Rahi Systems Brings Disruptive Cooling Technology for Data Centers in Partnership with Air@Work B.V.

FREMONT, Calif -Rahi Systems, a data center solutions provider, announced general availability of disruptive Indirect Adiabatic Cooling technology for Data Centers of Small, Medium and Large Scale in partnership with Air@Work B.V., a European manufacturer of energy efficient air cooling solutions.

Data Center Cooling Infrastructure is a significant OPEX for the majority of Data Center Providers today. Various technologies are deployed from expensive refrigerant systems, chilled water systems to massive cooling towers. The partnership announced today aims to provide Data Center Operators with significant cost reduction in both OPEX and Maintenance of Cooling Infrastructure.

The systems are custom designed to be affordable, durable and low maintenance; utilizing StatiqCooling – an innovative low maintenance synthetic heat exchanger for indirect adiabatic cooling. The systems are modular starting with 20KW up to 200KW in capacity modules. The heat exchanger is a patented technology developed by Air@Work which operates with extremely low water consumption. The modularity allows Data Center Operators to accurately measure and control utilization, consumption and different cooling models specific to tenancy requirements within Data Centers.

“The payback time and reliability were decisive factors,” said Gregor Snip, of Amsterdam based Switch Datacenter Group. “Not only did the installation become 80% more energy efficient, but reliability increased greatly because all components were designed for N+1, therefore the cooling does not depend on a single cold water circuit. Moreover the maintenance of the systems can be carried out by our own maintenance crew which greatly decreased operating costs.”

“Air@Work has developed the Adiabatic Cooling technology over the past fifteen years and has implemented this technology in a variety of environments. As we started to expand in the USA, we were interested in a potential partner that would bring talent, operational skill sets and an extensive field network to make this successful. We have a lot of confidence that with our partnership with Rahi Systems we will be able to service our customers and help them gain value out of minimal consumption of water, granular control in maintaining temperature delta and operational simplicity,” said Coen Binnerts, CEO of Air@Work B.V.

“Rahi Systems is excited to announce our partnership with Air@Work. With our team’s talent, extensive experience in design, implementation and operation of large scale Data Centers we are well positioned to bring this new technology to the US Market. We feel this innovative technology is a green and cost saving solution. In addition, Air@Work has done several large implementations in Europe of Retrofit and New Data Center builds with their patented technology,” said Paul Weber, VP of Engineering at Rahi Systems.
