Summary
Exoscale, the cloud service division of A1 Digital, has partnered with Austrian company Diggers to implement an advanced liquid cooling system in their Vienna data center, aiming to enhance energy efficiency for artificial intelligence workloads. This collaboration focuses on reducing energy consumption and repurposing waste heat generated by high-performance computing processes.
The increasing demand for AI applications has significantly escalated energy usage in data centers, with cooling systems accounting for approximately 20 to 25 percent of this consumption. In response, Exoscale and Diggers have introduced a solution that integrates specialized cooling lines directly into server units. These lines efficiently capture heat from AI GPUs and standard processors, utilizing thermodynamic effects for liquid transport, which markedly reduces energy requirements. The captured heat, reaching temperatures around 50°C , can be repurposed for hot water production or supplied to district heating networks, achieving a heat utilization rate of up to 98 percent.
