Unlock IT Capacity and Increase Reliability
Driving Down Peak-PUE by levelizing cooling loads and increasing chiller plant efficiency
Every data center has 5–15% locked capacity tied to its design PUE. If you’re hitting the ceiling on grid or chiller capacity limits, IceBrick technology reclaims that stranded power for your compute.

Add significant compute without new grid connection
IceBrick can add up to 15% compute capacity above available power limit by shifting cooling demands from high- to low-PUE, unlocking power and efficiency. Unlock even more IT capacity when cooling capacity is the constraint. Download the Solutions Brief for details.
A safe, modular, and 100% recyclable way to maximize your compute power without the complexity of new permits. Start utilizing every watt of your total power capacity.

How It Works
The IceBrick® system releases stored cold energy during peak data center loads when power or cooling capacity is constrained, chiller efficiency is at its lowest and PUE is maxing out design specs. By supplying this cold energy, IceBrick lowers the data center’s Peak-PUE by reducing the cooling demand on the chillers and allowing any remaining load to be served at higher efficiency, with a lower kW/ton.
Together, these effects reduce Peak-PUE by cutting the power required for cooling and shifting cooling demand from daytime peaks to nighttime operation.
