jetcoola startup born in the MIT Lincoln Laboratories, has developed a refrigeration technology which can get you data centers have servers and high-performance computing equipment that thave lower power consumptionand therefore allow the reduction of the carbon footprint of its facilities.
Jetcool’s technology, which the company calls microconvection liquid electronics cooling, is similar to that used by all-in-one coolers installed in some desktop computers. Yes, with a difference. These use small jets to move coolant to hot spots on the hardware. This achieves a noticeable difference in heat transfer coefficient, making your devices 10 times more efficient compared to others with traditional cooling systems.
Liquid cooling, in which water or ethylene glycol play a major role as the heat transfer medium, is widespread, but traditional systems sometimes require a lot of work to achieve. These tasks usually include the construction of custom routes, and reserves for coolant liquids.
Where Jetcool differs, according to Network World, is that its microconvection technology makes liquid cooling of data center systems makes the process more efficient and uses low-cost materials. As the system is able to evaporate heat from the hardware more efficiently, it allows the company to offer smaller cooling systems, with the idea of including Jetcool cooling as an option on servers and HPC modules already in operation. , and achieve cost savings of up to 8%.
This allows manufacturers to create more powerful systems for a team of certain dimensions, lowering the carbon footprint of data centers by up to 30%since even high-performance equipment won’t have to rely on bulky evaporative heat systems or other traditional liquid cooling systems.
There is still no public data on the system tests on specific clients, but it seems that the manufacturers, according to Jetcool, see the system as a useful way to have high-performance hardware without making the clients who buy them have to invest in external cooling systems.
