  • Optimized Performance

    Magnation improves heat transfer efficiency, helping reduce chiller lift and lower overall Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Enhanced flow characteristics and reduced water viscosity also decrease friction loss, allowing systems to operate more efficiently while lowering pump energy consumption. The result is a more stable, high-performing cooling system critical for data center uptime.

    Sustainability & Safety

    Magnation eliminates the need for harsh chemicals while maintaining proper pH balance and controlling biological growth. This creates a safer environment for operations teams while reducing regulatory complexity. At the same time, higher cycles of concentration significantly reduce makeup water usage—supporting ESG goals with measurable gains in water conservation and overall sustainability.

    Operational Savings

    Improved system efficiency and water quality translate directly into cost savings. Lower energy demand from chillers and pumps, combined with reduced water consumption, drives meaningful reductions in operating expenses. With fast, inline installation and minimal disruption to 24/7 operations, Magnation delivers immediate value without downtime or costly system interruptions.

Data Center Cooling FAQs

What is chemical-free water treatment for data centers?

Chemical-free water treatment is an advanced approach to data center water efficiency that eliminates the need for traditional chemicals like biocides and scale inhibitors. Magnation uses hydrodynamic cavitation technology to condition water, preventing scale, controlling biological growth, and stabilizing pH. This supports cooling tower optimization by improving heat transfer and reducing maintenance.

How much water can Magnation save in cooling towers?

Magnation improves cooling tower optimization by increasing cycles of concentration, allowing systems to reuse water more efficiently. Data centers typically achieve 20% to 50% water savings, depending on system conditions, improving overall data center water efficiency and reducing operating costs.

Does Magnation work with liquid cooling systems?

Yes, Magnation is compatible with liquid cooling systems including direct-to-chip and immersion cooling. It enhances heat transfer, reduces fouling, and maintains cleaner system water, supporting efficient and reliable data center cooling optimization.

What is the ROI for installing Magnation in a data center?

The ROI for Magnation typically ranges from 6 to 18 months, driven by reduced water usage, elimination of chemical costs, lower energy consumption, and decreased maintenance. It also supports long-term gains in system reliability and ESG performance.
