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.
How It Works
Nostromo’s IceBrick® system integrates into the chilled water loop alongside air-cooled chillers, providing thermal storage that shifts cooling load across operating hours. These ice batteries discharge during ambient peak times of day and recharge at night when ambient temps are low. This shaves peak cooling loads ensuring overall data center PUE is reduced, especially during design day conditions.
This simple, yet elegant upgrade frees up more power for computing while improving resilience.
The compact and modular IceBrick® packs powerful benefits
Increase IT Capacity
Increase power and cooling capacity by shifting loads and improving efficiency
Resilience
Energy storage that protects against both power and cooling failure (your N+X)
Savings
Charge when power is cheap, discharge when power is expensive, or negotiate low-cost PPAs
Cut Emissions
Shift demand to clean power sources
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.
