As data centers continue to grow, so does their environmental impact, particularly in terms of energy consumption and water usage for cooling systems. Traditionally, data centers rely on AC systems, which require multiple energy conversions, creating excess heat and a high demand for cooling. These cooling systems often rely heavily on water, especially in regions facing water scarcity, contributing to sustainability challenges.

Switching to DC distribution offers a more efficient solution. DC systems eliminate unnecessary power conversions, reducing energy losses and heat generation, thus requiring less cooling. This efficiency reduces the need for water-intensive cooling methods, like evaporative cooling towers, which are commonly used in AC-powered data centers. By operating at lower temperatures, DC systems can use passive or air-side cooling, which requires minimal water.

For data centers in water-scarce regions, this shift is especially valuable, as it helps conserve local water resources. By reducing both energy and water consumption, DC distribution provides a sustainable pathway for the digital infrastructure industry, helping mitigate its environmental footprint.

In conclusion, DC distribution not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces water usage, making it a key solution for more sustainable data centers in the future.
