Liquid-cooled AI data centres crucial but challenging in water-scarce South Africa
Liquid-cooled AI data centres crucial but challenging in water-scarce South Africa
As the demand for AI processing power grows and thermal loads increase, liquid cooling has become a critical element in data center design. However, technology company Schneider Electric international operations secure power division senior VP Natalya Makarochkina says this is a challenge in water-scarce countries such as South Africa, therefore necessitating an innovative and comprehensive, yet flexible, approach. “Cooling towers and other evaporative cooling techniques are popular heat rejection solutions for hyperscale data centres because of their high efficiency and large cooling capacity.

Thirst Trap: Water sustainability issues loom over India's booming data centre industry
Thirst Trap: Water sustainability issues loom over India's booming data centre industry
India's data centre industry is booming, driven by significant investments from companies like Adani Enterprises. However, this growth raises concerns about the substantial water consumption needed for cooling in water-scarce cities. Operators are adopting alternative cooling technologies like air-cooled chillers to reduce water use. Despite these efforts, India lacks a national policy on data centre water usage. Experts call for sustainable practices to balance industry growth with water conservation.
