Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing.Data centers use an enormous amount of power and water and generate a lot of heat. Estimates place U.S. data center power use around 183 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, or 4% of all annual power use in the U.S. As racks of servers do their computing work, some aisles can reach over 100°F (37.7°C). A reliable, durable cooling system is essential to avoid the devastating consequences of downtime.
Corzan® Material and Piping Solutions sets the bar for the thermoplastic industry. It is backed by 60 years of success in a wide array of applications worldwide, including corrosion-resistant, nearly maintenance-free data center piping.
A Solution the Data Center Industry Trusts
Corzan CPVC is carefully engineered to handle higher temperatures at higher pressures than many other plastics. The material is inherently corrosion-resistant, has very low thermal conductivity and never uses plasticizers that can leach into dielectric coolants, making it the superior choice for data centers. Corzan CPVC has been tested to ensure performance even under varying pressures, exceeding ASTM 441 pressure requirements even at joints and ASTM D1598 for long-term, high-temperature pressure testing.
Corzan CPVC can be designed and installed in a dual-containment configuration to virtually eliminate leak risk or with a lower cost tray-type system. The material also has a proven record of success in chilled water and condenser water loops, cooling distribution systems, chemical dosing systems and mechanical rooms.
In any form, Corzan CPVC surpasses other materials in performance and cost for:
- Low thermal conductivity, avoiding condensation as ambient temperature fluctuates
- Withstanding mechanical and thermal stresses
- Use with many dielectric fluids chosen for data center cooling, with data available to check compatibility against over 500 chemicals and compounds
- Corrosion and scale resistance, keeping cooling water free of impurities
- A lower potential for microbial growth and biofilm formation compared to metals
