Ultrapure Water Data Centre

Data centres operate with a high computer density and generate a great deal of heat, which must be dissipated reliably. Water is used as a heat transfer medium for many cooling systems. Ultrapure water in the data centre prevents corrosion and deposits, ensures constant heat transfer, reduces maintenance costs and contributes to increasing the operational reliability and service life of the installations.

A large proportion of a data centre's energy consumption is used for cooling. Efficient cooling systems - e.g. direct or indirect free cooling, adiabatic cooling or water cooling circuits - are crucial for optimising power usage effectiveness (PUE). High-quality water treatment is necessary for these systems to function optimally and permanently.

Herco utilises proven processes such as reverse osmosis (RO), appropriate pre-treatment, filtration and, if necessary, redundant solutions. The systems are dimensioned to meet high requirements - both in terms of performance and reliability.

Optimised cooling systems with high-quality water allow the cooling system (data centre) to work more efficiently, which reduces overall energy consumption. At the same time, good treatment reduces the use of chemicals and cuts maintenance and servicing costs. Together, these effects improve efficiency and reduce operating costs over the service life of the system.
