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.
A visual walkthrough of the zerocool principle.
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:
Zerocool’s patented system seamlessly combines
SorCool adsorption chillers with HeatVentors’ thermal storage systems into a sustainable cooling solution tailored for AI data centers.
From solar thermal collectors to PCM storage and a cold district heating loop — each element plays a distinct role in managing thermal flows efficiently, both seasonally and site-specifically.
This is where heat becomes cold.
The adsorption chiller is the core engine of zerocool.
Solar collectors & Cold District Heating Network provide sustainable energy to fully drive the cooling process.
Our hybrid storage setup combines pcm and concrete to store and release thermal energy as needed
