DESIGN & BUILD with secure data erasure and provision of compliant documentation to Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment( WEEE) standards.”
Future-proofing through sustainable design Another opportunity for data centres to be more environmentally conscious is through the use of immersion cooling, where electric components are submerged in a dielectric fluid to better dissipate heat.
“ This technology significantly reduces dependency on conventional cooling resources, allowing for more efficient temperature control with minimal water usage,” Chris explains.“ Unlike air-based cooling systems, immersion cooling can handle the high-density loads of AI workloads without consuming excessive energy or taking up valuable space.”
This approach to cooling represents a significant departure from traditional methods. Instead of relying on traditional air cooling to cool servers, immersion cooling uses a special dielectric fluid that has 1,200 times the heat removal capacity of air.
“ This allows it to effectively manage the extreme heat generated by today’ s high-performance servers,” Chris says.“ But this technology isn’ t just about keeping things cool, as it also offers substantial energy savings and environmental benefits. By eliminating the need for air conditioning units, immersion cooling can slash energy consumption by up to 90 % compared to traditional air-conditioning.”
