NEC Corporation, a provider of IT, network and communications products and solutions, has announced the development of a new highly-efficient, multi-stage cooling technology that effectively removes the heat generated by ICT equipment mounted on racks installed in data centers.
The new cooling technology utilizes a phase change cooling technology previously developed by NEC that can be installed in information communications technology (ICT) devices to collect heat from the devices before it disperses into the server room and transport it outside the room.
Use of the new technology can reduce data center power consumption by up to 50 percent, the company said, and enable data center operators to increase the number of ICT devices they mount on racks without raising the air conditioning power. The technology also ensures high reliability at low cost by allowing the appropriate amount of coolant to be supplied to each level through its unique flow path design.
