 40% of data center electricity demands is used for cooling systems 
    • Shifting air cooling systems to liquid cooling by 75% can save an estimated 27% of electricity demand

    A cooling system in a data center helps to maintain an optimal temperature within the facility. It consists of different equipment that dissipates heat generated by servers, networking devices, and other IT equipment housed in the data center.

    Data center cooling systems remove heat generated by servers and other equipment to maintain a stable operating temperature. This can be done through different methods like air conditioning units, precision cooling systems, or liquid cooling systems. 

    To cool a data center, you need to consider factors like how much heat your equipment generates, airflow, the temperature and humidity of the room, and how well the facility is insulated. Then, you can select a cooling solution that meets your needs. 

    It varies in cost depending primarily on the size of the facility and the data center cooling system used. Cooling expenses can take up a significant portion of a data center's operational expenses, so it's important to implement efficient materials and technologies that can reduce the total cost of ownership.

    Air-cooled data centers use air conditioning units or precision cooling systems to get rid of the heat, while liquid-cooled data centers use liquid coolants to directly absorb the heat from your equipment. Air-cooled systems are more common, whereas liquid-cooled systems are more efficient and the preferred choice for high-density computing.
