Description

The problem of efficient and effective cooling has been haunting us for nearly a decade: since 2018 Nikhef has been aware of the issue and has explored several possibilities: ones that fir our environment, use the data centre infrastructure we have, and the infrastructure we have for getting rid of residual heat.
But what is the best technology out there today? And which technologies that looked promising have miserably failed us? In this contribution we explain why certain technologies aren’t suitable for us and why we don’t believe that other solutions will keep working in the long run.
By testing and comparing the best candidate that we have found against what we use today, we like to share our experience during this journey.
