• Water cooled without water entering the
datacenters.
If all the existing datacenters in India
(data based on Gartner
information) were to convert to water cooled heat exchangers,
the 30 percent cost
savings on power alone could translate into savings of more
than Rs. 1400 Crores by
2012.
CtrlS uses an innovative and energy efficient water
cooling solution which
provides the energy savings of water cooling without letting
any water inside our
green datacenters.
The urgent need for alternative cooling
technology is driving
organizations to experiment with various solutions. CtrlS has
come up with a
water-based cooling system to solve cooling efficiency issues
at their Rated 4
datacenter in Hyderabad. The system was wholly designed in
India in collaboration
with an overseas HVAC partner. CtrlS, is all set to completely
replace the
air-cooled system at its datacenter. The new water-based
solution uses water heat
exchangers, where condensation actually happens. The cooled
air is then pushed into
the datacenter through indoor units. The water used for
cooling never actually
enters the datacenter, increasing the safety of our clients
hardware and data and
ensuring peace of mind along with lower power bills.
Reducing energy costs in power hungry
datacenters has formed an
important part of CtrlS's green initiatives. Over the last
five years, costs have
gone up by 36 percent from Rs. 3.65 per unit to Rs. 5 per
unit. The Hyderabad
datacenter was generating considerable heat, which had to be
eliminated. In CtrlS'
new solution, the water-cooled condensers units are placed
outdoors and water does
not enter the datacenter at any point of time. This takes care
of the general
reluctance to have water flowing close to racks of electronic
equipment, where
leakage can lead to massive damage. The condensers are however
placed near the
indoor units for maximum cooling efficiency. Water is pumped
from cooling towers,
and a piping mechanism takes it to the condenser and back. The
water condenser coil
offers better condensation compared to air condensers, given
the heat-carrying
properties of water, and this results in more efficient
cooling.
