Summary
- The customised dry cooler is rated at 568kW and uses water as its cooling medium.
- The unit combines copper tubing, epoxy-coated aluminium fins, and a stainless-steel frame.
- The customer and data centre location have not been identified by the supplier.
Cooling-equipment supplier VENTTK has supplied a customised 568kW industrial dry cooler for an unnamed data centre project in Belgium.
The unit uses water as its cooling medium and has been designed for Belgium’s 400V, three-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.
VENTTK said the heat exchanger uses copper tubes, epoxy-resin anti-corrosion aluminium fins, and a stainless-steel frame. The combination is intended to increase resistance to humidity and corrosion while maintaining continuous heat rejection under data centre operating loads.
The supplier has not named the customer, facility, site location, total data centre capacity, or the number of cooling units involved. That limits the development to an equipment-delivery story rather than a wider capacity announcement.
Dry coolers reject heat to outdoor air through finned heat exchangers and fans. In data centre applications they can form part of chilled-water, direct-liquid-cooling, or other heat-rejection architectures, depending on water temperatures and the wider mechanical design.
The 568kW rating gives a useful indication of the scale of the individual unit but not of the thermal load of the complete facility. Multiple units may be installed for capacity, redundancy, or phased expansion, while operating output also depends on ambient conditions and design temperatures.
VENTTK said the equipment has been configured for matched water circulation and stable heat exchange. The supplier also highlighted the corrosion-resistant materials as part of the design.
Those details are increasingly relevant as data centres carry higher thermal loads for longer periods. The move toward denser compute does not eliminate the need for external heat rejection: even where liquid is used to remove heat from chips and racks, that energy must ultimately be transferred out of the facility.
Dry-cooling systems can reduce reliance on evaporative water consumption at the heat-rejection stage, although actual water use depends on the complete cooling architecture rather than the dry cooler alone.
The Belgian project gives VENTTK a European reference for a data centre-specific unit. With the customer undisclosed, the next useful information would be operating temperatures, redundancy arrangement, seasonal performance, and how the cooler fits into the site’s broader thermal chain.
