Engineering to enhance customization, efficiency and the customer experience

The secret is out. Climate change is here, and decisive action is needed immediately. As the globe tries to grapple with its effects, nearly every industry and many governments on the planet are scrambling for innovative solutions. While the new digital economy and innovations in technology play a leading role in finding and creating these solutions, even these have a glaring problem: power-hungry data centers, using enormous amounts of energy to cool the IT used to process, compute and store the troves of information. With a passion to help battle climate change and enhance the data center cooling domain, Dutch scale-up Asperitas and partners like Shell and Boston Limited are eager to address the problem and show how immersion cooling can change the game.

A small footprint, easy rollout, more densely packed IT and the potential for heat reuse – the list of benefits for immersion cooling is extensive, to say the least. But chief among them is probably the fact that Asperitas’ system is specially engineered to get rid of any energy-sucking motors and moving parts. Instead, its setup relies on natural convection and the laws of fluid dynamics to cool the IT – drastically slashing the amount of energy needed.
