Danfoss and Google announce strategic partnership on data centre energy efficiency
January 23, 2024 | By HPAC Magazine
The new agreement builds on an existing collaboration between the two companies, which were among the four founding members of the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers.
Danfoss and Google entered a strategic partnership to make use of the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and promote energy efficient solutions in data centres.
Under the partnership, Danfoss will use Google Cloud’s generative AI capabilities to optimize the customer experience, streamline internal work processes and improve productivity across the organization. This can be done, for example, by using gen AI to collect and surface information, automate knowledge, generate product descriptions, and create solutions with chatbots in e-commerce.
Danfoss is working with Google to implement sustainable cooling systems for data centres and to design systems that reuse the excess heat produced by data centers.
Danfoss’ heat reuse modules will make it possible for Google to capture and reuse heat produced by data centres, providing a renewable energy source to supply heating on site and to neighbouring commercial and residential buildings, communities, and industries that need heat for their processes.
The new agreement builds on an existing collaboration between the two companies, which were among the four founding members of the Net Zero Innovation Hub (along with Microsoft and Schneider Electric) in Fredericia, Denmark, announced in September, 2023.
