Applied Digital Corporation announced a partnership with BASX, a subsidiary of AAON, Inc., to deploy a customized free cooling chiller system at its Ellendale, North Dakota campus, known as Polaris Forge 1. This collaboration focuses on advanced cooling innovation for purpose-built AI data centers.
The bespoke chiller system is optimized for cold-climate operation, designed to reduce power demand and require zero water consumption. This is crucial for handling the extreme power density of modern AI servers, which demand 15 to 30 times the power density of traditional data centers.
This technological enhancement supports NVIDIA liquid-cooled GPUs and aims to maximize energy efficiency and sustainability. The partnership underscores Applied Digital's commitment to providing highly efficient infrastructure that minimizes energy waste associated with cooling, contributing to ultra-low operating costs for customers.
