Cooling is one of the most pressing pain points for data centers. As IT loads climb, so do costs forcing operators to choose between higher OPEX or limiting the power available for workloads. Imagine the difference if you could dedicate more electricity to AI, cloud, and computing and less to chillers. At the same time, sustainability targets are demanding new solutions. Adoption of zero global warming potential cooling technologies represents not only an environmental win, but also a financial one. This is where collaboration matters. For chiller manufacturers, the chance to co-develop fuel cell + absorption chiller systems opens the door to a new class of solutions for the data center industry. The potential benefits include: · Up to $70,000-$150,000 in annual OPEX savings per MW of capacity* · Reduction of .1–.2 MW in cooling power demand per MW of compute · Ability to dedicate more power to workloads instead of chillers · 4,000 tons of CO₂ reduction per year (per 10 MW), cooling tower solution is up to 9000 tons per 10 MW · Options for water-free cooling with zero global warming potential At HyAxiom, Inc., we advance stationary fuel cell technology to power, heat, and cool data centers more efficiently, delivering reliable performance while helping operators meet their sustainability goals. We’re excited to connect with both data center operators and chiller partners to shape the next generation of efficient, sustainable cooling. Want to talk chillers and fuel cell integration at Yotta 2025? Reach out to Martin Zabel on LinkedIn to secure a meeting in advance. We look forward to seeing you there. * Savings calculated based on an electricity cost of $0.10/kWh. #DataCenters #AI #StationaryFuelCells #Chillers #HyAxiom
Fuel cell exhaust heat to power an absorption chiller tying into the facility chilled water loop! Nice!
This could make an interesting technical presentation at CxEnergy 2026 Conference & Expo, the premier event in #commissioning, #building #technology, and #energy management (April 21-24, Chicago, IL). Consider submitting an abstract at https://www.cxenergy.com/call-for-abstracts/
