In the proof-of-concept, we were able to verify that almost 100% of the waste heat generated by ICT equipment can be used to supply heat to a residential building using immersion cooling technology. This impressive fact makes it possible to reduce the PUE (energy efficiency of a data center) below one, which can be interpreted as energy-negative computing or carbon neutral heating.
My roles in the already running project were both theoretical and practical:
