Data center cooling technologies

Enhanced data center cooling system reliability, with best-in-class cooling control

ABB’s efficient motors and ultra-low harmonic drives help data center cooling systems to precisely keep the targeted temperature and humidity levels. This gives computer rooms reliable and effective air conditioning, while maintaining the power quality in the electrical network. In addition to this, a suite of digital services merge easy connectivity and data analytics with our deep expertise to keep data centers cooling controls running efficiently, predictably and safely.

Benefits of enhanced data center cooling controls technologies include:

Lower energy consumption and costs for cooling
Highest possible uptime for server cooling systems, even during power brownouts
Reduced harmonics in the data center power network
Peace of mind, knowing your servers are operating smoothly, to keep valuable data safe.

Mitigating the threat of harmonics to maintain data centre reliability

Digital Infra Network, April 2021

Harmonics are one of the key issues affecting data centre reliability. Addressing harmonics at an early stage allows long-term savings achieved through higher efficiencies and longer-lasting equipment. Read our recommendations in the article.

How can active front end drives reduce data center costs?

DataCenterNews, December 2020

The energy consumed by a data center is by far the largest contributing element in its day to day operating expenses. Read how drives technology can reduce OPEX and CAPEX for data centers.

Why PUE tells only part of the data center energy efficiency story

Web story

Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is one of the most significant key performance indicators to show how efficiently a data center uses energy. It is useful to know the PUE, but care should be taken when interpreting what it actually shows.

How variable frequency drives and motors create energy-efficient cooling for data centres

Feature article

Data centres use enormous amounts of energy, especially in cooling the IT equipment. Investing in drives and energy efficient motors in cooling systems can make a massive contribution to keeping energy consumption under control. ABB's Global Product Marketing Manager, Maria Fedorovicheva explains how.

Driving improvements for efficient data center cooling

Feature article

Data centers use around 2% of the world’s energy production. On average, 40% of this energy is used by IT cooling systems. That is why there is a great focus on improving data center PUE through the increased energy efficiency of the fans, pumps, and compressors being part of the data center cooling system.
