IIT Bombay’s Deep Seawater Cooling Could Slash Data Center Energy Use by 79%
By Isha
Researchers at IIT Bombay have devised a Deep Seawater Cooling (DSWC) methodology that channels cold ocean water to data centers, delivering an impressive 79% reduction in energy use and carbon emissions, with a payback period of just eight months. Their 11-step feasibility framework factors in pipeline design, insulation, flow rates, and local oceanography in coastal regions like the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The system offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional cooling methods.
