Make every kilowatt count with heat reuse for data centers
By reusing excess heat, data centers can lower operating costs, cut emissions, and contribute to grid stability.
Heat reuse transforms what was once wasted energy into value. With the right equipment, data centers can:
- Lower ERE (Energy Reuse Effectiveness), PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), and CUE (Carbon Usage Effectiveness)
- Offset local heating demand for nearby facilities
- Support grid stability by reducing peak loads
- Reduce environmental impact
Indirect heat recovery
Heat is transferred from the data center’s cooling loop to an external network, such as district heating, through a heat exchanger. This method is straightforward and effective when there is consistent demand for heating nearby.
- Transfers excess heat directly to local heating systems
- Lower system complexity, fewer moving parts
- Best for sites near district heating infrastructure
