Recovering waste heat and turning it into electricity and thermal energy
The recent trend in IT is for datacenters to collect a lot more data. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, cybersecurity, and weather models are just some of the things that are driving up the need for energy-intensive applications in these buildings. More than half of the electricity that is used to power data centers is used to cool and control the temperature. DaTEGTM is an adaptable system that can lower the amount of power used by the server or improve the performance of the CPU or GPU. DaTEGTM can be set up to work in two different ways. The first one (power saving mode) saves the most power overall at the server level, while the second one lets you run in turbo boost mode for longer without risking your CPU overheating (overclock mode). GemaTEG has also made an innovative system that gives off both heat and electricity. In contrast to most systems for getting energy from the sun, which are not only inefficient but can also quickly get too hot, CentraTEGTM combines thermoelectric technology with a concentration tube to make a system that is both safe and very effective. The system is based on mature concentration tube technology and a dedicated integration of TEG modules that can generate extra electrical energy through a dedicated control unit.
Positive facts about DaTEG & CentraTEG
Cooling CPU below 60°C independently from the work load (DaTEG)
Co-generate electrical energy together with thermal energy with an overall efficiency of over 70% (CentraTEG)
Reduction of CPU power consumption up to 20%, while increasing computing power up to 40% (DaTEG)
Reduction of 30% in the number of servers needed, resulting in a decrease in energy consumption reduction
Absence of harmful elements like lead, chrome, cadmium, gallium, selenium and indium in both DaTEG and CentraTEG
The standard module of 4.6 square meters of GemaTEG provides thermal energy replacing the need of a yearly quantity of 369 cubic meters that produces 701 Kg of CO2.
CentraTEG is designed to reduce the payback time where feed-in tariff on solar installation becomes negligible
DaTEG will have a total cost after industrialization phase estimated to be 50% lower than equivalent solutions
CentraTEG will have pay-back period comparable to PV systems but without energy loss and cleaning/maintenance expenses
