Growing Computing Demand Drives Advanced Cooling Requirements
The rapid development of artificial intelligence and high-density computing is increasing server power densities, placing greater demands on the reliability, energy efficiency and space optimisation of data centre cooling systems.
Liquid cooling enables efficient heat transfer by bringing the cooling medium closer to the heat source. In a typical liquid cooling system, primary cooling water circuits, heat exchangers, CDUs and secondary cooling circuits work together to maintain stable cooling conditions for servers.
As essential components of fluid circulation systems, pumps play a critical role in ensuring reliable operation, efficient fluid transport and compatibility with system requirements.
Pump Solutions for Different Cooling Applications
KSB offers a comprehensive range of pumps and technical selection support to meet the requirements of different data centre cooling circuits.
For primary cooling water circulation, heat exchange and waste heat recovery applications, KSB offers Etanorm and Etabloc end-suction pumps, Omega split-case pumps and Movitec high-pressure multistage pumps. Products can be selected according to system flow rates, head requirements and installation conditions.
For secondary cooling circuits and CDU applications, Etabloc and MoviBloc horizontal centrifugal pumps support a variety of circulation requirements. The hermetically sealed EtaSeco canned motor pump eliminates the need for conventional mechanical seals, helping reduce associated leakage risks while accommodating compact equipment layouts.
Through appropriate hydraulic selection, high-efficiency motors and demand-based control, KSB pumps can also contribute to optimising the energy efficiency of data centre cooling systems.
Reliable Delivery and Lifecycle Support
To meet project-specific technical requirements, KSB carries out production, assembly and performance testing in accordance with the relevant product configurations and inspection standards, ensuring compliance with order and project specifications.
With 37 production sites across 18 countries and approximately 3,500 service experts worldwide, KSB provides lifecycle support covering product selection, installation, commissioning, maintenance and condition monitoring.
KSB will continue to focus on critical fluid handling applications in data centres, supporting efficient and reliable cooling system operation through its pump and valve products, technical expertise and service capabilities.
