Chilled water systems help data centers balance availability and sustainability by lowering both direct and indirect emissions. Compared to traditional cooling, they use less refrigerant, support low-GWP alternatives, and minimize leakage risks. Optimizations such as higher operating temperatures, advanced controls, inverter-driven compressors, adiabatic cooling, heat recovery, and thermal storage further reduce energy use and costs. These systems adapt well to non-raised floor designs and support integration with liquid cooling for high-density workloads. With low TEWI and WUE metrics, chilled water systems deliver efficient, scalable, and future-ready thermal management.
