these days everybody in the data center
00:00:05.570 00:00:05.580 business wants to talk about energy
00:00:07.490 00:00:07.500 efficiency we hear all the time about
00:00:10.370 00:00:10.380 green internet and sustainable IT but
00:00:14.600 00:00:14.610 what do these buzzwords actually mean
00:00:17.439 00:00:17.449 it's all about PUA power usage
00:00:21.560 00:00:21.570 effectiveness the goal is to achieve a
00:00:24.740 00:00:24.750 PUA of 1.0 in other words to build a
00:00:29.240 00:00:29.250 data center where 100% of the energy
00:00:31.460 00:00:31.470 used goes towards powering the servers
00:00:34.340 00:00:34.350 themselves however as much as 40% of
00:00:38.540 00:00:38.550 today's data center energy consumption
00:00:40.760 00:00:40.770 goes towards cooling operations but the
00:00:44.150 00:00:44.160 solutions should be simple as more
00:00:46.490 00:00:46.500 efficient cooling systems equal more
00:00:48.500 00:00:48.510 sustainable data centers right while at
00:00:52.130 00:00:52.140 alpha love all we know there's still
00:00:54.229 00:00:54.239 quite a bit to consider when we talk
00:00:57.860 00:00:57.870 about server cooling most of us picture
00:01:00.500 00:01:00.510 crack crawe or in rack technology here
00:01:03.889 00:01:03.899 in the white space but when it comes to
00:01:08.570 00:01:08.580 minimizing your energy consumption an
00:01:10.429 00:01:10.439 environmental impact we can't just focus
00:01:13.190 00:01:13.200 on the white space we also need to look
00:01:16.190 00:01:16.200 here in the utility area on the system
00:01:18.950 00:01:18.960 that supplies cooling media to the white
00:01:20.990 00:01:21.000 space relying solely on chillers for
00:01:24.770 00:01:24.780 this system as many do today wastes
00:01:27.710 00:01:27.720 incredible amounts of energy and greatly
00:01:30.050 00:01:30.060 increases your operational costs
00:01:33.460 00:01:33.470 fortunately the key to making these
00:01:35.870 00:01:35.880 systems more sustainable already exists
00:01:38.980 00:01:38.990 advanced plate heat exchanger technology
00:01:41.870 00:01:41.880 if properly designed installed operated
00:01:46.010 00:01:46.020 and maintained plate heat exchangers
00:01:48.440 00:01:48.450 support highly reliable and highly
00:01:50.899 00:01:50.909 efficient cooling with a long service
00:01:52.940 00:01:52.950 life shrinking both your environmental
00:01:55.249 00:01:55.259 footprint and your bills
00:01:58.080 00:01:58.090 that's because the right heat exchanger
00:02:00.670 00:02:00.680 can help you to maximize the potential
00:02:02.709 00:02:02.719 of free cooling in your facility for
00:02:05.010 00:02:05.020 example with water with the right total
00:02:08.619 00:02:08.629 system design a heat exchanger will
00:02:11.170 00:02:11.180 enable you to take advantage of cool
00:02:12.759 00:02:12.769 water from any nearby river lake or sea
00:02:15.699 00:02:15.709 while minimizing the risk of fouling
00:02:17.890 00:02:17.900 your equipment or it's possible to use
00:02:21.490 00:02:21.500 the heat exchanger to protect the crack
00:02:23.500 00:02:23.510 and cross from cooling tower water which
00:02:26.080 00:02:26.090 may not be as clean as required
00:02:28.440 00:02:28.450 [Music]
00:02:30.270 00:02:30.280 similarly you can also design a system
00:02:32.920 00:02:32.930 that makes it possible to achieve
00:02:34.630 00:02:34.640 efficient free cooling with air this can
00:02:38.259 00:02:38.269 be enabled through heat exchangers which
00:02:40.000 00:02:40.010 bypass the chiller when the outside
00:02:42.009 00:02:42.019 temperature is favorably low however
00:02:47.130 00:02:47.140 sustainability is not just about the
00:02:49.180 00:02:49.190 energy you save heat generated by
00:02:51.850 00:02:51.860 servers will continue to increase
00:02:53.589 00:02:53.599 exponentially along with computing power
00:02:56.190 00:02:56.200 if we focus on only cooling the server's
00:02:59.319 00:02:59.329 we miss out on a tremendous potential to
00:03:02.140 00:03:02.150 reuse the energy as well systems based
00:03:05.349 00:03:05.359 on modern plate heat exchangers like
00:03:07.539 00:03:07.549 those supplied by Alfa Laval can even
00:03:10.180 00:03:10.190 allow you to capture the energy escaping
00:03:12.220 00:03:12.230 from your data center and put it to good
00:03:14.349 00:03:14.359 use low temperature waste heat when run
00:03:19.509 00:03:19.519 through a heat pump will be warm enough
00:03:21.550 00:03:21.560 to heat anything from the city around
00:03:23.470 00:03:23.480 you to things on a smaller scale like a
00:03:26.500 00:03:26.510 greenhouse a fish farm or your very own
00:03:29.770 00:03:29.780 offices as data center demands continue
00:03:33.729 00:03:33.739 to evolve the right utility cooling
00:03:36.129 00:03:36.139 system with efficient plate heat
00:03:38.080 00:03:38.090 exchangers at the core can help you meet
00:03:40.539 00:03:40.549 tomorrow's challenges alpha levels next

00:03:46.629 00:03:46.639 perfect for the new liquid cooling
00:03:48.640 00:03:48.650 systems like submersion immersion and
00:03:51.009 00:03:51.019 cold plate which will be necessary as
00:03:53.890 00:03:53.900 increasingly powerful servers are
