Dec. 12, 2013: Data Center Cooling System Wins Best Technology Award
Liquid Encapsulation Cooling Process Relies on the Natural Convection of Heat
SHEFFIELD, England — Iceotope announced that the application of its data center cooling system at the University of Leeds has received the Best Technology Innovation award from the Computer Weekly European User Awards for Data Centre program.
A large user of high performance computing (HPC) for its research, the University of Leeds’ Iceotope system has been installed in a large thermofluid mechanics laboratory at the School of Mechanical Engineering, where it is used to perform complex thermal computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. It is also becoming an experimental apparatus for exploring the possibilities of re-using the waste heat from IT systems.
