Making All Your Cooling Work Together
Data center liquid cooling works great but adds more parts to manage. Smart control systems help your cooling technologies work as a team. Our experts set up control systems that save energy while keeping your servers at the right temperature.
What Are Smart Cooling Controls?
Control systems work as the brain of your cooling setup. They watch over, analyze, and manage all cooling equipment from one central place.
These systems gather data from many sensors, study the patterns, and make quick changes to your cooling settings. This smart approach keeps your equipment cool while using the least possible energy.
What Smart Controls Can Do
Watching Everything
- Live Tracking: Checks temperatures, pressures, flow rates, and power use across all systems
- Heat Maps: Shows where hot spots form in your data center
- Early Warnings: Spots problems before they affect your equipment
Working Automatically
- Smart Resource Use: Moves cooling power to where it’s needed most as server loads change
- Self-Adjusting: Changes cooling settings on its own to maintain perfect conditions
- Backup Protection: Switches to backup cooling if the main system has trouble
Working With Everything
- Runs All Brands: Controls equipment from different makers through one system
- Talks to Building Systems: Works with chillers, pumps, and power systems
- Responds to IT Needs: Adjusts cooling as computing demand goes up or down
How This Helps Your Data Center
Saves Energy
- Just-Right Cooling: Provides exactly what you need, no more and no less
- Smarter Fan Use: Runs fans and pumps at the lowest speeds needed
- Uses Free Cooling: Automatically uses outside air when it’s cool enough
Makes Operations Better
- One Control Panel: Manages all cooling from a single screen
- Access From Anywhere: This lets you check and adjust settings remotely
- Auto Reports: Creates efficiency reports without extra work
Reduces Risks
- Early Alerts: Warns your team about issues before they cause problems
- Auto Backup: Turns on backup systems without human help
- Equipment Health Checks: Tracks how well parts are working to plan maintenance
How It Works With Different Cooling Types
Smart controls help with all cooling methods:
Liquid Cooling Management
- Flow Control: Makes sure coolant moves properly to all equipment
- Perfect Temperatures: Keeps coolant at ideal temperatures
- Leak Watching: Look for fluid problems to protect your servers
Air Cooling Control
- Air Balance: Adjusts air conditioners based on actual needs
- Containment Check: Makes sure hot and cold air stay separate
- Fan Speed Control: Uses only the fan power needed for cooling
Mixed System Management
- Smart Distribution: Shares cooling work between liquid and air systems
- Automatic Switching: Changes between cooling types based on conditions
- One Control Point: Gives you one place to control all cooling systems

Computer Room Air Handling Units FAQ
How do smart controls save energy in data centers?
Smart controls match cooling exactly to what you need. They adjust fan speeds, coolant flow, and temperatures based on real-time conditions. This stops overcooling and wasted energy. Most data centers save 15-30% on energy after adding these controls.
Can these systems handle both liquid and air cooling?
Yes! Modern control systems excel at running mixed cooling setups. They coordinate liquid systems (pumps, flow rates) with air systems (air conditioners, fans) through one interface. This helps these different systems work together instead of fighting each other.
What should a good control system monitor?
Good systems track temperatures in many places (air, water, servers), check flow rates in liquid systems, measure power use, watch for leaks, and look for unusual patterns. The best ones show real-time dashboards, send alerts, and keep history logs of trends.
Is it hard to add advanced controls to an existing data center?
Installing control systems usually causes minimal disruption. The process typically involves adding sensors, installing control boxes, connecting to existing systems, and setting up software. Our step-by-step approach minimizes impact while quickly delivering energy savings.
What new features are coming to cooling control systems?
The newest controls include machine learning to predict maintenance needs, cooling that adjusts based on expected workloads, automatic responses to power company events, and links to IT systems to coordinate cooling with computing. These advances further improve efficiency while reducing risks.
