Cost Comparison: 100 MW Air-Cooled vs. Liquid Immersion Cooled Datacenter

Executive Summary

Based on comprehensive research, liquid immersion cooling offers significant advantages over traditional air cooling for 100 MW datacenter deployments. The analysis reveals a potential cost savings of approximately $350 million in capital expenditure, a 60.9% reduction in building footprint, 40.3% lower energy consumption, and near elimination (net zero) of water usage. These findings have important implications for government datacenter projects seeking to optimize resources while reducing environmental impact.
