EnVisioneering Exchange Podcast

In this episode, Vic Marinich talks with Danfoss application engineering manager Brian Dail about dedicated outdoor air systems, or DOAS. The conversation covers how DOAS units improve ventilation and indoor air quality, how they manage humidity, and why advanced compressors and controls are becoming more important as demand for fresh-air solutions grows.

Liquid cooling is rapidly becoming essential for modern data centers as AI and high-performance computing drive higher densities and energy demand.

In this episode of EnVisioneering Exchange, Zach Dominique (Danfoss Climate Solutions) shares insights from his interview with Data Center Dynamics, covering how liquid cooling can reduce energy use by 15–20%, why hydronic balancing is critical for performance, and how collaboration across the ecosystem is accelerating innovation.

You’ll also hear how heat reuse is turning excess energy into a valuable resource.

Nothing is hotter than data centers at the moment. Digitalization and AI are causing massive growth, so we need innovative methods and technologies to keep them cool and do it more efficiently.

Danfoss’ top data center experts gathered recently for a panel discussion on what’s happening in the data center industry, what technologies are needed to cool efficiently, and how a collaborative approach is helping data center companies grow fast.

The topics include:

• The impact of data center energy use and power demand
• Liquid cooling as a paradigm shift for the data center industry
• The role of data centers in balancing the grid as a part of the energy ecosystem
• The importance of close collaboration across industry players to address fast innovation cycles

Our panel features data center experts from across Danfoss:
