Airsys Launches Game-Changing Cooling Technology for Data Centers
Intelligent, scalable cooling platforms address power density challenges
driven by AI, high-performance computing, and big data demands
Airsys Cooling Technologies Inc., a global leader in mission-critical cooling solutions, has unveiled PowerOne, a state-of-the-art high-efficiency cooling solution tailored to meet the increasing demands of modern data centers. With the rise of AI, hyperscale computing, and high-density environments, PowerOne represents an innovative leap in cooling technology.
This modular and versatile cooling architecture can seamlessly scale from 1MW edge deployments to massive 100+ MW hyperscale applications. This adaptability ensures that even the most significant power density challenges can be addressed effectively.
Market insights reveal that the demand for sophisticated cooling solutions is growing. Recent studies highlight a significant projected growth in the data center cooling market, with cooling systems consuming a large portion of energy requirements in dense environments. As data center power demands continue to surge, Airsys’s PowerOne is designed specifically to optimize energy consumption while minimizing operational costs, all while enhancing environmental sustainability.
Redefining Cooling Solutions
“With PowerOne, we’re redefining what a cooling system should do,” said Yunshui Chen, CEO and founder of Airsys. “These solutions are focused on energy efficiency while converting otherwise stranded power into usable computing capacity and revenue. It’s time for cooling to be designed with the business needs in mind, not just the facilities.”
This new system supports a broad range of IT loads, from 1 to over 100 megawatts. The innovative design eliminates past limitations, providing unprecedented cooling agility for data centers. The PowerOne system consists of two main solutions to cater to diverse cooling needs:
Standard Cooling Stack – This foundational technology is modular and highly efficient, crafted for environments utilizing AI, high-performance computing, and enterprise operations. It includes:
- CritiCool-X™ – A high-efficiency chiller designed to support Air/Liquid Hybrid cooling
- FluidCool-X™ – Precision cooling CDU made for dense workload demands
- MaxAir™ – A compact, high-performance fan wall solution
- Optima2 CW™ – A CRAH unit tailored for high-density compute environments
LiquidRack™ Solution – Focused on single-phase, liquid spray cooling for today’s AI demands, this architecture enables effective compressor-less closed-loop cooling and integrates with:
- AdiaCool™ dry coolers for enhancing free-cooling use
- CritiCool-X™ for chiller-based setups in rigorous climates
Pioneering Adaptability for Modern Data Centers
Engineered for the needs of the AI era, PowerOne can tackle extreme power densities without the constraints associated with traditional cooling systems. Conventional solutions face challenges such as high energy consumption and rising operational costs, which PowerOne effectively mitigates through its innovative design and intelligent control mechanisms. This system sets new industry benchmarks for power compute effectiveness (PCE), delivering a significant advantage in data center operations and sustainability efforts.
Understanding PCE Metrics
PCE, or Power Compute Effectiveness, is a novel metric crafted for the specific needs of AI-driven data centers. While traditional metrics measure overall facility efficiency (PUE), PCE assesses how effectively the provisioned power translates into usable compute power. Higher PCE results in greater compute capacity without the need for additional infrastructure, allowing for optimized performance.
Flexible Deployments to Suit Various Needs
PowerOne’s modular design caters to new builds, modernization initiatives, and upgrades for existing facilities, making it incredibly flexible for both air and liquid cooling setups. This adaptability allows operators to adjust cooling capacities in accordance with their computing requirements, significantly reducing the need for excess infrastructure.
“Airsys is revolutionizing the cooling sector by providing solutions essential for the most integral digital infrastructures,” Chen stated. “As the demand for AI and digital connectivity continues to amplify, Airsys is committed to delivering systems that maintain efficiency, resilience, and technological readiness for future advancements.”
PowerOne products will soon be available with an industry-leading warranty program, and pre-orders are currently open, with select items expected to be launched soon. For further information regarding PowerOne, it will be accessible via the Airsys website and through specific representatives worldwide.
Introducing Aegis: A New Era in Liquid Cooling
Alongside the PowerOne launch, Airsys is also proud to introduce Aegis, a dedicated liquid cooling initiative designed to function as an agile innovation center within the company. Aegis aims to swiftly respond to the evolving requirements of the AI and HPC sectors by producing advanced liquid cooling components, such as control systems and cold plates that complement the PowerOne ecosystem.
Utilizing cutting-edge 3D manufacturing capabilities, Aegis is positioned to innovate, prototype, and launch new solutions quickly, addressing the intricate thermal demands of AI operations. This approach allows Airsys to merge its extensive infrastructure experience with Aegis’s rapid engineering capabilities, promoting enhanced innovation and collaboration across related industries. More updates regarding Aegis cooling technologies will be forthcoming.
Members of the Airsys team will be demonstrating the capabilities of PowerOne at an upcoming conference, showcasing its robust performance and features.
