Enhancing Data Center Efficiency through Heat Recovery: A Collaboration between HPE and Danfoss



Hewlett Packard Company and Danfoss have partnered to offer HPE IT Sustainability Services: Data Center Heat Recovery. This collaboration aims to help organizations manage excess heat and transition to more sustainable IT installations, especially with the growing demand for AI technologies leading to increased energy consumption. The partnership introduces a turnkey heat recovery module that captures excess heat from data centers for renewable heating and various applications, creating a reliable source of clean energy.

The new energy-efficient data center solution combines HPE’s Modular Data Center (MDC) with Danfoss’ innovative technologies like heat reuse modules and Turbocor oil-free compressors to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The MDC incorporates direct liquid cooling (DLC) technologies, enhancing energy efficiency by over 20% and optimizing power distribution. This results in significant energy savings and faster deployment compared to traditional data centers.

The agile modularity of HPE’s MDC allows for quicker deployment, reduced energy loss, and maximized temperature differentials. With a focus on sustainability, the collaboration aims to revolutionize the construction and decarbonization of the data center industry by utilizing waste heat as a valuable resource. By harnessing excess heat, the partnership supports decarbonization efforts and sets the blueprint for sustainable modular data centers.

To further drive innovation in decarbonization, Danfoss and HPE are leveraging heat reuse technology to provide renewable heating solutions for both internal and external use. By capturing and reusing excess heat from data centers, the collaboration aims to promote a more efficient and sustainable approach to data center cooling while contributing to carbon neutrality initiatives. Through the integration of Danfoss’ energy-efficient solutions, the scalable modular data center offering enables data centers to operate more efficiently and recover excess heat for reuse.

In conclusion, HPE and Danfoss are on a mission to transform the data center industry by providing sustainable solutions that reduce energy consumption and promote decarbonization. By harnessing excess heat and utilizing innovative technologies, the partnership aims to create a more efficient, smart, and environmentally friendly approach to data center operations. The availability of HPE IT Sustainability Services – Data Center Heat Recovery marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable future for data centers.
