Digitalization of heat exchangers reduces the world’s carbon emissions
Alfa Laval and Microsoft have joined forces to reach a common goal – to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This partnership utilizes the respective strengths of the two companies to create new sustainable solutions. Alfa Laval’s heat transfer solutions and expertise, and Microsoft’s data analysis and AI competence. This, to ensure all heat exchangers in the world perform optimally and to build the most sustainable data centers. A win-win-win for everyone.
Protecting and enabling greener solutions
On average, as much as 40% of a data center’s power consumption goes toward cooling the servers. Fortunately, the technology to make these cooling systems more energy efficient and reliable already exists. Watch this video to learn about the potential for increased sustainability with Alfa Laval’s next-generation plate heat exchangers.
Efficient and reliable technology: that is what we do
Only Alfa Laval offers a full range of heat exchange technology for data centers with performance certification from the independent Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). This gives you confident assurance of efficient performance, but ultimately, the equipment is just the beginning. Find out how we can work with you from day one to make sure your cooling system will deliver reliable, long-term sustainability.
Unique expertise to ensure dependable sustainability over time
Fouling can greatly reduce both the expected lifetime of your heat exchanger as well as its thermal performance. With Alfa Laval as your partner, you have access to the world-leading experts on chemistry and materials technology. They can work with you to identify the potential causes of fouling risks and develop custom strategies to help you prevent it.
