Reducing energy consumption through improved cooling performance

Data centers are an essential part of todays’ economy but have also become a huge drain on our energy resources. With the growth of cloud computing, HPC, AI, and Micro Data Centers just to name a few, this trend is not disappearing anytime soon. What can data center and facility managers do to reduce energy consumption? How can they drive down TCO while making the data center sustainable and greener? The answer is airflow and cooling optimization for both new and existing data enters, with typical ROI results of about 1 year or less.

In this session, GF Piping’s Head of Data Center Market Development, Mark Bulmer, talks with DIN about the many applications of their cooling solutions and how they’ve been recognised for their sustainability initiatives which are key to their methodology. We also delve into GF’s vital work in the semi-conductor market and how their solutions are driving higher efficiency times for Data Center construction.

The explosive growth of data usage, driven recently from IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, autonomous cars, 5G, social media and other expanding innovations, is taxing conventional data center cooling solutions and pressing data centers toward more sustainable infrastructure solutions.At Nortek Data Center Cooling, we are creating the next generation of cooling technology to bring efficiency gains, reduce energy consumption and increase performance in data centers around the world. Our StatePoint® system uses an indirect evaporative cooling method with a unique semi-permeable membrane exchanger that completely separates water from the air stream resulting in significant PUE and WUE savings.
