Facebook new moisture-absorbing cooling systems

Facebook has announced that it is preparing a new one cooling for data centers that can handle much more extreme conditions.
The system StatePoint Cooling (SPLC) of s developed by Nortek Air Solutions and allows Facebook to place data centers in places where direct cooling is not possible.Facebook

According to Facebook, the SPLC system can reduce water usage more than 20% in data centers in hot and humid climates and by 90% in cooler areas.

The comparisons of Facebook have as reference the previous indirect cooling systems. Facebook's instant cooling systems can reduce water usage by half compared to standard data centers.

The following list includes some details about the SPLC:

SPLC produces cold water instead of cold air.
Facebook and Nortek develop SPLC 2015.
The system a liquid-to-air energy exchanger where water is cooled as it evaporates through a separating membrane.
Cold water is used to cool the air in the data center.
The membrane prevents the “” between water and air currents and requires minimal maintenance.
SPLC has three functions used to optimize water and energy consumption based on external thermoe.g.
The system is designed in a way that simplifies piping in a data center.

One of the biggest advantages of the SPLC system is that it will allow Facebook to use more and more different sites for its data centers.

So while Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Google and many others compete for the best space to host data centers (often in the same locations), the largest social will be able to use alternative locations having better rates.
