Modular FRP tanks for data center cooling

Water Storage Tanks for Data Centers

FTC modular FRP tanks store water for data center cooling make-up, fire protection, and emergency backup.

Panels are field-erected, so tanks fit sites with limited access and indoor mechanical rooms.

FTC Tanks is the sole US distributor of FTC FRP tanks.

FTC Tanks for Data Centers

The Ultimate Water Storage Solution

In the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of data centers, efficiency, reliability, and innovation are essential. FTC Tanks are specifically designed to meet the unique demands of data centers, providing a state-of-the-art water storage solution that ensures optimal performance and peace of mind. Here’s why FTC Tanks are the preferred choice for water storage in data centers:

Why Data Centers Need Water Storage

Key Functions of Water Storage in Data Centers:

1. Cooling Systems

Thermal Regulation: Data centers generate immense heat from servers, networking equipment, and other IT infrastructure. Water is commonly used in cooling systems, such as chilled water systems or evaporative cooling towers, to efficiently regulate temperature and prevent overheating.
Energy Efficiency: Water-based cooling systems are highly efficient and costeffective, particularly for large-scale data centers, helping reduce energy consumption and operational costs.

2. Fire Suppression

Emergency Fire Protection: Data centers house expensive equipment and critical data that must be protected from fire risks. Stored water is essential for fire suppression systems, such as sprinklers or deluge systems, ensuring a rapid response in case of a fire.
Compliance with Regulations: Many fire codes and safety standards (e.g., NFPA 22) mandate on-site water storage to ensure fire suppression systems have a reliable water supply at all times.

3. Emergency Preparedness

Backup Water Supply: In the event of municipal water supply disruptions, natural disasters, or infrastructure failures, an on-site water storage tank ensures the uninterrupted operation of cooling and fire suppression systems.
Disaster Recovery: During emergencies, stored water is crucial for keeping systems operational until normal services resume, safeguarding uptime and data integrity.

4. Sustainability and Efficiency

Water Recycling: Some data centers utilize stored water for eco-friendly initiatives, such as reusing gray water in cooling systems, reducing overall water consumption and environmental impact.
Demand Management: Water storage enables data centers to manage demand efficiently, ensuring a consistent supply during peak operational periods or water shortages.

Data Center Water Tank FAQs

How much water storage does a data center need?

It depends on the cooling load, make-up water rate, and the fire demand set by the AHJ. FTC engineers size the tank from your numbers.

Can FRP tanks be installed indoors?

Yes. Panels pass through standard doorways and bolt together in place.

Do FTC tanks meet NFPA 22?

FTC tanks are designed to NFPA 22.

Can one tank hold cooling and fire water?

Multi-compartment tanks can separate them.

Can the tank be insulated?

Yes. 1″ and 2″ options are available.

What is the warranty?

5 years against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty available.
