Nexalus has teamed up with HPE to integrate its liquid cooling technology - which it claims can recycle excess heat - into the vendor’s servers.

The partnership will see Nexalus deploy its technology in three of HPE’s server models, which it says offer enhanced thermal performance and reduced energy consumption.

Irish firm Nexalus uses a type of direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology that sees jets of cooling fluid sprayed onto specific parts of a chip to achieve the optimum cooling temperature. The company claims this can help cut emissions and energy usage.

Waste heat from the system can be collected and redirected elsewhere. Nexalus believes this could help customers reuse the warmth generated by their servers to supply things such as district heating systems.

Kenneth O’Mahony, co-founder and CEO of Nexalus, said: “Our technology transforms data centers from high energy users and emitters into energy-efficient hubs and clean energy generating assets by reusing thermal energy, significantly reducing emissions.

“This collaboration addresses a pressing challenge and presents a transformative opportunity for the industry to flip the data center power demand paradigm on its head by enabling these assets to serve as thermal power stations that can supply clean energy to nearby cities or industrial facilities.”

HPE ProLiant DL360, DL365, and DL380a servers will now feature the technology.

“We are excited to work with HPE and bring Nexalus’ advanced cooling solutions to some of the most trusted servers in the industry,” added O’Mahony. “This collaboration highlights our shared commitment to sustainability and best-in-class solutions for the data center market, helping customers meet growing performance demands while reducing environmental impact.”
