ThermalWorks, a leading provider of ultra-efficient, AI-ready waterless cooling systems for the data center industry, recently installed six 1 MW chillers that utilize an ultra-efficient, closed-loop cooling system engineered for high-density, AI-driven workloads — all in a single day at a Edged Phoenix campus. These chillers provide powerful performance with zero water evaporation, thereby preserving vital water resources for the Phoenix community they are designed to serve.
At a time of growing water scarcity, the Edged Phoenix campus is uniquely optimized for water and energy efficiency. The data center is outfitted with the ThermalWorks waterless cooling system which uses no water for cooling and is expected to save millions of gallons of water each year compared to conventional data centers. The modular system supports densities of up to 70 kW per rack with air cooling and 200 kW per rack with plug-and-play liquid cooling integration while delivering industry-leading energy efficiency (average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15 portfolio-wide).
The ThermalWorks system offers a rapidly scalable, future-ready solution for a warming planet. Its modular design dramatically simplifies installation, significantly reducing time and cost, and allows for unmatched flexibility and growth. From AI-driven autonomous controls to direct-to-rack liquid cooling and advanced compute capabilities, ThermalWorks’ innovative solutions are designed to maximize performance and efficiency for the fast-changing digital industry.
The facility joins a growing network of Edged data centers outfitted with ThermalWorks waterless cooling systems currently operating or under construction across the U.S., including in Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, Columbus and Atlanta.
