Data centers have become the backbone of modern technology, powering everything from social media to cloud computing. However, with this great power comes great responsibility as data center managers must ensure that their operations are efficient and reliable to meet the demands of their users. When you think of resources critical to a data center’s daily operations, electricity might come to mind first. However, water is just as essential.

Maintaining a high purity water system is crucial in improving data center efficiency. Data centers generate significant heat due to the large amount of computing equipment operating simultaneously. If this heat is not adequately managed, it can lead to equipment overheating, which can cause equipment failure and downtime. This is why Neu-Ion’s High Purity Water Systems supply the data center’s clean steam humidification, which is critical for maintaining a successful environment.

Neu-Ion uses reverse osmosis technology and deionization methods to generate purified water for the clean steam generator. Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that involves passing water through a semipermeable membrane to remove impurities, such as minerals, salts and other contaminants. This process creates a high-quality source of water that is ideal for use in cooling systems in data centers. The purified water can be used as a coolant, absorbing heat from the equipment and transferring it outside the data center, helping regulate the temperature and prevent overheating. Using reverse osmosis technology, data centers can ensure that their equipment operates efficiently and reliably, reducing the risk of equipment failure and downtime.

Moreover, high purity water systems enable data centers to operate more efficiently by reducing the energy required to cool the equipment. Traditional cooling methods, such as air conditioning, can be expensive and energy-intensive, especially when dealing with high-density computing environments. By using high purity water systems, data centers can leverage the thermal properties of water to achieve more efficient cooling, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Using this more efficient cooling system reduces the risk of equipment failure by providing a clean and reliable water source to cool the equipment. Without high purity water systems, impurities in the water supply could build up in the cooling systems and cause blockages, corrosion or other problems, leading not only to system downtime and costly repairs but eventually to equipment failure and costly replacements. High purity water systems eliminate these impurities, allowing the equipment to operate optimally for a longer time, prolonging its lifespan.

Neu-Ion designs effective purified water solutions that meet the seasonally driven humidification demands of the data center industry, offering a savings-focused preventive maintenance plan to accommodate its customers’ needs and schedules.
