Innovation in Data Center Cooling: Green's New Pump Drive Development

Strategic Insights

Jul 7, 2025 — 1 min read

Green, the leading Swiss data center provider, has made a significant breakthrough in energy-efficient data center cooling. Chief Operating Officer and Chief Engineer Andrea Luigi Campomilla has designed a new, water-cooled pump drive that offers a 15% increase in efficiency compared to current air-cooled systems. This innovative development is a crucial step towards reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability in the data center industry.

Key Takeaways:

Green's new pump drive development is led by Chief Operating Officer and Chief Engineer Andrea Luigi Campomilla, who has designed a water-cooled pump drive offering 15% more efficiency than current air-cooled systems.
The pump drive combines motor, frequency converter, and pump in a compact design, utilizing direct water cooling through a specially designed cooling pipe system.
The new pump drive generates less noise, produces a higher return temperature, and results in increased heat dissipation into the heating network.
Four pump drives were installed in Data Center M on the Metro-Campus Zurich in June 2025, and plans are to use the new pump as a standard in other Green data centers.
Energy efficiency is a top priority for Green, with ongoing investments in further development and a commitment to driving innovation.

Statistics:

15% increase in efficiency offered by the new pump drive compared to current air-cooled systems.
4 pump drives installed in Data Center M on the Metro-Campus Zurich in June 2025.
6 data centers operated by Green in the greater Zurich area.
3 additional data centers under construction in Dielsdorf and Lupfig.
5 consecutive years as the Swiss market leader for data centers and colocation by international consulting firm ISG.
