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.

Cooling technology for data centers
Cooling system

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


Cooling system with control cabinet

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.

EMpro energy measuring device at the control cabinet

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.

Cooling infrastructure with control cabinet

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.

Cooling system

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.
