SYNOPSIS

Once-through water heat rejection systems, more commonly known as once-through cooling systems, are widely used in energy-intense industries due to their efficiency and reliability, yet remain rarely used in data centers. A small but growing number of colocation providers are taking the opportunity to use once-through cooling systems, which are water to absorb their waste heat rather than rejecting it into the atmosphere. This deliver efficiencies, and in some cases high-density racks, to their customers.

This presentation explores different designs and provides real-world case studies of colocation providers using them.
