Turn Your Cooling Load Into a Capacity Solution
Convert waste heat into cooling and redirect megawatts back to compute
Power Is the New Bottleneck
Every MW of data center computing generates 400kW of cooling load. Traditional systems dump waste heat while consuming grid power for chillers—a double energy penalty that limits growth and sustainability.
Grid constraints and utility interconnection backlogs are driving data centers toward on-site generation. But every kilowatt matters—power that goes to cooling is power that could generate revenue from compute. The faster you can bring capacity online, the faster you capture market opportunity.
How We Create Value
Powerdrive aligns incentives across the entire data center value chain—creating wins for OEMs, operators, and tenants.
Generator OEMs
Powerdrive increases the effective electrical output of prime power generators by capturing waste heat that would otherwise be lost.
Data Center Operators
Operators reclaim power capacity for compute while dramatically reducing cooling infrastructure costs and complexity.
Enterprise Tenants
Higher upfront efficiency translates to reduced operational expenses passed through as lower monthly rates.
By solving the thermal challenge at the source, Powerdrive unlocks value that flows through every layer of the data center ecosystem.
Where Your Fuel Energy Actually Goes
Most generators only achieve 35-45% fuel-to-electricity efficiency. We capture the waste heat to offset cooling and deliver more power to compute.
Traditional Approach
With Powerdrive
By capturing waste heat to drive cooling, Powerdrive eliminates the cooling power penalty and delivers that capacity directly to revenue-generating compute.
How It Works
Most waste heat recovery requires two steps: heat-to-power, then power-to-cooling. Each conversion loses energy.
Powerdrive's turbo-compressor does both in one step. Waste heat spins a turbine directly coupled to a refrigeration compressor. The result: mechanical cooling with no electricity input.
Reclaim Power for Compute
By offsetting electric cooling with waste heat, megawatts that would power chillers become available for additional compute capacity.
Hybrid Operation Modes
Add optional electric boost for hybrid operation. Or reverse the flow to generate power when cooling isn't needed.
