Data center cooling
18 March 2016
With new server cooling technology and free cooling solutions, Alfa Laval now has a complete offering for data centre cooling.

Features include:
- Special server cooling technology - Low Speed Ventilation (LSV) is a new, highly efficient cooling technology for server rooms resulting in lower energy consumption, lower cooling-related energy bills (by up to 30% depending on the centre's size, type and location) and low PUE.
- Free cooling with air - Due to its wide product portfolio Alfa Laval says it is able to combine adiabatic or dry coolers with gasketed plate heat exchangers at the core of air-based free cooling systems. It identifies the optimum periods for free cooling or chiller cooling in year-round operation.
- Free cooling with water - An economic and eco-friendly solution sourced from rivers, lakes or oceans. Alfa Laval offers both water filters and gasketed plate heat exchangers for data centre cooling. This system can often operate year-round without mechanical cooling.
- Continuous partnership - Proactive maintenance and customised service programs ensure optimal long-term equipment performance.
"There are so many options out there, that it can be confusing," says Mats Carselid, marketing manager Data Centre Cooling. "Our aim is to take the complication out of data centre cooling. And now that we have a new solution that has been specifically developed for server cooling - Low Speed Ventilation - the choice is easier.
"With the addition of Low Speed Ventilation, we now have a comprehensive range covering all aspects of Data Centre Cooling. But, what makes the real difference is how we use our expertise to help customers identify the right solution, or combination of solutions, to create a complete cooling system optimised for a specific data centre."
