Sea water air conditioning (SWAC), also known as ocean water cooling, is an alternative cooling system that uses the deep cold seawater as the chilling agent for a closed-loop fresh water distributed cooling system. It is one type of deep water source cooling. Once installed, SWAC systems typically operate at approximately 15% of the power ...
Project Natick was an experimental data center that underwent research and development by Microsoft. Microsoft deployed its first undersea data center prototype in August 2015. [ 1 ] It subsequently deployed and retrieved a "shipping-container" sized data center off the coast of the Northern Isles in 2018.
The HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) is a range of three modular data centers manufactured by HP.. Housed in purpose-built modules of standard shipping container form-factor of either 20 feet or 40 feet in length the data centers are shipped preconfigured with racks, cabling and equipment for power and cooling.

The development project was maintained under tight secrecy. The data centers are 250 feet long, 72 feet wide, 16 feet deep. The patent for an in-ocean data center cooling technology was bought by Google in 2009 [106] [107] (along with a wave-powered ship-based data center patent in 2008 [108] [109]). Shortly thereafter, Google declared that the ...
Close Coupled Cooling is a last generation cooling system particularly used in data centers. The goal of close coupled cooling is to bring heat transfer closest to its source: the equipment rack. By moving the air conditioner closer to the equipment rack a more precise delivery of inlet air and a more immediate capture of exhaust air is ensured.
A unit of Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear plant will be restarted as part of a new energy-sharing agreement with Microsoft, which plans to use it to power the data centers it operates as ...
Deep water source cooling (DWSC) or deep water air cooling is a form of air cooling for process and comfort space cooling which uses a large body of naturally cold water as a heat sink. It uses water at 4 to 10 degrees Celsius drawn from deep areas within lakes, oceans, aquifers or rivers, which is pumped through the one side of a heat exchanger .
The lukewarm melt water is then pumped back to the snow where it gets cooled and mixed with new melt water. Snow cooling works as a single cold source but can also be used for peak cooling since there is no relevant cooling limit. [29] [30] In Sweden there is one snow cooling plant in Sundsvall, built and owned by the county. The cooling load ...
