EcoDataCenter to deploy world ’ s first chassislevel immersion liquid cooling solution from Iceotope , Schneider Electric and Avnet

The first global use case of a chassis-level immersion liquid cooling solution will be installed at EcoDataCenter ’ s climate positive data centre . Chassis-level immersion liquid cooling can reduce rack cooling energy by up to 90 % and data centre energy usage by up to 14 %. Other benefits include greater efficiency , lower operating costs and smaller footprint . significant CAPEX savings of 14 % and at least 10 % energy savings , when compared with traditional air-cooled approaches for a 2MW facility . Over a 20 year period , this provides a reduced Total Cost of Ownership ( TCO ) of 11 %.

David Craig , CEO of Iceotope , said , “ Chassis-level immersion cooling offers colocation , hyperscale and Edge Computing environments a practical and industry-leading solution for cooling high-density , critical IT loads . We ’ re delighted to be working alongside EcoDataCenter where our liquid cooling technology is helping to deliver reliable IT services with little or no impact on the environment , while helping to reduce costs associated with energy usage even further .” ◊

Iceotope cooling technologies has announced , in conjunction with partners , Schneider Electric and Avnet , it is to deploy its chassis-level immersion liquid cooling technology at EcoDataCenter ’ s new colocation facility in Falun , Sweden . Once installed , EcoDataCenter , the world ’ s first climate positive data centre , will become the first colocation service provider to offer chassis-level immersion cooling technology for customers ’ hosted IT loads .

Developed by Iceotope , the chassis-level immersion cooling solution will enable 46kW per rack , with the core technology capable of scaling to future-proof power densities of 100kW plus . Liquid cooling can improve chip and hard drive reliability by providing a lower stable operating temperature , as well as increasing the available white space by eliminating the requirement for hot aisle / cold aisle layouts .

Importantly , the cooling arrangement enables high-grade heat to be captured for reuse in a local renewable energy scheme .

“ EcoDataCenter has embraced this innovative new technology as an earlyadopter , knowing that companies in the market will soon see the operational and environmental benefits and follow our lead ,” said Lars Schedin , CEO of EcoDataCenter . “ The integration of Iceotope , Schneider Electric and Avnet liquid cooling enables us to set groundbreaking , new industry standards for energy efficient , high-availability data centres . Together we are empowering customers to take action for a more sustainable future .”
