Data Center Liquid Cooling Thermal Management Robot Swarm ThermalBot Deployed at Google: PUE Drops Below 1.03

Google deploys ThermalBot liquid cooling management robot swarm at its Oregon data center, using AI to optimize coolant flow distribution in real time, reducing data center PUE to 1.03.

Google announced on July 19 the deployment of ThermalBot liquid cooling management robot swarm at its The Dalles data center in Oregon. The system comprises 36 micro patrol robots and an AI dispatch platform. Each robot is equipped with an infrared thermal imager and flow sensor, continuously patrolling between server racks to monitor each computing node's temperature and coolant flow in real time.

ThermalBot's AI dispatch platform dynamically adjusts coolant distribution based on real-time heat load distribution, reducing data center power usage effectiveness (PUE) from 1.08 to 1.03. Google data center engineering vice president Joe Kava stated: "Every 0.01 reduction in PUE translates to approximately 40 million dollars in annual electricity savings and 20,000 tons of carbon emission reduction for our global data center network."
