Cooling
an adiabatic tower is a fluid cooler that uses a closed circuit. an adiabatic evaporative cooler is basically a large fan that draws ambient air through water-moistened pads. as the air runs through the pads it cools down the water. the cooled water is then sent back where required (in case of a submer’s immersion cooling installation, to the smartpods heat exchanging system).
the temperature can be controlled by adjusting the air and water flow of the cooling tower. during the cooler months, the adiabatic system does not need water to lower the temperature, so it is actually switched off and works without even having to wet the pads. for the hottest summer days, the wettening of the pads allows to reduce the temperature below the ambient one. all this is managed automatically by the tower depending on the outdoor temperature and humidity.
adiabatic cooling towers offer several advantages over traditional cooling systems with cooling towers or dry-coolers, for example:
• no consumption of process water (closed circuit)
• no use of refrigerant gas
• no health or environmental contamination (no legionella)
• no formation of limestone/scale
• no chemical treatment of water
• top performance even with air temperatures over 40°c
• best heat exchange at dry bulb conditions (air-water exchange ∆t 5°c)
• low noise levels
• low power consumption
Sustainability
reaching carbon neutrality (or having a net-zero carbon footprint) means achieving a balance between carbon emissions and carbon removal from the atmosphere. the removal of carbon emissions can be obtained through carbon offsetting procedures or directly eliminating all carbon emissions altogether.
Cooling
computer room air conditioning (crac) units are devices used to cool computer rooms. a crac monitors and maintains the right temperature, air-distribution and humidity level so to guarantee a proper functioning of the datacenter.
Efficiency
a power shelf is a datacenter rack component that allows a smarter system management and distribution of the power to the rack. the idea behind a power shelf is to provide operators a more practical system to run any installation and maintenance procedure and operate power module exchange under live power operation. in submer’s liquid immersion cooling solutions designed according to the ocp principles of energy efficiency, the power shelf is directly connected to the busbar placed at the bottom of the tank.
Efficiency
a busbar is a device (usually a copper, brass, or aluminum strip) for collecting and distributing power locally. in relation to submer’s solutions which are designed according to the open compute project principles, the busbar is located at the bottom of the tank.

software-defined power“software-defined” is a relatively new term. it was introduced in 2011, and you may have seen it in contexts such as “software-defined datacenter” or “software-defined network”. even though the term has entered the it lexicon, it seems that the origins of this concept are rooted in marketing: “software-defined data center (sddc; also: virtual data center, vdc) is a marketing term that extends virtualization concepts such as abstraction, pooling, and automation to all data center resources and services to achieve it as a service (itaas). in a software-defined data center, ‘all elements of the infrastructure — networking, storage, cpu and security – are virtualized and delivered as a service.”
a software-defined architecture allows a datacenter to manage its data flow more easily and with more flexibility. if you consider the “data toll” that the digital transformation is imposing on the current datacenter infrastructure (think about iot, edge or ai), you would probably see the importance of having a strategy in place that helps you incorporate that in a smarter and more efficient way.

net-zero emissionsthe concept of net-zero emissions refers to the process of achieving an overall balance between, on one side, all man-made greenhouse gas emissions, and on the other, the greenhouse gas emissions that are taken out of the atmosphere. this process is realized thanks to a series of reduction measures.
to achieve net-zero emissions, all human activities causing ghg emissions (such as fossil-fueled vehicles and factories) need to be reduced to as close to zero as possible. even when this is achieved and there will be no more direct or indirect greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, it will still be necessary to deal with the emissions already present in the atmosphere (the difference between zero and net-zero emissions). to meet the 1.5°c global warming target in the paris agreement, global carbon emissions should reach net-zero around mid-century.
