Protect uptime, optimize performance, and reduce environmental impact.

Intelligent water management and water cooling systems are at the heart of data centers, and they play a vital role in reducing environmental impact. As demand increases, so do demands on reliability, efficiency, and responsible resource use, and you can count on Duff Co. as a key supplier to help meet those goals.

Take a deeper look at how you can meet performance, sustainability and uptime goals with these intelligent solutions. Explore technologies for cooling, treatment, and water and heat reuse, with a proven track record.

Cooling

For a typical data center, cooling alone can account for up to 38% of a data center’s energy use, creating a pressing need for systems that improve efficiency, cut costs, and reduce environmental impact.

We help design advanced cooling systems that deliver consistent performance and balance energy efficiency and reliability, even under fluctuating loads. Our innovative pump solutions integrate seamlessly, offering precise variable-speed operation, fast ramp-up and changeover capabilities as well as intelligent monitoring to minimize energy waste and water consumption. With Grundfos, you can help your customers meet sustainability goals while ensuring optimal performance and uptime in even the most demanding environments.

Water Treatment

Reduce chemical & filter costs by up to 70%.

Efficient solutions for sourcing, distributing, treating and discharging water all contribute to optimizing your center’s PUE and WUE. Grundfos solutions keep water flowing efficiently around air or liquid cooling systems through an array of intelligent pumps and sensors. And monitoring of typical water quality parameters as well as precise control of chemicals and disinfection or pH adjustment is essential for water treatment processes.

Chemicals and Dosing

• Complete dosing skids tailored to your application, available as a complete package with all necessary pipework, valves and dosing pumps. We can deliver standardized packaged systems or build custom systems to your specifications.
• Digital Dosing™ solutions ensure precise, chemical-saving dosing of pH regulation chemicals as well as flocculation and anti-scaling / anti-fouling aids.
• Oxiperm® compact chlorine dioxide preparation solution disinfection in cooling systems, warm water cycles, and in combating legionella.
• Hydro Protect plug-and-play solution combines the benefits of a disinfection with a booster system.

System Integration and Monitoring

• System integration into BMS & SCADA systems, with fewer field cables, easier data point mapping, and data communication via open and interoperable networks.
• Grundfos offers the DIT hand-held photometer, and the online measuring and control system DID for full integration with digital communication and data logging.
• The chemical management app makes regulatory compliance reporting easy with cloud-based and automated functions.

Efficient Water Distribution

• Optimize energy savings by combining highly advanced controls and monitoring, such as the CU 352 control unit with highly efficient pumps like the Grundfos MPC system which offers constant pressure with advanced functionality for control.

Efficient water sourcing

• Whether water is sourced from lakes, rivers, rainwater, or municipal supply, Grundfos’ reliable and intelligent pumps and components harvest, treat and boost the water onwards.
• Harvesting systems can include cooling towers, evaporative coolers, rainwater tank systems, pumps and pressure boosters, and pump solutions for surface water intake from submersible and mixed flow pumps to efficient axial flow propellor pumps.

• Reliable firefighting and extinguishing systems through Grundfos FireConnect. This is the first cloud-based monitoring system that can detect a facility fire, alert personnel, and track its location and development.
• To achieve minimal downtime and waste water risk, Grundfos offers a full range of modular pumping stations – complete with necessary piping, valves, and level controls. We offer custom-designed systems with modular flexibility that adapts to your needs, and corrosion-free materials that make pumping stations service- and maintenance-friendly.

Sustainability

Water is the most essential resource on the planet. Without question, there is an urgent need for energy and water-efficient solutions. Yet to transition to a water-secure, net-zero future, the world faces several challenges. Amongst these are the need to move more water while using less energy, increase our resilience to the impacts of climate change, and improve access to water for all. Grundfos is committed to being part of the solution.
