Shumate Engineering Revolutionizes Data Center Cooling with HDAC Design

In a groundbreaking development for the data center industry, Shumate Engineering has unveiled its innovative Hybrid-Dry/Adiabatic-Cooling (HDAC) design, a solution that promises to drastically reduce power and water consumption in data centers. Presented at AFCOM’s Data Center World conference, the HDAC system combines wet and dry cooling techniques within a closed loop, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional cooling methods. With the data center industry facing unprecedented demand due to the rise of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, Shumate Engineering's design could not have come at a better time. The system has already proven its efficacy in tests conducted at Baltimore Aircoil Company's facility, meeting all design requirements and showcasing significant savings in natural resources and operational costs.

The HDAC design, spearheaded by Daren Shumate and R. Stephen Spinazzola, represents a leap forward in cooling technology, capable of reducing power usage by half and water consumption by 90% compared to conventional systems. This innovation is particularly relevant as the industry grapples with the environmental and financial implications of cooling high-density data centers. With patents pending and a successful demonstration under its belt, Shumate Engineering is poised to revolutionize the way data centers manage their cooling needs, offering a scalable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution.
