Introducing a Waterless Data Center Architecture for AI Factories

What do you get when you combine the best two-phase, direct-to-chip liquid cooling with world-leading energy-efficient air treatment and climate solutions? You get a waterless data center architecture for AI factories that brings an unprecedented reduction in OPEX, power consumption and energy usage. This is what Munters and ZutaCore have joined forces to provide, announcing today their collaboration to integrate their technologies to allow AI factories to sustainably cool the massive power densities being driven by AI accelerators.

Two Closed Loop Systems are Now One  

As part of their partnership, Munters has integrated the HyperCool closed-loop system at the server and rack level with the Munters closed-loop system that provides the ability to remove heat from the data center without a facility water loop. Leveraging a two-phase, liquid cooling process, this system features tanks of heat transfer fluid on the roof that are brought down on demand to cool the GPUs and CPUs. The heat is removed outside the facility or can be reused for other applications, such as heating adjacent facilities or harvesting energy for reuse and further reducing PUEs.

Designed to Cool 100s of Megawatts of AI Workloads

The ZutaCore/Munters combined system works seamlessly inside an AI factory, with Munter’s SyCool (N+1) rejecting the heat outside the data center (facility loop) and ZutaCore Hypercool^®, removing the heat away from the AI accelerators (technical loop) in highly efficient closed-loop systems that are easy to operate and offer the most optimized PUE and WUE factors for a sustainable, cost-efficient, high-performing AI data center. This system is capable of cooling 100s of megawatts of AI workloads.

Commenting on the partnership, Stefan Aspman, President of Business Area Data Center Technologies at Munters, said “Combining the advanced closed-loop systems of Munters and ZutaCore delivers an unmatched end-to-end solution, which is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of high-density, high-value environments.”
