Singapore embraces AI data centres with smarter cooling systems

AI and GPU operations are crucial for modern data centers, but they generate significant energy consumption and heat. A new SG$ 8 million project in Singapore aims to transform cooling solutions for these facilities to meet performance demands and global sustainability goals.

Data centres are crucial for the digital age but have a high environmental impact. In Singapore, they consume about 7% of the country’s total electricity, with cooling systems responsible for nearly 40% of that usage. AI and GPU-intensive tasks increase energy demands and heat, making it difficult for traditional cooling systems to manage effectively.

The rise of AI in various industries has greatly increased the need for scalable and adaptable infrastructure, making advancements in cooling technology essential.

In tropical climates like Singapore, advanced solutions are needed to reduce carbon emissions and the environmental impact of data centers.

This initiative combines industry expertise and research to create advanced cooling systems for high-performance AI and GPU data centers. The joint lab develops smart, adaptive cooling solutions that use technologies like predictive maintenance, intelligent controls, IoT, and digital twin simulations to improve efficiency, lower costs, and reduce energy consumption while ensuring optimal performance.

Recent innovations feature cooling systems that use neither pumps nor compressors, delivering significant energy savings. With a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 150, these systems offer double the cooling capacity of traditional methods. They also remove the requirement for chilled water, reducing the risk of water damage to valuable equipment.

Recent advancements in heat removal technology build on earlier breakthroughs that slashed energy use in data centers by up to 75% without mechanical pumps or compressors. The newest solutions now offer an additional 50% energy savings compared to traditional cooling systems.

Advanced cooling technologies have shown clear benefits in real-world applications. Data centers, including those in finance and supercomputing, have seen significant reductions in electricity usage, supporting global decarbonization goals.

The partnership highlights the value of collaboration between industry and research in fostering tech innovation. By utilizing expertise in computational fluid dynamics, advanced modeling, and AI control systems, it tackles the cooling needs of AI-heavy data centers and supports Singapore’s sustainability goals.

The Zero Water Risk Technology stands out as a defining element of the new systems, guaranteeing infrastructure safety while promoting environmental objectives. By removing chilled water from sensitive white spaces, these systems present a sustainable answer to a vital industry challenge, effectively lowering operational risks and minimizing carbon emissions.

These advancements are significant not only for Singapore but also provide a model for other areas facing energy challenges in data centers. This collaboration highlights how research and development can effectively tackle real-world issues.

Singapore strengthens its status as a leader in sustainable technology by developing efficient heat removal technologies. Smart cooling systems in data centers help deploy AI quickly while reducing energy costs and environmental impact.

As AI expands across industries, the demand for smarter, eco-friendly data center operations grows. This initiative showcases sustainable innovation, highlighting how collaborative efforts can enhance data center cooling and efficiency.
