Problem: Artificial Intelligence has dramatically impacted data centers:
BIOFILM and BIO CONTAMINANTS compromise heat transfer efficiency in chillers and direct-to-chip cooling, leading to a surge in electricity and water consumption, e.g., higher Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE):
Biofilm is an invisible layer of microorganisms (as thin as a human hair) embedded in a slimy extracellular matrix that sticks to the heat surfaces of chillers and causes significant heat transfer loss.
Bio contaminants (such as algae blooms) form in direct-to-chip cooling piping, causing potential significant chip damage and major computing disruption.
Solution: Reverse Ionizer’s Plasma Disinfection System™ (PDS)
Our breakthrough Plasma Disinfection System™ (PDS) solution is designed for use in existing and new evaporative cooling towers and direct-to-chip cooling systems.
The PDS continuously controls biofilm in chillers to optimize heat transfer efficiency and kills bacteria, parasites and destroys viruses (including COVID-19) and bio contaminants (such as algae blooms) by combining non-thermal plasma discharges with other traditional treatment mechanisms.
The PDS also utilizes proprietary software and IoT monitoring to store system parameters that can send system alerts, resulting in a more responsive and energy efficient cooling system.
Controlling biofilm and bio contaminants reduce concentrations of Legionella bacteria and bio contaminants to non-detectable levels, increasing the owner/operator’s electricity and water efficiencies, while reducing risks of Legionellosis infections, legal issues, and reputational damage.
