Data Center Cooling and Water Conservation
Data centers produce large amounts of heat that require cooling solutions to maintain temperatures to optimize performance and profitability. AirJouleTM can convert waste heat from data center operations and convert it into distilled water that can be used to further improve data center cooling.
AirJouleTM can take low-grade waste heat from air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers to improve energetics and water production across a wide range of climate zones.
- Water vapor in the air is captured by the AirJouleTM system. AirJouleTM can effectively capture water vapor in conditions as low as 20% relative humidity.
- Dehumidified air is released as an output of the AirJouleTM device that can provide significant value for customers requiring energy efficient dehumidification.
- AirJouleTM redirects some of the heat created by data centers towards our atmospheric water capture chambers
- The residual heat is sent to rooftop chiller unit, but at a lower temperature than initially generated through data center processing. This lower thermal cooling demand reduces overall operational expenses to create value.
- Liquid water is released from the saturated sorbent via our patented thermal-pressure swing regeneration process. This water can be provided to evaporative cooling units to further improve energy efficiency of the data center cooling system.
- The return line brings the cooled coolant back to the data center to be used to provide cooling to the chips and servers.
Cooling Next-Generation Data Centers
AirJoule Selected as Winner of Net Zero Innovation Hub Competition and Invited to Collaborate with Google, Microsoft, and other Industry Leaders on Water-Sustainable Data Centers
AirJouleTM can enable a wide range of next generation data centers designed to improve water utilization:
Water Generating Data Centers
All heat from data centers can be used to drive a campus of AirJouleTM units capable of producing >10,000 gallons of water per hour to be used for local and regional water use.
Net-Zero Data Centers
AirJouleTM systems are balanced with high-efficiency water-based cooling systems to enable water use neutrality across wide variety of climate zones.
Water-Sustained Data Centers
In water scarce regions, AirJouleTM can be used to provide water for onsite operations (example: humidification or personnel needs) while maintaining water-free cooling systems.
