Emerson Building R&D Center to Work on Data Center Cooling Technologies
DAYTON, Ohio—Emerson Network Power is building a research and development center on the University of Dayton campus where it will have a dedicated facility for developing new data center cooling technology. The 38,000 ft2 (3530 m2) Emerson Innovation Center is expected to open in late 2015, the company said. The data center portion of it will work on “next-generation” approaches to controlling data center environments and managing heat. Emerson’s R&D center will collaborate with researchers and students from the university’s school of engineering on intelligent cooling technologies and controls that improve energy efficiency and maximize the use of free cooling. The $35 million center will employ between 30 and 50 people.
