No more wasted energy in your data center with Pressure Independent Control Valves from FlowCon
Are you facing huge energy surges in your data center?
Did you know that with the correct PICV concept, you can control room temperature and ensure proper cooling distribution with minimal energy consumption in your data center?
FlowCon’s Pressure Independent Control Valves make it possible.
Achieve this and more with FlowCon’s pioneering PICV technology, designed to optimize your data center’s cooling efficiency effortlessly.
Increase up time and lifespan in your data center with precise cooling
Data centers are the backbone of the digital world.
They house servers and equipment that generate significant amounts of heat.
Efficient cooling systems are critical to prevent overheating, ensuring reliable running time, and prolong the lifespan of the hardware.
This is where our PICV concept becomes important.
Modern data centers, especially those supporting AI applications, require precise cooling to operate efficiently, thus making the cooling demands more crucial.
What once required simple cold air circulation, now needs precise cooling down to the chip level.
This shift highlights the importance of innovative cooling solutions in your data center using chilled fluids whether this being direct to chip, rear door heat exchangers, CRAC-units, fan walls, row cooling or something else. Our valve technology offers innovative and flexible solutions, providing the precise control necessary to always maintain efficient and reliable cooling in your data center. We also have valves suitable for fuel control to the UPS systems and HVAC control in plant rooms and for cooling towers.
The origins of FlowCon’s PICV valves
Our PICV valves, developed through decades of innovation, are specifically designed to address the growing cooling demands of data centers. With precise temperature control, our valves prevent overheating, optimize energy use, and support sustainability goals, all while ensuring reliable performance. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or building a new one, our valves provide the control and efficiency needed to keep your data center running at its best.
Commonly, power usage effectiveness (PUE) is 1.6 or higher at 80% load. But that can be significantly reduced with FlowCon PICVs
Our solution isn’t just a shelf item
FlowCon’s PICV technology is designed to be compact and easy to adjust from the outside, without the need to remove the valve from the system.
The flexible design allows for the internal components of the valves to be swapped out to handle different capacities.
Unlike traditional valves, our PICV technology is independent of load caused pressure changes. This ensures consistent performance regardless of external factors.
By implementing our PICV technology, you future-proof your cooling system, ensuring it can meet growing demands efficiently and sustainably.
eBay reduced energy costs and carbon footprint and increased reliability and efficency with PICV technology from FlowCon
eBay’s Utah data center, the largest site for Bloom Energy fuel cells and solar generation, needed precise flow balance and temperature control. FlowCon SM valves were implemented supporting 4 core essentials: reliability, efficiency, cost and sustainability.
Our range of PICVs includes:
