Challenge: Developing a comprehensive cooling solution for data centers using CO₂.
Rationale: New HPC/AI processors generate more heat than traditional cooling methods can handle.
Out of the feasible options, Icebox Energy’s CO₂ system stands out, offering a simplified, cost-effective approach with higher reliability and scalability compared to immersion cooling, impinged water jets, and refrigerant cold plates.
Emerging processors outpace current cooling capabilities, with data centers needing to address extreme heat density and growing power demands. Only four solutions are viable: immersion cooling and three cold plate technologies.
Immersion cooling, while energy-efficient, involves submerging servers in chemical vats, posing practicality and environmental issues. Thus, the focus shifts to cold plates.
Impinged water jet plates face challenges with water management and leak risks. Refrigerant cold plates, though using fewer chemicals, still bring safety, cost, and regulatory concerns.
Both water jet and refrigerant plates require complex systems, increasing risk and heat loss.
Icebox Energy’s CO₂ system operates in a single loop without excessive components, offering superior heat transfer, reduced size, and cost-efficiency by utilizing CO₂'s superior properties over traditional coolants.
This technology ensures support for all proposed coolant temperatures across climates, featuring the lowest power usage effectiveness (PUE), competitive pricing, and outstanding reliability.
