The Syracuse Center of Excellence has awarded Portsmouth-based Vette Corp. $50,000 to fund commercialization of the solution, based on the LiquiCool data center cooling technology developed by Coolcentric, a division of Vette. The SyracuseCoE is a federation of private and public organizations that promotes innovation that improves health, productivity, security and sustainability in built and urban environments.
Five prototype units have been designed, produced, installed and commissioned by Vette at Syracuse University's "Green Data Center" in Syracuse New York.
"This funding is important to the development of high efficiency data center liquid cooling solutions, the creation of new jobs within the state of New York and further highlights Vette Corp's ongoing commitment to the Syracuse University Green Data Center," Vette CEO George Dannecker said in a statement.
The Green Data Center was a collaboration between the university, New York State and IBM. The $12.4m 12,000 sq ft facility is the university's primary data center and a showcase for cutting-edge energy saving technologies. It was completed last December.
The system achieves higher efficiencies than most traditional solutions by using no active fans, bringing the cooling coil closer to the heat load and using water instead of air for heat rejection, according to a Vette news release.
It is able to neutralize up to 40kW of heat by IT equipment installed within an IBM NetBay Enterprise rack. There are no electrical connections to the cooling unit. A non-condensing secondary return-water loop facilitates heat rejection. Its thermal monitoring and safety mechanism also does not need power to operate.
Vette plans to commercialize the product in late 2010.
