how it works

The Cooling Revolution

Zerocool is built around one powerful principle: using excess heat to generate cold. At the center of our solution is an adsorption chiller. Everything else supports and amplifies this core process.

From Waste Heat to Active Cooling

The entire Zerocool cooling solution for AI data centers is powered by thermal energy; the more heat, the stronger the cooling. In the data center, the electricity is completely converted into heat via the new AI servers (CPU's / GPU'S). As these computers generate very high temperatures, in some cases up to 70 / 80°C, this heat must be dissipated via a liquid coolant. This liquid and the energy bound in it serve as the motor for cooling.

At the heart of zerocool lies a simple idea: instead of letting thermal energy go to waste, we use it to drive a process that produces chilled water for cooling.

At the core of the zerocool system is the adsorption chiller, powered by heat instead of electricity.

Our system captures 100% of the computing waste heat and uses it to cover approximately 70% of the thermal energy needed to operate the adsorption chiller. The remaining 30% is supplemented by external solar thermal collectors.

In addition to other integration benefits, the cold district heating network serves as a stable recooling source for the adsorption chiller.

we generate two dedicated cooling streams:

  • One for 100% of the server heat loads
  • One additional stream covering up to 50% of auxiliary cooling demand

Zerocool’s patented system seamlessly combines
SorCool adsorption chillers with Heatventors’ thermal storage systems into a sustainable cooling solution tailored for AI data centers.
