Data Centers and Crypto mining– What You Need to Know

The landscape for data centers and Crypto mining operations has exponentially evolved in recent years. New Federal standards have forced older facilities to go dormant and new data centers to follow stringent rules that could hamper their ability to mine Cryptocurrency. So what are data centers, and how are they connected to crypto mining?  

The technology involved in Cryptocurrency has some inherent risks that can take advantage of a local power grid or force the population to have problems getting clean water. But innovative companies like TMGcore provide next-generation solutions that address the challenges of Crypto mining in modern data centers. Read on and learn everything you need about Data Centers and Crypto mining.  

Crypto Mining in Data Centers: How It Works  

Data centers house all the computational and environmental equipment a company needs. You have seen them before; they are large buildings filled with racks of servers and other complicated devices that manage a Crypto farm’s enormous processing power. In addition, these facilities have a massive carbon footprint directly contributing to global climate change.  

Mining Cryptocurrency Depends on the Currency  

Proof of Work or Proof of Stake will determine what kind of currency you are mining. Each type has different methods that will change how it is mined. Once you know how mining works, you start understanding the power and resources required to make it happen.  

The two different types of Crypto mining are as follows:  

  • Proof of Work – Bitcoin uses the Proof of Work style of creation. For users to trade Bitcoin, they each have a portion of a problem and will have to rely on one another to ensure that the coins are genuine. When mining, people have to solve more complex problems, as Bitcoins are so few in number.  
  • Proof of Stake – This mining style requires that you have money placed on the currency, like Ethereum, and wait for your money to mature into Crypto. The downside is if you leave your place in ‘line,’ you could lose your initial investment and be forced to go to the back of the line.  

While the two styles of mining are different, they still operate with the same Datacenter and Crypto mining setups. Both require massive commitments from their power and utility grids while having significant adverse environmental effects. That is unless you know something about sustainability and a new technology called data center immersion cooling.  

Mining Rigs and Data Centers Need Constant Cooling  

One of the government’s most significant mandates forces Datacenters and Mining operations to curb the amount of utilities they use. These centers must use extreme amounts of power to mine data; when you generate the power, you can expect tons of heat to be produced. But they don’t stop there. Energy is just one of the things that Datacenters use in spades.  

A few things that Datacenters and Crypto core mining need to function are as follows:  

  • Power Source – An essential part of any data center solutions is the power. To complete the massive problems of mining Bitcoin, you must have serious computing power for rigs to mine efficiently without degrading quality or overheating.  
  • Cooling Technology – Another key component required for Datacenters and Crypto mining operations is an efficient cooling system. Traditional cooling methods such as air, water, adiabatic, or evaporative cooling technologies are no longer fit to handle the heat generated by mining rigs and servers.   
  • Space – Another big thing that Datacenters and Mining operations need is tons of space. Air and water cooling systems take up a large amount of real estate, reducing the amount of cores and rigs available in facilities, while increasing energy usage.  

The power, cooling, and space needed to prop up a Crypto mining facility, paired with burdensome regulations from the government, could mean with swift downfall of your Crypto mining operation. However, there are Datacenter solutions that keep your Crypto coming in and your power and water bills at a manageable level.  

TMGcore is an Industry Leader in Immersion Cooling  

One of the coolest technologies on the planet is called liquid immersion cooling. TMGcore, the Home of Immersion, develops cutting-edge high-performance solutions designed with liquid immersion cooling technology. By drastically lowering the energy usage required for modern data centers, you can future-proof your Crypo mining operation, reduce your carbon footprint, deploy more cores, and cut down operational costs by up to 70%.  

How immersion cooling works to offset power and costs are as follows:  

  • Less Energy – Liquid immersion cooling systems are self-contained, submerging components in dielectric fluid. The fluid is reused and cycled through a proprietary distribution design eliminating energy and water waste.  
  • Stable Power – With efficient cooling, hardware components can function at peak capacity without the risk of overheating and damage to equipment. Power stability means companies can keep an accurate count of their usage and flag any overages that might violate government orders.  

Liquid immersion cooling for data centers paves the way for the future of Crypto mining. Revolutionary HPC solutions from TMGcore address all the challenges regarding energy efficiency, sustainability, performance capability, and government oversight, and while improving your bottom line.

What Happens if a Data Center Overheats?

Data-Center-Overheats

What Happens if a Data Center Overheats?

Data centers are an important part of our lives. We rely on them to store and process the data that is essential for our businesses and personal lives, like emails, e-commerce transactions, and more. One of the most potentially devastating risks these facilities face is their hardware and other equipment overheating. Every once in a while, this possibility becomes a reality for an unfortunate data center, and it’s important to know what this means for them. What happens if a data center overheats? 

Overheating in data centers exposes vital hardware and relevant equipment to temperatures they are not designed to withstand. This could cause component damage, server malfunctions, and even system failures, which is why preventative measures and cooling methods are crucial in these facilities. 

In this article, we will discuss the consequences of a data center overheating in more detail as well as potential causes for this issue. As you read, you will also learn what solutions data centers implement to remedy and/or prevent their hardware and equipment from overheating. 

Effects of Overheating in Data Centers 

Sometimes, the best way to ensure individuals who manage and run a data center implement all the safety and preventative measures necessary regarding overheating is by detailing the gravity of its effects should this happen in their facility.  

Simply put, overheating can be devastating in a data center, resulting in: 

  • The inability of relevant parties to access associated services (ex. social media, Cloud data, computational loss, etc.) 
  • Component damage that requires repairs or replacement 
  • E-waste and sustainability issues 
  • Complete system failures or meltdowns that render the hardware vulnerable 
  • Ignition of graphics cards and other parts 
  • Loss of data 
  • Loss in uptime and productivity 
  • Reduction in consumer trust 

If a data center is lucky, its overheated hardware will simply shut down to protect itself and then reboot once temperatures have reached a safe level again. However, even the briefest outage will be a significant inconvenience for anyone who utilizes services supported by your data center’s hardware. 

This could have profound consequences regarding a data center’s public relations, which demonstrates how the effects of overheating aren’t just limited to the facility’s equipment, but its reputation and reliability.  

It’s also important that in the worst-case scenario, a data center’s hardware overheating could cause its components to ignite, which poses a serious safety risk to employees and anyone else in the facility. So, it is in the best interest of everyone to do whatever it takes to prevent this from occurring in the first place. 

What Causes Overheating in Data Centers? 

The first step in preventing data centers from overheating (apart from understanding the effects of this issue) is ultimately what causes it.  

While this will differ between data centers, the most common causes of hardware overheating include: 

  • Presence of data center hotspots/high ambient temperatures 
  • Hardware is installed too closely together for sufficient cooling 
  • Hardware is stored in a room measuring higher than the recommended temperature 
  • High power consumption increases heat generation beyond levels that implemented cooling systems can manage 
  • Poorly maintained cooling systems 
  • Lack of temperature monitoring systems 

You’ll often find that any data center experiencing a case of overheating fulfills the criteria of more than one bullet listed above. Without the proper cooling methods paired with preventative measures like regular maintenance and temperature monitoring systems, any data center is susceptible to an overheating incident.  

Data Center Solutions for Overheating 

There are a few data center solutions for overheating that can help mitigate the risk of equipment damage, data loss, and performance issues. 

As we mentioned previously, the predominant solutions are the use of an effective cooling system, regular maintenance, and implementation of temperature monitoring systems. 

In addition to these, it is wise for data centers to ensure their hardware is installed the proper distance from one another according to its cooling method’s capabilities and kept in a room that does not exceed 82 degrees Fahrenheit (the ideal temperature for most data centers is anywhere between 68 to 71 degrees Fahrenheit).  

These measures will help reduce the workload of your cooling systems, ensuring that they keep your data center hardware cool and do not wear out prematurely. 

That being said, let’s discuss the other solutions in more detail so you know what systems are most efficient to use in a data center and what your data center might be missing that increases its risk of overheating.  

Effective Cooling System 

Preventing data centers from overheating really comes down to the cooling method the facility has in place. 

Most data centers will use one of two methods: air cooling through powerful air conditioners or water cooling through a water coil system. While these are viable options, they are no longer the most efficient way to cool a data center. 

If you want to reduce the risk of overheating in your data center as much as possible, the best cooling method you’ll want to utilize is 2-phase immersion cooling. This process keeps data center hardware cool by immersing it in a dielectric (non-conductive) fluid that is carefully engineered to have a boiling point below the temperature of heat emitted by these components.  

Once the dielectric fluid reaches its boiling point, it rejects heat by turning it into a vapor gas that then comes into contact with a specially designed vapor-to-liquid heat exchanger located on the top of the tank. The inclusion of this exchanger eliminates the need for a secondary heat exchanger and pumping system. 

The result is the most energy-efficient cooling method currently in existence for data centers that has a heat rejection capacity twenty times that of the standard air-conditioning system found in countless facilities.  

Regular Maintenance 

As with any system, regular maintenance is key to keeping a data center’s cooling system running at peak efficiency.  

Data center managers, or professional hired by the company, should regularly inspect and clean all cooling system components, regardless of the method they have in place. While some require less maintenance than others, they should not be left unchecked for extended periods. 

By keeping the system clean and well-maintained, data center managers can avoid many of the issues that can lead to an overheated data center. 

Additionally, data center hardware should also be regularly maintained, both digitally (ex. software updates) as well as physically (ex. cleaning and repairing fans or other components). 

Temperature Monitoring Systems 

Most modern cooling systems found in data centers, especially two-phase immersion cooling technology, are exceptional at maintaining a safe temperature for its hardware. That being said, it isn’t safe or wise to assume the system is operating as it should at all times. This is why it is essential to have temperature monitoring systems implemented throughout the facility.  

There are various types of temperature monitoring systems available on the market, but they typically utilize sensors to constantly check the air temperature and humidity levels in the data center. If these readings surpass a certain threshold, an alert is sent to data center staff so they can take action. 

It’s understandably tempting to just use the high-performance automatic temperature monitoring systems, but while these systems have numerous advantages, they should be supplemented with manual temperature monitoring systems as well. These are useful when a backup system is necessary and as a form of validation that the automatic system is operating properly.  

Final Thoughts 

The transference of heat away from processors remains one of the most critical challenges of modern computing technology. Various approaches have been employed to push against this “heat limit” as it persists as a principal barrier to better and faster processing technologies that are otherwise prepared to realize greater potential. 

Overheating is a significant concern in data centers due to the devastation it can cause the facility’s hardware, reputation, and more. Thankfully, as long as a data center implements the preventative measures discussed here, they should be at minimal risk of experiencing overheating.

Data Center Power Failure: What Happens When the Lights Go Out

In the modern business world, maintaining a connection to computer services at all times is critical to your success. Losing power in data centers can result in downtime, loss of business, added costs, and a world of stress for IT managers trying to figure out why and how to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the impact of data center power failures, how they affect the electrical infrastructure of data centers, their main causes, and how to prepare for and prevent data center power outages.

What Happens to a Data Center During a Power Outage?

When the power goes out in a data center, unplanned downtime occurs. This can leave you vulnerable to loss of business and customer data, hacking, and overheating of data center electrical infrastructure. It’s important to consider the impact on consumers and remote workers as well. The third Annual Outage Analysis conducted by the Uptime Institute notes that although improvements in technology and availability have been made, outages remain a persistent concern for major industries and customers. The report shows that the overall impact and costs (both direct and indirect) of outages continue to grow. The most significant outage from the past three years was estimated to cost around $100,000 for half of the respondents surveyed and $1 million for one-third of respondents. In the past, data centers were just for your IT infrastructure.

Most Common Sources of Power Failure in Data Centers

  • UPS failure: uninterrupted power supply failure is perhaps the most common and problematic source of data center downtime. The UPS system is supposed to ensure uptime if the main power source goes offline; when it breaks, it’s like popping your car tire only to find that your spare has a hole, too.
  • Human error: according to Uptime’s data center survey, respondents reported that 42% of data center outages in the last three years were caused by human error. Among these, 57% were attributed to data center staff execution or failure to follow standard procedure. 44% cited incorrect staff processes and procedures as the main causes.
  • Cooling system failure: this refers to a malfunction or performance interruption in the cooling of data center servers. The number of outages due to cooling system failures has decreased, but the cost of such outages has increased significantly. Increasing data center capacity and heat generation has made cooling system failure a formidable threat.

How Do I Prevent & Prepare for Power Outages?

While power outages caused by environmental factors may be inevitable, there are steps IT managers should take to prepare for and prevent power outages

caused by USP failure, human error, and cooling system failures. Severe outages are less common but have devastating effects when they do occur. Vigilance and investment are vital. Without proper power backups in place, your system will lack the resilience needed to stay competitive. Resilience remains one of the top management priorities when delivering digital services.

  • UPS failure: Ensure that the UPS isn’t treated as a secondary component or afterthought. Since it’s a secondary source of power, it’s often located out of sight toward the back of data center facilities. The UPS storage room must be treated like any other part of the data center and that includes maintaining optimal climate conditions. Operators must monitor the UPS and support power management infrastructure in real-time.
  • Human error: given these percentages listed above, it’s clear that a stronger focus on management and proactive training will produce better performance in service delivery.
  • Cooling system failure: it’s important to plan for higher cooling capacity or more effective means of cooling so that the heat load can be adequately handled. During a power failure, the reserve capacity of cooling systems can maintain the temperature of the data center until the power comes back on or the UPS kicks in. Employing innovations in cooling technology, like two-phase liquid immersion cooling solutions from TMGcore, prevents overheating and damage to equipment in the event of a power failure.

Why TMGcore?

The Best Way to Reduce Water Waste: Immersion Cooling

The Best Way to Reduce Water Waste: Immersion Cooling

Society is becoming increasingly aware that the world is running out of fresh water. In fact, the World Economic Forum predicts that “the gap between global water supply and demand is projected to reach 40% by 2030.” That is if significant changes aren’t made. One way that influential businesses like data centers can help is by reducing their water waste, and the innovative solution of immersion cooling can help them do just that. 

Immersion cooling is a method of cooling electronic components by submerging them in a dielectric fluid. Heat is transferred from the components to the fluid, effectively eliminating the need for other cooling methods. The result is environmental and economic benefits data centers should consider. 

In this article, we will discuss the issue of excessive water waste in data centers and how the implementation of immersion cooling technology can help to significantly reduce both their water use and waste. As you read, you will learn the relevance of this issue, how immersion cooling works, and how it is more advantageous than current cooling methods found in most data centers.   

Average Water Consumption and Waste In Data Centers 

Before we dive into immersion cooling technology, it’s important we discuss the overarching issue and why this alternative cooling method is a necessary step to solving it.  

Water is a natural resource that many people take for granted and assume will always be available, whether this is through cost-free methods, like their home plumbing system, or for purchase in stores. Unfortunately, research has shown that this resource will become scarcer as the world’s population grows, climate and environmental issues worsen, and the demand for companies like data centers increases.  

Research conducted in 2015 discovered that one 15MW data center consumed an estimated 130 million liters of water per year. This water is used directly for cooling and indirectly through the water requirements of non-renewable electricity generation.  

On a national scale, the combined water consumption of data centers is an estimated 1.7 billion liters per day. This might seem small compared to the 1218 billion liters of water consumed per day in the United States overall, but there is no denying the figure’s significance.  

It is also worth mentioning that less than a third of American data centers are not fully transparent in measuring and providing their water consumption figures, so the aforementioned statistic of 1.7 billion liters per day is likely smaller than the actual number.  

Current Cooling Methods Used in Data Centers 

Understanding these figures on data center water consumption comes with understanding what cooling methods most currently use for their electrical components. 

Air Cooling 

The most popular way to cool electrical equipment and components in data centers today is through air cooling, which utilizes large air conditioning units or fans to move chilled air around the equipment and cool them. A small 1 MW data center using this method of cooling uses an estimated 25.5 million liters of water per year 

This method has many inefficiencies, starting with its extremely high electrical need to function properly. It is estimated that up to 40% of a data center’s monthly electricity consumption goes directly to cooling its components, which is a separate environmental issue entirely since the power plants that provide this energy source emits a significant amount of CO2 and H2O. Unfortunately, despite the high demands of this cooling method, it often fails at sufficiently cooling equipment, leading to overheating and potential damage.  

Adiabatic and Evaporative Cooling 

Additional cooling methods used by data centers are adiabatic and evaporative cooling. Adiabatic cooling involves reducing heat through a change in air pressure by volume expansion. Adiabatic processes enable free cooling methods which use natural phenomena to regulate temperatures. Evaporative cooling utilizes chillers with cooling towers to cool water before circulating it into data centers. While both cooling methods do not rely on fans or air conditioning units, they consume the maximum water in data centers. 

Water Cooling 

This is why many data centers opted for a popular alternative of pumping chilled water through cooling coils surrounding the data center racks. As you can imagine, this too requires a significant amount of water to function, but the benefit of this cooling method is that it revealed that utilizing water to remove heat is much more efficient than mechanical air conditioning. This set the groundwork for liquid immersion cooling.   

What Is Liquid Immersion Cooling and How Does it Reduce Water Waste? 

The idea of fully submerging hardware in a liquid was understandably met with skepticism, but immersion cooling not only proved that it can be done safely, but that it can also outperform other widely used cooling methods.  

Immersion cooling is more energy-efficient, faster, and reliable than air conditioning units or water coils, despite appearing to use more water than both combined. How? The answer lies in the cooling process itself.  

With liquid immersion cooling, all of the heat generated by the electrical components is transferred directly, not to water, but to an engineered fluid (a dielectric/non-conductive liquid such as 3M™ Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquids or 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids), which can be recycled and reused. There is no need to continually pump in fresh water, as with water coils, nor is there any evaporation or condensation, as with air conditioning units. 

In fact, the only water that is actually consumed by liquid immersion cooling is what is lost to evaporation. This amounts to less than 1% of the total water used in traditional cooling methods, making it a much more sustainable option. The technology also requires significantly less energy to operate, effectively reducing the data center’s consumption in this regard as well.  

While immersion cooling in itself is highly beneficial, there are two implementation methods: single-phase immersion and two-phase immersion. Each has its unique design and advantages that can benefit any data center. 

Single-Phase Immersion Cooling  

Single-phase immersion cooling works by placing the data center’s hardware in an enclosure, chassis, or tank and then immersing it in dielectric synthetic hydrocarbon oils. Any heat emitted by the hardware is directly absorbed by the oil and then pumped and circulated throughout the space.  

To effectively remove the heat and keep the oil cool around the hardware, any hot oil is pumped out by a secondary air-to-liquid or liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger while cool oil is pumped into the space. 

Two-Phase Immersion Cooling  

Two-phase immersion cooling works very similarly to single-phase cooling immersion but takes the process a step further using a fluid that is carefully engineered to have a boiling point that is below the temperature of heat emitted by common components of data center hardware.  

This allows the fluid to reject heat by turning into a vapor gas that then comes into contact with a specially designed vapor-to-liquid heat exchanger located on the top of the tank. The inclusion of this exchanger eliminates the need for a secondary heat exchanger and pumping system. 

The overarching benefits of immersion cooling versus air cooling include: 

  • Most energy efficient cooling method currently in existence 
  • An estimate ten to twentyfold increase in heat rejection capacity  
  • Reduced CAPEX 
  • Soundless system 
  • Requires less installation and operation space 
  • Improved TCO 
  • Waste heat can be reused 
  • Dielectric fluids are cleaner and reduce maintenance needs and system complexity. 
  • Quick installation and easy deployment 
  • Reduces or eliminates the need for water (apart from heat rejection) 

Between the two cooling immersion methods, 2-phase is undoubtedly the superior choice and will likely become a key influence in the future of data centers. 

Final Thoughts 

Two-Phase Liquid Immersion Technology is gaining traction in today’s market as a means of combatting compounding data center concerns related to energy and resource consumption. Nowhere are such issues perhaps better revealed than in the current contentious debate about water usage requirements for data center facilities in draught-stricken western states.

Data Center Cooling Systems & How They Work

As data center usage continues to grow, the need for more efficient and sustainable cooling solutions becomes increasingly important. In this blog, we will explore how data center cooling works and discuss some of the latest cooling technologies that are being used today. We will also take a look at the environmental impact of data center cooling systems and explore some of the top methods for reducing energy consumption in data centers.

Why is Data Center Cooling Important?

The vast network of servers and computing resources stored in data centers are the backbone of every digital service. They deliver the performance and availability needed for business operations and are responsible for performing search queries, transferring data, and delivering computing services to millions of users at a given moment across the globe. If you consider how much power and heat are generated by millions of users at any given moment across the globe, it’s clear that data center cooling is integral to empowering the digital world. Failing to implement effective methods can lead to overheating, which degrades the performance capabilities and lifespan of computing equipment and servers.

How Does Data Center Cooling Work?

Data center cooling works by removing excess heat in the air and replacing it with cooler air. Cooling systems control the temperature inside data centers to reduce heat and manage airflow. They regulate parameters, such as temperatures, cooling performance, energy consumption, and cooling fluid properties to name a few, in guiding the flow of heat and cooling to achieve optimum efficiency.

Data Center Cooling Methods

The two main types of data center cooling technologies consist of air cooling and liquid cooling. Below, we’ll outline how these systems work and their features.

Air Cooling

Data centers have been using this cooling method since their inception and continue to use it extensively. The basic concept involves cold air being circulated or blown across the hardware, dispersing the heat by exchanging the warmer air with cooler air. Air cooling technologies have evolved throughout the years, but the principle remains the same. The key difference between air cooling systems is how airflow is controlled. Some air-cooling technologies include raised floor platforms, cold/hot aisle containment, and temperature/humidity control. While this method is more widely used, it presents significant challenges in terms of cost-efficiency, computing performance, and environmental impact as data center usage continues to grow.

Two-Phase Liquid Immersion Cooling

This relatively newer method involves transferring heat generated by server chips into dielectric fluid that is constantly cooled and recirculated. Servers are immersed in an engineered fluorocarbon-based liquid. When the chips in the servers generate heat, the heat turns the fluid to vapor. The vapor then rises in the tank, carrying the heat to the top where the condenser coils are located. The condenser coils cool the gas, condensing it back into a chilled liquid state, and the cycle begins anew. This is a more efficient means of data center cooling and can support larger equipment densities as well as equipment that generates higher-than-average heat, like high-density and edge computing. It’s also more cost-effective than traditional air-cooling systems and uses less energy.

Environmental Impact of Data Center Cooling

Our digital world is responsible for 2.3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for roughly 2% of the world’s electricity consumption and 0.5% of CO2 emissions. Within data centers themselves, 50% of all power used is spent on cooling systems. These statistics will only increase, presenting a significant challenge to the pressing issue of sustainability. As a global collective, technology companies must actively work to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. When data centers are cooled quickly and efficiently, servers can run at peak performance. Proper cooling also preserves the lifespan of technology, reducing the need for frequent replacement due to overheating malfunctions.

The Future of Data Center Cooling

Effective and sustainable data center cooling solutions are the key to the growth and maintenance of our digital world. While there are a wide range of ways to cool data centers, two-phase immersion cooling presents a solution to many challenges that still face the industry. TMGcore, the home of immersion computing, offers off-the-shelf and customized solutions that require less electricity and can reduce your carbon footprint. Are you ready for immersion cooling?

Why Data Centers Aren’t as Green as You Think

Data centers have a reputation for being environmentally unfriendly. But this reality isn’t the only way forward. In fact, many data centers are implementing green practices that make them more sustainable and reduce their environmental impact. However, some data centers are still not as green as they should be. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at why data centers aren’t as green as you think and explore some of the best ways to make them more sustainable.

Data Center Cooling

When data centers are cooling their racks, many of them use outdated technology that is not as efficient as it could be. For example, data centers typically use a lot of variable-speed AC fans and other systems to cool their racks. However, these fans can use a lot of energy and generate a lot of noise.

Hot and Cold Aisles

Today, data centers utilize standard data center cooling methods of hot and cold aisle airflow management. By having these two types of aisles, the data center can regulate the temperature more efficiently. The hot aisle is where the servers give off heat, and air conditioners cool the cold aisle. When these two areas are not properly segregated, it can lead to inefficiencies in cooling.

Best practices for most data centers are outdated, like using cold aisle data center airflow containment. These practices can create a massive amount of energy waste and they are not sustainable practices for the future.

Data Centers and Sustainability

With data centers being more important than ever to our daily lives, it is crucial that they are as sustainable as possible. Data centers currently use 2% of the world’s electricity. This is likely to continue to grow as we become more reliant on the use of data centers. It is estimated that 30-50% of the energy data centers use goes towards cooling the racks. This means that by improving the cooling efficiency of data centers, we can make a significant dent in their overall energy consumption. One way to do this is through immersion cooling.

Immersion Cooling for Data Centers

Immersion cooling is a method of cooling electronic equipment using specially developed fluids. TMGcore has developed single-phase and 2-phase immersion cooling technology to help data centers make their systems more green and spend less on energy costs. TMGcore’s systems use dielectric fluids that are non-conductive and environmentally friendly. These fluids surround the servers and draw the heat away from them, providing more efficient cooling.

This technology can be used in a number of ways to make data centers even more sustainable. The future of immersion cooling is sustainable and could benefit local communities.

Immersion Cooling and Heat Re-Use

The future of data center best practices, when including single-phase and 2-phase immersion cooling, looks even more promising when we look at reusing the heat created. The heat could be used for several things like heating water at a corporate campus or creating a heating loop for a municipal district. TMGcore is committed to helping create more sustainable data centers and will continue to lead the way in this industry.

By using practices like immersion cooling, data centers can significantly reduce their environmental impact while also saving money.
