Schneider Electric Releases White Paper on Capital Cost Comparison of Data Centre Liquid Cooling vs Traditional Air Cooling - Seite 2

By reducing the air-cooling equipment, power components including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and switchgear can also be removed, contributing further to the associated space saving.

In late 2019, Schneider Electric announced the data centre industry's first commercially available, integrated rack with immersed, Liquid-Cooled IT, in partnership with Iceotope and Avnet. Chassis-based immersive cooling is an emerging technology, however, the cost savings calculated within Schneider Electric White Paper #282 are representative of a near-term deployment at scale. Additional savings can be expected as future technology and manufacturing efficiencies improve.
