STULZ Modular, a leading provider of modular data center solutions, has successfully implemented a cutting-edge cooling system for the powerful supercomputer “Emmy” at the University of Göttingen. The project presented a significant challenge due to the extremely high heat density generated by the supercomputer, necessitating a solution that could deliver maximum cooling capacity within a limited space.
Overcoming Cooling Challenges
The Emmy supercomputer demanded a cooling system that could handle unprecedented heat loads without compromising performance or efficiency. STULZ Modular rose to the challenge by designing a custom solution that combined direct-to-chip liquid cooling with advanced air cooling technology. This innovative approach enabled the system to achieve an impressive heat density.
Modular Data Center for Rapid Deployment
To accommodate the growing computational needs of the University, STULZ Modular delivered a four-room modular data center in less than two months. This rapid deployment ensured minimal disruption to the University’s operations and accelerated the time to value for the Emmy supercomputer.
Sustainability and Efficiency
The cooling solution implemented by STULZ Modular not only addresses the technical challenges but also prioritizes sustainability. By reducing refrigerant usage by up to 80%, the system significantly lowers Emmy’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the data center achieved an annual operating Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.14, demonstrating exceptional energy efficiency.
Key Benefits of the STULZ Solution:
- Maximum cooling capacity in minimal space
- Rapid deployment of modular data center
- Reduced refrigerant usage and lower carbon footprint
- Improved energy efficiency with PUE < 1.14
This successful project solidifies STULZ Modular’s position as a leading provider of advanced cooling solutions for high-performance computing environments.
