Solutions for manufacturers of cooling technology Energy-intensive systems, heat dissipation and real-time monitoring are key challenges for cooling in data centers. Phoenix Contact offers scalable solutions for maximum security of supply, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Increasing demands on data center cooling
Cooling accounts for up to 40% of energy costs in data centers, which corresponds to approx. 3% of global electricity consumption. The EU requires a PUE of less than 1.3 by 2030. New technologies such as liquid and immersion cooling require intelligent automation.
Phoenix Contact addresses key challenges of cooling system manufacturers with solutions in the following areas:
- Power Reliability
- Energy management
- Automation technology
- Connection technology
Our technologies in cooling technology
Reliable power supply for stable cooling
Uninterrupted cooling is crucial for the safe operation of data centers. Power failures, voltage fluctuations, or surges voltages can paralyze cooling systems and lead to costly downtime. Phoenix Contact offers comprehensive solutions for Power Reliability with surge protection, device protection, and power supply. In this way, we ensure the continuous supply of your cooling systems and minimize risks such as data loss or system downtime.
Precise measurement technology as the basis for efficient cooling
Precise monitoring is the key to optimizing cooling processes in data centers. Phoenix Contact offers a comprehensive monitoring ecosystem that ranges from compact energy meters and current transformers to cloud-enabled software. Our solutions enable real-time recording of current, voltage and power. They support the Modbus, PROFINET, and OPC UA protocols. Integration into existing systems is easy. Integration is also possible during ongoing operation. In this way, we create transparency, increase energy efficiency, and meet regulatory requirements such as ISO 50001 and PUE < 1.3.
Automation for intelligent cooling processes
We offer a comprehensive automation portfolio for the cooling infrastructure of data centers, from the field level to the control level. With modular control systems, preconfigured control cabinet solutions, and open interfaces (e.g., Modbus, PROFINET, OPC UA), we enable simple integration into existing BMS and EMS systems. Our solutions support decentralized automation, predictive maintenance, and real-time diagnostics for maximum system availability and energy efficiency. This not only makes your cooling technology more robust, but also future-proof.
Robust connectors for a modular cooling infrastructure
For reliable power distribution in data center cooling systems, Phoenix Contact offers a broad portfolio of data, signal, and power connectors, including heavy-duty connectors for demanding environments. The connectors enable quick mounting, reduce installation effort and improve cabling efficiency paired with a compact design. Optimized contact technology minimizes electrical resistance, resulting in lower energy losses and more sustainable operation.
