Munters says the SyCool Indirect ThermoSyphon Cooling (ITC) system provides an efficient cooling solution for any data centre where access to a suitable water supply may be limited, expensive or unreliable.  

The patent-pending system uses waste heat from the data centre and a combination of a gravity and syphon effect.

Munters says this drives a refrigeration cycle capable of operating without pumps or compressors to provide “remarkable” levels of energy efficiency. 

With zero water required, the firm adds SyCool ITC also eliminates the potential risk of contamination from air pollutants, as there is no outside air gaining access to the data hall. 

The system is initially launched as the P250, a packaged air handling unit which has been designed in such a way that multiple units can be installed side-by-side with no space between, and all service access from the ends.
