Use Cases
Rising compute densities from AI and HPC workloads are pushing conventional cooling beyond its design limits. When cooling infrastructure cannot maintain optimal temperatures, organisations face cascading impacts: degraded performance, shortened equipment lifecycles, and escalating operational costs.
Each stakeholder in your organisation experiences these challenges differently, yet all need the same outcome: reliable, efficient cooling that supports growth, not limits it.
Business Challenge
National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore needed to retrofit an existing facility into a state-of-the-art data centre serving academic, research, and industry communities. The challenge? How to efficiently cool both low and high-density server racks within a single data hall while optimising power utilisation.
Traditional approaches forced an unacceptable trade-off. Air-cooled solutions with containment consumed excessive power for high-density racks and couldn’t handle extreme heat loads efficiently, resulting in poor PUE metrics. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling offered better efficiency but introduced water risk near critical electronics, creating elevated operational risk.
Objective
Deploy efficient rear-door cooling in Singapore’s first tropical supercomputing data centre without introducing water risk to the computing environment.
Outcome
KoolLogix enabled NSCC to reduce their carbon footprint by 75%, earning them the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. The solution removes up to 20kW of heat per rack with zero water risk to servers and no cooling-related downtime.
KoolLogix Deployment
Row-level passive heat removal handling up to 20kW per rack with minimal power consumption.
Standardised docking structure supporting mixed rack designs with refrigerant-based cooling that eliminates water risk.
Simplified operations with fuss-free maintenance
Business Challenge
One of Singapore’s largest bank achieved carbon neutrality in operational emissions in 2022 and sought to further improve cooling efficiency across their regional data centres as part of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments.
With stringent regulations limiting new data centre construction, they needed to optimise their existing facility to dramatically improve cooling efficiency and increase compute capacity without disrupting operations or increasing power consumption
Objective
Deploy sustainable cooling technology that enhances efficiency while ensuring zero downtime during the transition.
Outcome
KoolLogix retrofitted the facility with row-level passive cooling across 1.92MW of IT load, completing the project in 9 months with no downtime. The deployment tripled potential compute density from 6kW to 20kW per rack while reducing cooling system power consumption by 75%, significantly advancing OCBC’s sustainability goals.
KoolLogix Deployment
Implemented shared heat removal architecture enabling flexible rack densities from 6kW to 20kW.
Maintained continuous operations throughout the entire retrofit process.
Achieved sustainability targets through passive cooling design with minimal power requirements.
Business Challenge
This mission-critical data centre prioritises operational uptime while supporting 20kW high-density racks within severe space constraints. Traditional air-cooled solutions couldn’t deliver the required capacity within the available footprint.
Maximum resilience was essential, but traditional redundancy approaches would introduce multiple pumps and failure points, increasing both maintenance burden and failure risk. The solution had to deliver system-level resilience while remaining fully operational during component maintenance, without adding mechanical complexity.
Objective
Deploy highly resilient cooling that supports 20kW rack densities within the existing facility while minimising operational risk and mechanical complexity.
Outcome
KoolLogix delivered inherent resilience through passive design, supporting 20kW per rack without mechanical pumps. The shared heat removal architecture maintains full cooling capacity even during maintenance, eliminating both airflow issues and hot spots while minimising data hall footprint.
KoolLogix Deployment
Implemented shared heat removal architecture providing built-in redundancy without additional equipment.
Enabled concurrent maintenance with heat removal capacity shared across adjacent modules during servicing.
Achieved maximum uptime through passive design with no pumps or mechanical components to fail.
