Explore field-validated capacity and resiliency analysis from Hydrus Works. ## Key Takeaways - Your Cooling Infrastructure Was Designed for a Different Load - What We Help Data Centers With - Why Data Centers Work with Hydrus Works # Cooling Infrastructure Support for Data Centers Hydrus Works helps mission-critical facilitiesdata centers validate, model, and plan cooling infrastructure with the confidence that comes from real operating data, not engineering assumptions. ## Your Cooling Infrastructure Was Designed for a Different Load Rack densities are climbing. White space is being added. AI workloads are pushing thermal demands that existing chilled water plants and condenser water systems weren’t sized for. Most data center operators don’t have a validated hydraulic model of their cooling infrastructure, which means expansion decisions get made based on design specs that may not reflect how the system performs under real operating conditions. Hydrus Works builds field-validated cooling infrastructure models that give data center teams a reliable basis for expansion planning, redundancy analysis, and long-term capacity decisions. We start with real operating data from your system, not manufacturer specs or design drawings, and give you answers you can act on. ## What We Help Data Centers With ### Expansion Planning Adding white space or increasing rack density? We model whether your chilled water plant, condenser water system, and distribution network can support the new load, and where the constraints are. Better to understand the limits before you’re building into them. ### Scenario and Resiliency Modeling What happens if a chiller trips? How does the system perform under peak summer load? What’s your actual N+1 margin under real operating conditions, not design assumptions? These questions have defensible answers when you have a validated model to run them against. ### Energy Optimization Cooling represents a significant share of a data center’s energy spend. A validated hydraulic model identifies where you’re leaving efficiency on the table, pump staging, setpoint optimization, distribution losses, and gives you a basis for improvements that hold up. ## Why Data Centers Work with Hydrus Works ### Field-Validated Starting Point We start with real operating data from your chilled water plant, condenser water system, and distribution infrastructure, not design assumptions. That’s the basis for models that reflect how your facility actually performs. ### Vendor-Neutral No equipment affiliations. Our recommendations are based on system performance, resiliency, and efficiency, not what a manufacturer wants to sell. ### UMaaS for Long-Term Infrastructure Support As your facility evolves, new white space, higher-density cooling, equipment additions, UMaaS keeps your models current and your team supported for the questions that come next. #### Services
