Above picture: Schematic illustrating the flexible nature of the new cooling technology, in which liquid cooled racks co-exist in the same data hall as air cooled racks; thus requiring little or no infrastructure changes and additional capital expenditure.
Researchers led by NUS Mechanical Engineering and CERT Director Associate Professor Lee Poh Seng have developed a high-efficiency hybrid cooling solution for ‘green’ data centres, achieving a near-ideal partial power usage effectiveness score. The team has now incorporated a company, CoolestDC Pte Ltd, to commercialise this technology.
