We’ve talked about ways to reduce data center water consumption through non-evaporative and hybrid heat rejection. Even so, it is unlikely that data centers will abandon evaporative cooling altogether. It is too effective—and often too economical….

While many existing data centers use open cooling towers for heat rejection, most newly built centers are opting for less water-intensive strategies. Closed-loop systems (including heat rejection) are becoming increasingly common, especially in….

Heat rejection is the most consequential aspect of data center cooling design. Data centers are driven to optimize heat rejection to minimize, or even eliminate, their reliance on chillers. There is a wide range of both traditional and evolving solutions which we will explore as this series progresses. In this blog, we focus on heat-rejection via….
