AI Data Centers Get a Backup Power Boost with Outdoor Liquid Cooling Cabinets

AI is advancing rapidly, demanding more power each day. To keep up, data centers are working harder than ever—and consuming massive amounts of energy. But what happens if the power fails? That’s why backup power systems are critical. Without them, AI operations can come to a halt, leading to serious disruptions. So, how can we make things more reliable?

Innovative solutions are emerging. These new approaches help data centers operate more efficiently while reducing energy use. One example is outdoor liquid cooling, which not only keeps systems cool but also frees up valuable indoor space. Could this mean a smarter, safer future for AI? Possibly – especially with smarter power and cooling strategies in place.

The Heat is On: Challenges of Modern Data Centers

AI Systems Produce High Heat

AI data centers handle many tasks every day. These tasks use a lot of energy. They also create a large amount of heat. This heat quickly builds up inside equipment. It adds stress to power systems. High heat can make systems slow down or fail completely. Keeping data centers cool is becoming difficult because of this.

Older Cooling Systems Fall Short

Traditional cooling methods were made for lighter tasks. They often use fans or basic air cooling. Now, AI workloads need much more cooling. Older systems cannot keep up. They have limits. These cooling systems must work harder than before. Backup power units also face trouble. They were not built for such high demands. They sometimes fail when they are needed most.

Downtime and Heat Cause Problems

If cooling or backup systems fail, problems happen quickly. Data centers might shut down completely. This downtime stops important services. It can lead to lost information or money. Overheating can also damage expensive hardware. Repairing or replacing parts costs a lot. Preventing these problems is important. Data centers must avoid downtime and overheating as much as possible.

Meet the Hero: Outdoor Liquid Cooling Cabinets

What is Outdoor Liquid Cooling?

Outdoor liquid cooling cabinets are special cooling systems. They stand outside data centers. These cabinets use liquids, such as water or coolant, to remove heat. The liquid flows around the hot parts of machines. It then carries the heat away quickly. This keeps equipment at safe temperatures. Outdoor liquid cooling works better and faster than traditional cooling methods.

CNTE‘s Smart Solution

CNTE offers advanced outdoor liquid cooling cabinets. We use special battery solutions CATL LFP battery cells. These batteries are strong and reliable. CNTE cabinets use smart liquid cooling methods. They can provide from 206 kWh up to 4 MWh of storage power. CNTE designs and sells these systems for commercial and industrial use. They help customers in power generation, power grids, and user-side operations.

CATL LFP: More Stable and Safer

CATL LFP batteries have important advantages. They are safer than many other battery types. They do not easily overheat. This makes them more stable during heavy use. They also last longer. CNTE pairs these batteries with liquid cooling systems. Together, they make a strong solution. Data centers become safer and more reliable with this combined technology.

CNTE‘s STAR T: Double Duty – Cooling Meets Backup Power

Flexible Use for Many Needs

CNTE’s STAR T system can handle different energy storage needs. Users can choose between 0.5P or 1P setups. The system is stored in a 20 ft standard container. Each container can hold from 5 to 10 battery racks. The maximum storage capacity goes up to 4MWh. It can supply power from 1 hour to 4 hours based on needs.

Extra Safe with Fire Protection

CNTE places safety as a top concern. The system has four levels of fire protection. It has a precision fire alarm system. The alarms can quickly tell exactly where the problem is. The system checks for insulation problems all the time. This means it can find issues before they become dangerous. This real-time monitoring makes the system safer at all times.

Standard and Reliable Design

The STAR T system uses a standardized 20 ft container. This design makes it easy to set up anywhere. Users have options between 5 and 10 battery racks. It supports power needs from 1 to 4 hours. Its standard design also improves system performance. CNTE’s storage systems achieve up to 93% RTE (Round-Trip Efficiency). The AC available capacity reaches 94%.

Smart Liquid Cooling System

The system uses smart liquid cooling. It can refill coolant automatically. It keeps temperature differences around 4℃. This cooling system keeps batteries safe from overheating. It has a smart Energy Management System (EMS). EMS controls the power carefully. It also connects to a cloud platform. Users can check the system status online at any time.

Long-lasting LFP Batteries

CNTE STAR T uses strong and long-lasting LFP batteries. The 285Ah battery type can run up to 9,000 cycles. The bigger 306Ah battery type lasts even longer, up to 10,000 cycles. These batteries are safe and stable. They do not heat up easily. This makes them a good choice for data centers and industrial uses.

Green & Smart: Sustainable Innovation

Less Energy, Less Carbon

Outdoor liquid cooling saves energy. It helps data centers use less power for cooling. When cooling uses less energy, it creates less carbon. This means fewer harmful gases go into the air. Data centers become cleaner places. This cooling method is better for the environment.

Helps Green Operations

More data centers today want to be eco-friendly. Outdoor liquid cooling helps reach this goal. Using less energy helps data centers protect the environment. It reduces total power use. Users can meet green goals more easily. This makes their operations more sustainable.

Smart Checks Save Energy

The cooling system has smart monitoring tools. These tools can check system health all the time. They find small problems early. This allows repairs before the system breaks down. Smart monitoring helps predict what maintenance is needed. It also saves energy. It helps systems run smoothly and safely.
