Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly asked questions

Immersion Cooling Professionals

Partner-Focused

CTO-Focused

What exactly does Uravu’s system do for an immersion-cooled data center?

Uravu’s FromAir® solution uses waste heat from the immersion coolant loop (30–65°C) to

1) Drive water generation from air through a liquid desiccant cycle

2) Thermally cool the coolant loop, reducing reliance on chillers, cooling towers, or dry coolers

It converts unavoidable heat rejection into cooling + fresh water.

Is Uravu meant to replace immersion cooling systems?

Uravu does not replace immersion cooling. It integrates after the immersion loop, replacing the facility cooling infrastructure (chillers, cooling towers, dry coolers), not the server cooling system.

Does Uravu work with single-phase, two-phase, and tank-level immersion architectures?

Yes. Uravu only requires the heat from the coolant loop, not the coolant itself. It works with: - Single-phase immersion - Two-phase immersion - Hybrid liquid cooling systems - CDU/HDX architectures As long as a warm water loop (30–65°C) is available, Uravu integrates seamlessly.

What temperatures does Uravu need from the hot loop?

Uravu’s reactor performs best with: - Inlet temperature: 40–65°C - Return temperature: 25–40°C Lower-grade heat (30-35°C) can still be utilized with minor derating.

Does Uravu reduce dependence on chillers?

Yes. In many climates, Uravu can fully replace chillers. In hotter zones, Uravu significantly reduces chiller runtime and energy demand. Chiller load reductions of 10–80%+ are typical.

How does the system perform in high ambient temperatures?

Performance remains stable even in: - 40–50°C climates - High humidity or low humidity - Heatwave periods - Tropical or arid regions The absorber operates from 20–99% RH, making it suitable for all geographies.

Modular capacity—how does scaling work?

Each Uravu module handles 150 kW of heat and produces: 3,000 litres/day of water Scaling is linear: - 1 module → 150 kW → 3,000 LPD - 10 modules → 1.5 MW → 30,000 LPD - 30 modules → 4.5 MW → 90,000 LPD Modules can be deployed in parallel for multi-MW data centers.

Does the water produced interact with the immersion fluid?

No. Uravu’s water output is isolated, high-quality distilled water. It does not interact with cooling fluid, nor is it used inside the server tanks.

What can immersion data centers do with the produced water?

Common uses: - Mechanical plant usage - Humidification - Cleaning/maintenance water - Drinking water (after mineralization) - Green cover - Supply to external buyers (revenue stream) Excess water often makes facilities water-positive.

Is the water production affected by immersion coolant material?

No. Uravu never contacts the coolant. We only use the heat rejected through heat exchangers.

Is Uravu compatible with CDU systems?

Yes. Uravu connects on the facility side of the CDU or directly to the warm-water loop. Interconnect points: - Post-CDU warm loop -Pre-dry cooler / chiller - Secondary loop

How does Uravu impact PUE and WUE?

Uravu reduces chiller/dry cooler load → lowers total facility power → lower PUE. WUE

Uravu requires zero water input and produces water → negative WUE (first in the world).

How does the liquid desiccant work and is it safe?

Uravu uses a proprietary desiccant that is: - Chemically stable - Non-volatile - Lasts 10+ years - Functions across humidity ranges (20–99%) No hazardous material handling is required.

What is the electrical consumption of the system?

Uravu consumes significantly less energy than chillers because it uses heat as the primary input. Electricity demand is limited to pumps, fans, sensors, and auxiliaries. Typical consumption is 60–80% lower than equivalent chilling capacity.

What is the footprint for deployment?

A typical 150 kW module occupies: - ~15 m² footprint - Outdoor containerized format available (20 ft) Multi-module arrays can be arranged like battery energy storage systems.

Does Uravu work in cold climates?

Works in all climates, including: - Cold (free-cooling periods) - Temperate - Arid - Humid - Tropical In cold climates, facilities use free cooling in winter and Uravu the rest of the year.

Can Uravu integrate with existing chiller plants?

Yes. Hybrid configurations are common: - Uravu + Free Cooling - Uravu + Dry Coolers - Uravu + Cooling Towers (only for redundancy) Reduces need for large chiller farms.

What maintenance does the system require?

Low maintenance: - Quarterly filter changes - Annual vacuum system check - Pump/valve inspection - LD health check (minimal degradation) No water treatment or chemical dosing required.

What is the expected lifespan?

Modules are designed for 15–20 years of operational life with minimal degradation.

Is the cost of cooling comparable to alternatives?

Yes, Uravu delivers: - Lower lifetime OPEX - Water revenue stream - Negative WUE - ESG credits - No water procurement/treatment costs This makes total cost of cooling dramatically lower.

Can Uravu serve as the primary cooling system?

For many climates: Yes. For extreme peaks: Uravu + free cooling or Uravu + small auxiliary chiller ensures resilience.

Does the system introduce IT risk?

Zero risk. No water or desiccant enters the IT space. Heat exchangers and loop plumbing follow standard data center practices (ASHRAE, ISO).

What is the deployment timeline?

Single pilot module: 6–8 weeks - 1 MW modular array: 12–16 weeks - Commissioning: typically 7–10 days - Plug-and-play, containerized options available.

What certifications does the system meet?

-ISO water quality - ASHRAE thermal guidelines - Local electrical, safety, and environmental codes (region-specific) - CE/UL compliance possible depending on region

How does Uravu compare to dry coolers?

Dry coolers provide zero WUE but increase PUE. - Uravu provides: - Zero water input - Negative WUE - Lower PUE - Lower OPEX - Water as a by-product - Works in hot climates where dry coolers struggle

What exactly does Uravu offer for data centers?

Uravu provides an Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) + Thermal Recovery system that uses waste heat from data centers (including immersion cooling loops) to: - Generate water from air - Reduce chiller load - Provide supplemental cooling - Improve water sustainability credentials This enables partners to offer regenerative cooling as an add-on to their existing immersion or liquid cooling solutions.

How does Uravu complement immersion cooling?

Immersion cooling produces a warm water loop that normally requires chillers or dry coolers. Uravu uses this same warm loop to: - Produce water from the atmosphere - Pre-cool the loop - Reduce peak load on chillers Partners can position Uravu as an energy-saving + water-regenerative enhancement to immersion deployments.

What’s the typical size of the system?

A 150 kW Uravu module fits in a footprint of ~14.9 m² (8 ft × 20 ft). Higher capacities can be modularly stacked.

Ideal data center profile?
