Green Introduces Innovative Energy-Efficient Cooling System for Data Centers
Efficient Cooling as a Key Element
Data center operators are constantly searching for ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs. Green, a prominent data center provider in Switzerland, has made significant strides in this area with the development of a new water-cooled pump drive. Designed by Andrea Luigi Campomilla, Chief Operating Officer at Green, this innovative system offers 15% more efficiency compared to traditional air-cooled systems.
Green’s commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability is evident in every aspect of their data center design. From the initial planning phase, the focus is on optimizing thermal and energy performance. The cooling infrastructure is designed to be flexible, adapting to varying power densities and ensuring that the cooling technology is utilized efficiently at all times. The result is a sustainable system that combines high performance with energy efficiency, setting a new standard in the industry.
In-House Development in Switzerland
The newly developed pump drive integrates motor, frequency converter, and pump into a compact and efficient design. The motor features direct water cooling through a specially designed pipe system, while the frequency converter is mounted on a heat-dissipating carrier plate. The benefits of this system are numerous: lower maintenance requirements, reduced noise levels, and a higher return temperature that improves heat dissipation into the heating network. Most importantly, the new motor design saves 15% of energy for the drive, making it a game-changer in energy-efficient cooling solutions.
In June 2025, four pump drives were installed in Data Center M on the Metro-Campus Zurich, marking a significant milestone in Green’s commitment to cutting-edge technology. With plans to implement the new pump drive as the standard in all Green data centers, Andrea Luigi Campomilla emphasizes the company’s dedication to continuous improvement and innovation.
