GRC Designates August as Data Center Liquid Immersion Cooling Awareness Month

GRC will provide educational sessions with end-users and other data center stakeholders, discussing the efficiency benefits, as well as the reduction in CapEx and OpEx, by deploying liquid immersion cooling

AUSTIN, TX – June 10, 2021 – With the summer months quickly approaching and data center managers increasing efforts to keep their operations cool, GRC (Green Revolution Cooling), the leader in single-phase data center liquid immersion cooling, announced today the first annual Liquid Immersion Cooling Awareness Month, to take place in August.

Liquid Immersion Cooling Awareness Month is intended to further educate the data center community on the technology and its advantage over air-cooled facilities. Liquid immersion cooling is capable of reducing the energy consumption of today’s data centers while enabling high-density deployments. Implementing immersion cooling at any phase of a data center’s lifecycle will allow operators to minimize both CapEx and OpEx, enable high-density deployments, and significantly reduce energy consumption.

The month-long educational initiative comes at a critical time—data center energy usage continues to skyrocket; enterprises and colocation facilities are under pressure from both customers and suppliers to find ways to reduce their corporate carbon footprint and become more sustainable; and the recent attention that Bitcoin mining energy consumption has garnered has only fueled demands.

Throughout the month of August via a series of webinars, GRC will be joined by a number of data center end-users, analysts, and industry experts who will help educate operators and others in the industry through case studies that illustrate how liquid immersion cooling results in highly efficient and cost-effective data centers. Also joining the discussion will be several server manufacturers.

When data centers deploy liquid immersion cooling, they see a significant reduction in energy when compared with traditional air-cooled facilities, as well as realize expanded capacity without increasing their existing footprint or over-expending of precious capital.

“Liquid immersion cooling provides a dramatic and long-lasting effect on data center energy consumption,” said Larry Kosch, Director of Product Marketing at GRC. “With airflow management still the predominant form of data center cooling, I look forward to Liquid Immersion Cooling Awareness Month increasing understanding of the technology and its economic and environmental benefits, as well highlighting the ease in which air-cooled data centers can be seamlessly retrofitted to liquid immersion cooling.”

Please visit grcooling.com/LICawareness to learn more about this initiative and the lineup of educational sessions as they are announced.

Last month, GRC announced its next-generation liquid immersion cooling solution, the ICEraQ^® Series 10, which can provide a PUE of <1.03 and cools up to 368 kilowatts. The system has gained early recognition and it is also an Innovation Product of The Year finalist for the Data Centre World Awards 2021, taking place in July.

GRC^® Releases the Next Generation of Data Center Liquid Immersion Cooling, Providing Increased Sustainability Capable of Delivering a PUE Yield of <1.03 and a Significant Reduction in Operating Costs

With the capacity to cool more than 200 kilowatts, the ICEraQ^® Series 10 boasts redesigned racks, adding features for enhanced usability and performance
for multi-rack deployments

AUSTIN, TX – May 18 , 2021 – GRC (Green Revolution Cooling^®), the leader in single-phase liquid immersion cooling for data centers, today announced the latest redesign of its immersion cooling solutions: ICEraQ Series 10. Redesigned based on data from more than ten years of customer installations, the Series 10 was built to deliver improved energy efficiency, performance, and usability, as well as integrate additional features.

Sustainability continues to be top of mind for today’s enterprise data center operators — and the Series 10 was designed with this in mind. As such, it provides unprecedented cooling capacity while at the same time decreasing total data center energy usage by up to 50%, delivering an ultra-efficient PUE of <1.03, and reducing server power by 10-20% (by disabling or removing server fans). As an added benefit, it accomplishes all this in a reduced footprint (eliminating CRACs & CRAHs), while maintaining a stable thermal environment.

The Series 10 immersion cooling system is a modular design which allows units to be positioned end-to-end, saving even more floorspace. It features an integrated containment area, eliminating the need for external containment decks; and is designed to optimize floor space utilization, allowing for the greatest number of racks without a walkway. CDU capacity has increased to 200 kilowatts with warm water and up to 368 kilowatts with chilled water, as well as the potential for at least a 50% larger brazed plate heat exchanger for even higher power future applications.

Next month, the Series 10 will be deployed at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). GRC and TACC have a 11-plus year relationship with immersion cooling, including cooling the GPU-intensive subsystem of their Frontera supercomputer — the 9th fastest supercomputer in the world.

The Series 10’s racks have 42U of space for servers and can accommodate up to four PDUs mounted at the rear of the rack. All ITE networking and power connections are easily accessible simply by opening the top lid — no tools required. The smaller footprint cools 2200 watts per square foot with warm water and even more with chilled water, quadrupling the previous ICEraQ offering.

Since the Series 10 utilizes the operator’s current data center footprint, the CAPEX needed for expansion or relocation is essentially eliminated. Additionally, given the efficiency inherent with liquid immersion cooling, operating expenses are reduced by utilizing less server power and cooling more efficiently than air cooling — even at densities as low as 15 kilowatts per rack.

“Since its founding, GRC has strived to design products to serve the data center industry’s current and future cooling needs. With companies such as Microsoft adopting liquid immersion cooling for high-density computing applications, our vision of re-imagined data center cooling is further validated.” said Peter Poulin, CEO, GRC. “As the next generation of data center immersion cooling solutions, the Series 10 builds on our successful deployments and customer input to improve usability and functionality, with an easy-to-use rack design and a clean aesthetic. It’s exciting to bring a new form into the market and we look forward to offering this immersion cooling solution to customers struggling with data center cooling challenges.”

To further provide cooling peace-of-mind, the Series 10 control system monitors for leaks, and provides real-time information on water and coolant temperatures, as well as pressure, coolant pump power consumption, and coolant pump speed. To maintain consistent cooling without the data center manager intervening, the internal logic adjusts pump speed to maintain optimal performance with the least possible power use. Internal logic can also assess system health and provides early fault detection.

Other highlights of the Series 10 include:

• 2N redundant CDU available
• 10% TCO improvement over the previous generation
• 18% CAPEX reduction over the previous generation
• Remote monitoring through Schneider Electric’s Machine Advisor DCIM
• Water control valve
• Filters can be maintained with no downtime
• Cool coolant enters at bottom of rack

The Series 10’s appearance has been updated to include radiused edges and uniform surfaces, while the cosmetic panels provide a clean exterior that disguise cables and plumbing.

John Paul Catholic University Adopts GRC’s Liquid Immersion Cooling for HPC Cluster

GRC provides John Paul Catholic University with turnkey solution that eliminates complexity and accelerates time to deployment. Fully integrated compute and cooling package enables JPCU to quickly implement state of the art computing cluster performance and efficiency

AUSTIN, TX – October 24, 2017 – Green Revolution Cooling (GRC), the leader in immersion cooling, today announced the latest installation of its liquid immersion computing system at John Paul Catholic University (JPCU) in San Diego, CA. The high density cluster made up of industry standard servers optimized for immersion, and built in partnership with Supermicro, exploit the enhanced performance and compelling economic value inherent with GRC liquid immersion technology.

“Virtually limitless cooling, industry leading efficiency, and lower upfront cost, made it an absolute no brainer for us,” said Kevin Meziere, VP of Technology at JPCU “the ability to cool over 100kW [per rack] effectively and efficiently, gives us the ability to be more responsive to future technology trends and adopt more powerful hardware without concerns of cooling capacity and costs. Being a downtown campus every square inch counts, so the ability more densely pack equipment is a huge win.”

By using the CarnotJet system, JPCU found a way to minimize upfront construction costs. By adding server capacity in previously vacant, unconditioned space they were able to avoid costs related to constructing an engineered building with raised floors, aisle containment, thermal engineering, etc. The CarnotJet system uses a dielectric liquid called ElectroSafe to cool the servers, eliminating the need for traditional air conditioning and the systems that support it. The adoption of GRC’s system resulted in JPCU reducing server energy usage by close to 20%, and cooling energy by over 90%.

“IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Virtual Reality are just a few of the HPC applications that are demanding more powerful systems. Many customers deploying these powerful systems have exceeded the limits of conventional cooling and are turning to alternatives, like liquid immersion. Further, we see customers seeking to eliminate complexity and increase their speed to deployment with a more integrated approach towards IT and infrastructure,” said Peter Poulin, CEO at Green Revolution Cooling “Our partnerships with OEMs such as Supermicro enable us to deliver those integrated solutions with a compelling economic benefit.”

JPCU employed the use of Immersion optimized, Minimus servers to cut hardware costs and create custom server configurations that align with their exact needs. Minimus Servers are designed to exploit the cost & performance benefits of immersion cooling and offer JPCU the opportunity to create a system expressly made for high density computing tasks.

The combination of industry standard components from Supermicro and the limitless cooling capacity of GRC’s immersion cooling system results in a cluster on the leading edge of performance and efficiency.

Liquid Immersion Cooling from Green Revolution Cooling helps Tokyo Institute of Technology Achieve Top Honors at Green500 Three Years in a Row

The latest Green500 list of most efficient supercomputers in the world was announced during the SC15 conference in Austin, Texas. For the third consecutive year, the Green Revolution Cooling-powered Tsubame-KFC supercomputer at Tokyo Institute of Technology has achieved top honors, this year ranking as the most efficient commercially available setup, and second overall.

AUSTIN, TX – December 2, 2015 – The results for the latest edition of the Green500 list of the most efficient supercomputers were announced during the SC15 (Supercomputing 2015) conference held in Green Revolution Cooling’s (GRC), hometown of Austin, Texas, last week. Tokyo Institute of Technology’s Tsubame-KFC super computer, running in Green Revolution Cooling’s oil immersion cooling system came out ahead of a number of past winners as the most efficient commercially available solution, and the second most efficient supercomputer overall. This is the third year in a row in which the system has received top honors on the list, previously being ranked #1 in November 2013, and June 2014.

“This is truly a great win for us, as one of our systems has steadily remained among the most efficient supercomputers for three years in a row. This is unheard of in the highly competitive and fast-changing world of HPC. Tokyo Institute of Technology is a banner customer and we will continue to work with them to break more records,” said Christiaan Best, CEO and Founder of Green Revolution Cooling. Both in November of 2013 and June 2014, the Tsubame-KFC (Kepler Fluid Cooling) system achieved the No.1 ranking on the Green500, also becoming the first supercomputer to break the 4 PFLOPs/W mark, ahead of its nearest competitor by over 20%. In this year’s edition, both of the top systems were immersion cooled, truly
exemplifying the power and efficiency of this method of cooling. While the Tsubame was cooled by Green Revolution Cooling’s mineral oil based ElectroSafe coolant, the RIKEN system was cooled with a 3M Fluorinert fluid in a custom cooling solution.

A recent white paper by Toshio Endo, Akira Nukada, and Satoshi Matsuoka of TI Tech, describes why the Tokyo Institute of Technology chose the GRC solution for the Tsubame-KFC and how the technology played a crucial part in helping TI Tech achieve record breaking efficiency:

“Ahead of overview of TSUBAME-KFC’s cooling technology with warm liquid (oil) submersion, we discuss the cooling methodologies; While submersion cooling has been deployed in the past in machines such as the Cray-2, the Florinate coolant utilized was extremely expensive, and moreover evaporated at low temperature of 56 degrees Celsius, and in fact the vapor was collected to be re-condensed, requiring airtight packaging.”

The complete white paper can be accessed on Green Revolution Cooling’s website at grcooling.com/learning-center/tsubame-kfc-immersion-cooled-greenest-supercomputer/.

Green Revolution Cooling’s Oil Immersion Cooling Technology Helps
Vienna Scientific Cluster Achieve a mPUE of 1.02 with Zero Water Use

AUSTIN, TX – July 2, 2015 – VSC-3, the third iteration of the Vienna Scientific Cluster, is reporting a mechanical Power Utilization Effectiveness (mPUE) of 1.02 as of the end of Q1 2015, making it one of the most efficient data center facilities in the world.

To put the 1.02 mPUE into perspective, the VSC-2, which used a highly optimized rear door solution, achieved a mPUE of 1.18 during the same period. “We are very impressed by the efficiency achieved with this installation. It is particularly impressive given that it uses zero water. We believe this is a first in the industry,” said Christiaan Best, CEO and founder of Green Revolution Cooling (GRC), the company that manufactures the immersion cooling system used by the VSC-3.

VSC-3 uses a closed loop dry cooler as the final method of heat rejection, meaning the syst2em does not require any water input. And while the lack of evaporative cooling may lead to a slight increase in cooling energy during the summer, GRC does not expect the cooling overhead to increase beyond 6% of the IT load.

The ultra-efficient supercomputing cluster, the VSC-3, was installed in 2014, after a unique tender process that accounted for the total cost of ownership of various technologies rather than the usual lowest upfront cost alone. Green Revolution Cooling, together with Intel, ClusterVision, and Supermicro came up with a custom solution that was well ahead of the competition.

The winning solution, pictured above, is made up of 2,020 nodes, each with 16 processor cores housed in the CarnotJet System. The more than 600 teraflops of computing power takes up a mere 540 kilowatts of power and is packed into a little over 1000 square feet of white space.

Green Revolution Cooling’s oil immersion cooling technology gave the bid a number of significant advantages over the competing solutions. Apart from being extremely efficient at cooling the cluster, the GRC system also helped reduce the energy consumed by the servers as well as the upfront build-out cost of the data center, including the cost of the very servers the system cools. “The value proposition [of the GRC system] was extremely impressive. The whole data center and cluster was far less expensive than it would have been with any other cooling solution on the market. We are certain we will be using the GRC solution on more projects in the future.” said Christopher Huggins, Commercial Director at ClusterVision.

The key to GRC’s technology lies in its unique approach of immersing complete servers in a mineral oil based coolant called ElectroSafe, which is a clear, non-toxic, liquid that is an electrical insulator but a good conductor of heat. In fact, it has 1,200 times the heat capacity of air by volume, making it ideal for cooling IT equipment. The superior thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the coolant, as compared to air, helps reduce the energy required to extract heat from nodes in order to maintain optimum core temperatures. The system also completely eliminates the need for capital intensive air conditioning equipment such as chillers, air handlers, humidity control, and even raised floors.

Further, the technology enables hardware optimization such as the removal of fans and intricate chassis, which are no longer required. The removal of fans and reduction in leakage current also allows for the downsizing of power supplies. These hardware optimizations alone saved an estimated $300 per server as compared to an off the shelf solution of similar configuration.
