The European Commission has asked the IT industry for faster, more decisive action on the issue of raising data center temperatures to enable more free air cooling. The request comes in an effort to increase the energy efficiency of data centers as part of an ongoing implementation process of the “EU Code for Conduct for Data Centres.” Paolo Bertoldi, directorate-general of … [Read more...]

Facebook Strives to Redefine Data Center Cooling Systems
As one of the world’s largest purveyors of online information, Facebook is continually updating its data center cooling system in an effort to increase cooling efficiency while maintaining current costs. Facebook’s original data center in Prineville, Ore. was designed for the desert and takes advantage of the low temperatures and humidity to cool its hardware with outside air. … [Read more...]
Firefighting Robot Uses Liquid Cooling and Fan System to Prevent Overheating
An ultra-durable, remote-operated mini-tank originally created to neutralize improvised explosive devices in combat zones for the U.S. Army has been re-imagined as a firefighting robot. Created by defense contractor Howe and Howe Technologies, Thermite is designed for fire suppression in areas that are deemed too dangerous for humans. The mini-tank is equipped with HD video … [Read more...]
Theory on Quantum Cascade Lasers May Remove Necessity of Cooling Methods
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria have proposed a theory that the heating effect in quantum cascade lasers—semiconductor-based devices that emit infrared radiation—could be reversed through a modification of the thickness of semiconductor layers. The new theory may assist with the development of an internal cooling mechanism for certain types of lasers and … [Read more...]
