New Order for RackCDU Continues Energy Savings for Arctic University
November 17, 2014 - Asetek®, the world's leading supplier of computer
liquid cooling
solutions (http://file///C:/Users/ase/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Tem
porary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/I8VH1SMU/asetek.com), today
announced that it has received an order for five RackCDUT to expand on
the University of Tromsø's (UiT) existing installation in Norway. The
order is of strategic importance to Asetek as it is a repeat order
following 12 months of real life pilot testing and builds on UiT's
previously announced (http://asetek.com/press-room/news/2013/asetek
-pilot-award-to-cool-down-the-world%E2%80%99s-northernmost
-university.aspx) program to reduce energy consumption in the
University's new HPC (High Performance Computing) facility. In addition,
this installation of RackCDU D2CT is the first to enable waste heat
recovery by using the heat from the servers to heat the university
campus.
"Asetek is particularly pleased with the expansion of the UiT's Stallo
cluster. UiT was our first RackCDU customer and their extensive pilot
testing has validated our performance, reliability and waste heat re-use
claims (http://asetek.com/press-room/blog/2014/recycling-supercomputing
-power-an-infographic.aspx)," said André Sloth Eriksen, Founder and CEO
of Asetek. "Asetek's liquid cooling for data centers address key
European issues such as high energy costs, the need for "green"
technology and the importance of waste energy reuse."
RackCDU D2C is a "free cooling" solution that captures server heat,
reduces data center cooling costs by over 50% and allows increases in
data center server density. D2C removes heat from CPUs, GPUs, and memory
modules within servers using water, eliminating the need for chilling to
cool these primary sources for overheating of computers and servers.
