Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) environments produce unprecedented heat densities. GPU-intensive operations demand consistent thermal stability — often beyond what traditional air-cooled systems can handle efficiently. Cooling towers, when paired with water-cooled or hybrid chillers, provide a proven method of rejecting this massive heat load while minimizing energy consumption and maintaining continuous uptime.
Whaley’s engineered cooling tower systems are designed to meet the demanding needs of AI and data center environments. By transferring heat to the atmosphere through an evaporative process, cooling towers dramatically improve system efficiency and lower operating costs compared to air-only solutions.
Key Advantages:
High Thermal Efficiency: Efficient heat rejection for high-load GPU environments.
Reduced Energy Usage: Lower compressor demand compared to air-cooled systems.
Scalable Performance: Modular configurations for expanding AI data halls.
Enhanced Reliability: Redundant pump and fan systems for 24/7 uptime.
Eco-Friendly Operation: Reduced refrigerant dependency and optimized water use.
Every AI cooling solution begins with system balance. Whaley’s engineering team designs complete chiller–tower integrations that ensure:
Proper approach temperatures between condenser water and ambient conditions.
Variable-speed control of pumps and fans for precise load matching.
Smart controls that coordinate tower and chiller operation for peak efficiency.
Compatibility with building management systems (BMS) and DCIM platforms.
The result: a synchronized cooling infrastructure capable of adapting to variable AI workloads while maintaining temperature stability within ±1°F.
Whether you’re designing a new AI facility or retrofitting an existing one, Whaley’s experts can help you integrate a water-cooled chiller and cooling tower system tailored to your load profile, footprint, and sustainability goals.
