enhancing data center efficiency
Apollo Valves power high-performance cooling systems for Mission-Critical infrastructure
- location: Salt Lake City, Utah
- vertical market: data centers
Our collaboration on a cutting-edge data center renovation in Salt Lake City, Utah exemplifies our commitment to delivering innovative solutions for modern data infrastructures. This project, located on a 55-acre campus with private data suites and state-of-the-art communal areas, highlights the effectiveness of our “Apollo”® Valves® product line in enhancing the facility’s cooling distribution systems.
challenge
The primary challenge of this project was to implement a cooling solution that could handle the rigorous demands of a 24x7x365 operational data center while maintaining an industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Data centers require precise temperature control to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity and reliability of the servers. The cooling system needed to meet critical needs for operational continuity and efficiency in this rapidly evolving digital infrastructure.
solution
Aalberts integrated piping systems Americas approached this project by utilizing a variety of our “Apollo”® Valves product options, known for their durability and performance under pressure. The products deployed included:
- LD 141 series butterfly valves: for controlling large volume flow rates efficiently
- 70 series ball valves: providing reliable shut-off with easy maintenance
- 77C series and 77CLF series ball valves: ensuring full-port flow performance for optimal cooling efficiency
- 61Y series swing checks: preventing backflow and maintaining system integrity
- 77VLF series lead-free ball valves: ideal for systems requiring stringent safety standards
outcome and benefits
The installation of “Apollo”® Valves facilitated a streamlined and effective cooling distribution network within the data center. This resulted in:
- improved operational efficiency
- achievement of an industry-leading PUE
- reduced energy consumption relative to IT load
- enhanced system integrity and reliability
- optimized temperature control for server longevity
conclusion
The Salt Lake City data center project underscores Aalberts integrated piping systems’ expertise in providing high-quality solutions for highly specialized environments. Our involvement demonstrates our commitment to supporting critical infrastructure with solutions that not only meet but drive the future of industry standards. Our “Apollo”® Valves, designed and manufactured in the USA, ensure premium quality and reliability through rigorous testing to meet the stringent requirements of data centers.
