Not enough power for your data center? Unlock 30% more power, without the wait, without wasting water and with ultra-clean emissions

The funds have been allocated, the AI chips have been secured, a tenant is waiting, but the power company comes back with “we’ll have all the power for your facility in 12 to 18 months”.   Finding a new location in time isn’t going to happen. What do you do then?

You could generate your own power, but turbines and switchgear take 2 to 3 years for delivery and another year to install. And do you have the staff in-house to run a complex power plant?

What if you could unlock power that was already there? In data centers, the cooling system is sized for the worst case, hottest day. This means 30% of the data center’s power is locked up because you never know when the cooling system will need to run a full load.  

What if you could move the cooling to natural gas whenever you wanted? Then all this electrical power need not to be committed to cooling any more. This means the data center is now much more profitable as the power can be used for computing.

Natural Gas, Electricity or Any Blend of Both

Tecogen has the only cooling system that can run on natural gas, electricity or both. One data center executive called this a ‘game-changer’ because data centers need to buy chillers anyway. Why not have one that increases profits?Two power sources also means peace of mind. Today, if the power goes out, electric cooling systems shut down. With Tecogen’s chiller, the cooling never stops. The chillers all come as standard with the company’s patented ultra-clean emissions system for easy air permits. They are also closed loop to avoid wasting water and quiet for use in urban areas.

The technology is protected by patents and decades of know-how. Our chillers have 20 million run hours in mission critical sites and have even operated through Hurricane Sandy. 

3 Tecogen Chillers = $2 Million More Profit a Year

For every 1000 tons of Tecochill, you will free up about 1MW. It also will have a lower the operating cost per hour of operation compared to the alternatives. The going rate for compute is >$200/KW/month in some parts of the country. Even at $160/KW/month, reallocating the new power for more compute equates to millions in increased profits each year.

Proven to Avoid Utility Delays

" Upgrading our electrical infrastructure was like opening of can of worms. The utility wasn't responsive and our electrician said we needed to upgrade our switch gear and grounding rods before we could add electric chillers. Tecogen's engine-driven chillers ended up having the lowest operating and installation cost. "

" We wouldn't have had enough power for 12 to 18 months and needed to open. Instead of waiting, we started powering the lights with InVerde generators and the cooling with Tecogen chillers. Now we have grid power but run them for the heat and to lower our energy bills. "

Power Outage? No Problem! Two Power Sources = Uninterrupted Cooling

Today, if your data center experiences a power outage, this is an event to panic about. Your chillers will shut down, thermal storage will need to carry the load while you scramble to get your diesel generators online and chillers turned back on. If you're lucky this happens within 5 minutes. If it doesn't chips may shut down or load may have to be moved to other data centers before something more catastrophic happens. With Tecogen's dual power source chiller, as long as the engine is running and the controls are on the UPS, the chiller may never even shut down.
