Document Description
Through this demonstration project, Asetek USA, Inc. will validate the performance, reliability, cost savings and payback of the Rack CDU, a liquid cooling technology that could cut data center energy use and be easily retrofitted with minimal operational disruptions during installation. The technology will be demonstrated at two full-scale data centers: San Diego Supercomputer center (SDSC) in La Jolla and lawrence Livermore Computer Center in Livermore. At SDSC, install plumbing from racks to a dry cooler installed outside the building, on the roof. At LLNL, install plumbing from racks to a hybrid adiabatic/dry cooler outside the building, on an existing cement pad.
