ENERGY EFFICIENT LIQUID-COOLED DATACENTERS

Systems and methods for operating a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, method for operating a datacenter includes receiving a source of gas to a fuel cell to produce electrical power. The method further includes providing the electrical power to one or more electronic components in the datacenter. The method further includes capturing waste heat, generated by the fuel cell in converting the gas to the electrical power, using a heat exchanger. The method further includes providing the waste heat to an absorption chiller to produce cooled liquid to be utilized with a cooling system to remove heat from the one or more electronic components.
