How water-smart engineering unlocks energy efficiency and carbon reduction

A Northern Virginia hyperscale data center built resilient cooling water infrastructure with redundant treatment capacity to protect uptime, maintain compliance and support uninterrupted operations.

A global leader in data center infrastructure set out to build a large-scale, high-performance computing campus in South Central U.S. Built for extreme performance— with redundant electrical topologies, full UPS and battery backup, and very high rack densities —the facility required an equally resilient water filtration system to support primary chilled water and adiabatic chiller cooling. With multi‑gigawatt‑scale power capacity, every system had to be engineered around a single imperative: continuous operation.

As energy performance requirements tighten, the need for ultra-efficient pumping solutions is growing fast. Xylem’s ecocirc S, M and L circulators meet this challenge head-on.

ebook explores how liquid cooling can help data centers meet growing AI-driven demands while improving water and energy efficiency through a a system-level approach.

Xylem’s approach goes beyond component supply, providing a full-service, consultative model for data centre operators, builders, and consultants. Its remit covers everything from cooling and heat recovery to HVAC, firefighting, and wastewater management. In essence, it’s a one-stop shop for water and thermal systems in modern data centres.
