Hydratech's participation underscores their commitment to advancing liquid cooling technologies and data center cooling optimization - particularly through their flagship Coolflow® range of High Efficiency Glycols, and their Specialist Engineering & Maintenance Services.
Coolflow DTX®: Enhancing Data Center Cooling Efficiency
One of Hydratech's flagship products, Coolflow DTX®, is a high-performance, energy saving transfer fluid. Introduced in 2010, Coolflow DTX® offers thermal performance comparable to that of ethylene glycol (with the non-toxic rating of propylene glycol), providing significant operational advantages such as low viscosity and reduced system footprint. Notably, it has been proven to reduce energy costs by over 10% (compared to propylene glycol based coolants), as verified by Star Technical Services.
In the context of data centers, where cooling can account for over 30% of energy usage, the adoption of Coolflow DTX® presents an opportunity to enhance thermal management efficiency. By improving heat transfer rates and reducing energy consumption, Coolflow DTX® aligns with the industry's goals of sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Introducing Coolflow® MAX Nanofluid: The Frontier of Thermal Management
With a primary focus on developing their fluid range and leading the charge in energy saving, sustainable glycol technology, Hydratech has developed Coolflow® MAX nanofluid - engineered colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles within base fluids - to further enhance thermal conductivity and heat transfer properties.
In data centers, the enhanced thermal properties of nanofluids will lead to more efficient cooling systems, reduced energy consumption, and the possibility of designing more compact and efficient infrastructure. As data centers continue to expand in capacity and performance demands, the role of advanced cooling technologies like Coolflow® MAX nanofluid becomes increasingly critical.
Specialist Engineering and Maintenance Support for Data Center Operators
The Hydratech Fluid Management Services division provides specialist engineering and maintenance services to customers installing, commissioning, operating or optimising closed loop cooling and heating systems.
By combining expertise in water treatment chemistry, fluid thermodynamics and mechanical engineering, Hydratech Services delivers a fully integrated, holistic approach to liquid cooling system management. This in-turn maximises the potential for optimised performance, reduced operational costs and significant return on investment gains for data centers.
Working in technical partnership with cooling and heating system consultants, installers and end-users, Hydratech have built up an enviable list of high-profile data center clients including Vantage, atNorth, Mars Data and BT.
