Efficiency in Data Center Cooling

Data centers are increasingly focused on reducing energy consumption, particularly in cooling systems, which can account for about 40% of total energy use. Traditional air cooling methods are becoming less viable due to their inefficiency in heat transfer, prompting companies to explore alternatives such as liquid cooling. Startup Nexalus presents an innovative solution with its hot water liquid cooling approach, which utilizes a method termed direct-to-liquid cooling that efficiently directs coolant to the hottest spots on processors. This system not only enhances cooling efficiency but also allows for the integration of excess heat into other industries, showcasing a dual benefit for data centers and surrounding businesses.
