DATA CENTER

COOLING

Data centers are the brains of companies and organizations. They share vital information and run critical processes in a controlled and secured environment.

Since the first data center – ENIAC (electronic numerical integrator and computer – was built in the US in 1946, the industry has undergone a series of developments and innovations. Now, with more and more businesses working on online platforms and the growth of smartphones and other devices, the industry is adapting to the needs of an increasingly connected world population.

Cooling systems are essential for maintaining the optimum environment to keep data centers running effectively.

With global power consumption set to achieve double-digit growth of 18.8% by 2025, there is an increasing trend towards more energy efficient cooling solutions.

At the same time, data centers face the challenge of matching the capabilities of a fast-growing cloud storage service.

GLOBAL POWER CONSUMPTION
OF DATA CENTERS

Currently Data Center power consumption is 2% of the total power generation worldwide
and it is estimated to go up to 8 % by 2030.

The growth in consumer traffic and need for higher data storage as well as big data growth are main drivers for increased energy consumption. Therefore it is imperative that data centers look for alternatives in helping them reduce their overall power consumption and at the same time find and develop sustainable cooling solutions
