Using Thermosyphon Hybrid Cooling System to Optimize Data Center Water Efficiency

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

Driven by a mission to push the leading edge for data center sustainability, NREL recognized the need to make its data center not just energy efficient, but water efficient, too. So, in 2016, NREL, with partners Johnson Controls and Sandia National Laboratories, deployed an innovative thermosyphon cooler (TSC) as a test bed on the roof of the NREL's Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF). In combination with existing evaporative towers, the TSC forms an extremely water-and cost-efficient hybrid cooling system.
