T.Loop, a Swedish company, has announced that it has purchased a data center located in the middle of Stockholm. By 2024, the 800-sq-m building is expected to be upgraded and converted into a data energy center. The company did not provide any other details about the facility. T.Loop claims that this acquisition would greatly increase its data capacity with the establishment of its first Data Energy Center in northern Stockholm in December 2023. T.Loop, which specializes in the planning, construction, and management of Data Energy Centers (DEC), highlights the significance of purchasing pre-existing data centers as a vital part of its development strategy.
Energy MethodT.Loop said, “We see a lot of potential in this facility where we can make quick use of the current infrastructure and provide our customers with the center’s collocation services.” We also see favorable circumstances for recycling all of the heat produced in the data center to heat the land where it is situated.”T.Loop, formerly known as Therma Loop, claims to be introducing data centers, or data energy centers as the business refers to them, to a new energy strategy. These centers are placed “on the edge” of buildings whose heating needs coincide with surplus heat from the DEC.
Liquid-Based Cooling and Heat Recovery
T.Loop claims that its innovative idea harnesses residual heat to warm the site of the data hall while using liquid-based cooling for servers. The district heating network is another possible destination for this surplus heat. T.Loop gives priority to reusing a large amount of the current infrastructure when purchasing older data centers in order to lessen the data center’s impact on the environment without sacrificing the caliber of colocation services.
Circular Business
T. Loop addresses the influence on climate change by saying, “It’s critical to maximize resource utilization at all levels in a circular business model. We have made significant progress in reducing our climate footprint by installing our Data Energy Centers in already-existing structures and collecting leftover heat. However, we aim higher, therefore we’re always refining our idea to guarantee the least amount of environment effect based on scope 1-3.”
