American students in Sharjah develop cooling tech for data centers
The three students from the American University of Sharjah developed the "AquaServe" proposal to recycle water used in cooling data centers, aiming to reduce water consumption and address sustainability challenges. The idea involves passing warm water from servers through columns containing bubbles that lower the temperature and cause some of it to evaporate. The vapor is then condensed to recover the water and return it to the system. The proposal won the first edition of the Innovators Challenge organized by the university's Engineering Department. The competition aims to present sustainable engineering solutions for water management. It was participated in by 46 students from 7 institutions, with their ideas evaluated based on the quality, originality, and feasibility of the solutions. This initiative responds to the global expansion of data centers and the consequent high water consumption, highlighting the role of women in sustainable engineering innovation.
