Microstaq - Innovations that flow

Data centers run 24/7 often in poorly ventilated spaces. Without proper cooling, servers can fail. With proper cooling, electricity costs for air conditioning often exceed 50% of operating costs, and can reach 100x¹ the typical energy costs of similar sized buildings. An average 1MW, 10,000 ft² data center has annual energy costs approaching $875,000, with an average of 40% attributed to cooling¹ - about $350,000 worth. Reducing cooling energy use by just 15% can yield $52,000 in savings directly to the bottom line of the data center.

Microstaq’s Silicon Expansion Valve (SEV) and Super Heat Controller (SHC) based superheat control system improves not only energy efficiency in data center applications, but increases compressor life as well. Tight, repeatable superheat control ensures that liquid does not reach the compressor, while also increasing efficiency of the evaporator. Simply put: precise super heat control helps the compressor run less, increases system efficiency, and prolongs system life, protecting the information being hosted at a data center.
