StatePoint Liquid Cooling system: A new, more efficient way to cool a data center

This post introduces the StatePoint Liquid Cooling (SPLC) system, a novel indirect evaporative cooling technology developed with Nortek Air Solutions. The SPLC system uses water to cool data hall air, operating in three modes (economizer, adiabatic, and super-evaporative) to optimize water and power consumption based on ambient conditions. It utilizes a membrane separation layer to prevent cross-contamination and is resilient to scale formation. The system reduces water usage by over 20% in hot/humid climates and nearly 90% in cooler climates compared to previous indirect cooling systems, and allows for data center construction in locations previously unsuitable for direct cooling. It also offers flexibility in cooling delivery systems and contributes to a lower Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
