TECHNICAL
Datacentre managers may be concerned about downtime during installation. Proper planning and phased integration can minimise this risk. It’s important to enable comprehensive planning support for retrofitting existing datacentres, including fluid management services and remote monitoring systems. Datacentre Full New Build Building a new datacentre provides the perfect opportunity to integrate immersion cooling from the ground up. This approach to datacentre cooling results in massive savings in energy costs, space utilisation, and future-proofing for high- performance workloads. How to Proceed Design for immersion from day 1: Planning a facility around immersion cooling allows datacentre managers to maximise density, reduce physical space requirements, and optimise energy use. Heat reuse integration: With a new build, datacentres can take full advantage of immersion cooling’s heat reuse potential. The captured heat can be repurposed for external applications such as district heating or industrial processes. While immersion cooling offers long-term energy savings, the initial infrastructure investment may be higher than traditional cooling systems. Managers need to clearly understand the cost-benefit curve over time. Asperitas partners with new build projects to provide full immersion cooling design, implementation and maintenance support. This ensures that datacentres are not only optimised for today’s workloads but are scalable for future demands. Conclusion Immersion cooling offers significant advantages over traditional cooling systems, especially as industry trends point toward higher densities and energy efficiency. For datacentres, the path to adoption can be phased based on organisational needs, from small-scale pilots to full facility integrations. It’s important to choose a vendor that caters to each phase of this adoption journey, ensuring a smooth transition and clear support across planning, implementation, and operational management.
