Technology
The data center industry is growing by 12% each year. The demand for higher efficiency and higher density but lower power consumption is also growing. In order for the industry to meet such demands, new solutions and technological advancements must be realized. Iceotope has developed a patented approach to dramatically reduce power consumption by tackling the problem of liquid cooling servers in data centers from the source of the heat, at the component level, to its final destination.
Liquid cooling has actually been around for decades. From running liquid through “cold blocks” to submerging whole servers in dielectric coolant, the industry has been adapting some form of liquid cooling for some time now. Iceotope’s Technology utilizes some of the same principles of previous approaches to liquid cooling, but it is taken to the next generation. The next generation is heat pipe encapsulation of electronics within an ultra-convective coolant.
The next generation is the Iceotope Platform.
The Iceotope Platform uses 3M Novec, an inert and environmentally sound coolant with excellent thermal properties. The electronics are submerged in the coolant and contained inside sealed cartridges (or Iceotope Modules). Our technology uniquely uses the waste heat from the processors to passively pump the 3M Novec coolant throughout the system, thus removing the need for fans and airflow. The Iceotope Platform then transfers this heat to a managed heat exchanger which interfaces with a building level water circuit compliant with ASHRAE water standards.
The Iceotope Platform complies with ASHRAE water standards for year round free cooling in any climate and even supports heat recovery through warm water input and hot water output.
