Unlocking the power of single-phase immersion cooling for data centres
The benefit of immersion cooling is that it eliminates the need for traditional air-cooling infrastructure, reducing both capital expenditure and operational costs. This innovative cooling method relies on the principle of direct liquid-to-heat contact, providing a far more efficient and effective cooling solution for data centres compared to convential methods.
The main benefits of single-phase immersion cooling include:
Environmental - Immersion cooling uses significantly less energy and can decrease carbon footprints by up to 40%, real estate footprints by around 30%, and water usage by an astounding 8 million gallons per megawatt. This makes it an essential technology for organisations focused on achieving sustainability goals and reducing their overall environmental impact.
Space – Immersion cooling allows for higher server density, which saves valuable space in high-density data centres. By minimising the need for large, complex air-handling systems, operators can optimise their floor space and house more computing power within the same footprint.
Safety – The coolant used in immersion cooling acts as a fire suppressant, significantly reducing the risk of fire within the data centre environment. This added layer of safety can help protect valuable infrastructure and improve overall operational security.
Scalability - As data centres grow, so do their cooling requirements. Immersion cooling is highly scalable and can easily accommodate future growth and changes in cooling needs without major overhauls or additional infrastructure.
Single phase immersion cooling enhances the reliability of data centre equipment. By providing precise temperature control, it reduces the risk of equipment overheating and failure. This improved reliability ensures uninterrupted operation and minimises downtime. At Crest Pumps, we believe unplanned downtime destroys profits and reputations. And it is our mission to make sure you never have to worry about it again through highly efficient and reliable pumps backed up by a 50-year commitment to keep your pumps up and running effectively.
