精选理由

NVIDIA用液冷把数据中心用水几乎干到零,还顺便回收热量给社区,环保和算力两不误。

AI 摘要

曼哈顿研究所数据显示,美国数据中心用水仅占全美日用水量的0.2%。采用45°C液冷技术后,AI工厂在适宜气候下可用干冷器替代冷却塔,将设施冷却用水从约每年每MW 260万加仑降至接近零。液冷技术同时提升能效,并支持热量回收与社区供暖,使数据中心成为电网资产。

May journalists everywhere read this NVIDIA @nvidia Water usage has been a hot topic in the AI data center world, but the numbers may surprise you. According to the Manhattan Institute, data centers use 0.2 percent of daily water usage in the U.S. and that number has dramatically decreased in the past few years due to a new method: liquid cooling. By moving to 45°C liquid cooling, AI factories in favorable climates can use dry coolers instead of conventional cooling-tower-based systems, cutting facility cooling water use from roughly 2.6M gallons per MW per year to near zero. Liquid cooling enables AI factories to be both water and energy efficient, while creating opportunities for heat reuse and dispersal to local communities, allowing these factories to become energy grid assets.
