Nortek Air Solutions Technology Featured in Facebook Data Center
ST. LOUIS — Nortek Air Solutions LLC, a leading provider of custom air handlers, announced the use of its patented StatePoint Technology® in a new, state-of-the-art Facebook data center. The new data center, located in Singapore, is Facebook’s fifteenth data center and the first engineered by the company in Asia.
Singapore is a major Asian technology center; however, the country’s high humidity and high temperatures make it challenging to construct an efficient data center in the area. StatePoint Liquid Cooling Technology is designed to reduce water consumption by up to 20 percent in such climates when compared to other indirect cooling systems. The average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of existing data centers in the area is greater than 1.75. This system is expected to achieve a PUE of 1.19, making this new data center one of the most efficient in the region.
