Danfoss High-Pressure Pumps for Data Center Cooling

This case study details the collaboration between Condair and Danfoss in providing an evaporative cooling and humidification system for Facebook's data center in Luleaa, Sweden. The document outlines the specific requirements for high-pressure pumps that must distribute 13,000 liters of mineral-free water per hour without any risk of oil contamination. This is crucial for maintaining hygiene standards and ensuring compliance with ISO 22000 certification. The text describes the innovative ML System® developed by Condair, which utilizes Danfoss PAHT pumps to achieve energy-efficient cooling while preventing airborne pathogens. The system's energy consumption is notably low, achieving a cooling effect of 8.8 MWh with only 63 kWh per hour. The case study emphasizes the importance of reliability and low maintenance in high-demand environments like data centers, highlighting the performance and design collaboration between Condair and Danfoss. The results indicate that Facebook's Luleaa data center is one of the most energy-efficient and cleanest facilities globally.
