Our advanced pumping solutions are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers. Designed for OEMs, we provide energy-efficient, modular systems that integrate pumps, drives, sensors and control units for seamless operation. With high-efficiency variable-speed pumps, fast ramp-up capabilities and intelligent monitoring, you can ensure reliable performance, minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency. Empower your customers with tailored solutions that optimise energy use while preparing for the data centers of tomorrow.
Help your customers with optimised cooling solutions for data centers
Data centers are critical to powering our digital world, but they consume a lot of energy and water. Cooling alone accounts for up to 38% of a data center’s energy use, creating a pressing need for systems that improve efficiency, cut costs and reduce environmental impact.
At Grundfos, we specialise in helping OEMs and system builders design advanced cooling systems that deliver consistent performance, even under fluctuating loads, balancing energy efficiency and reliability. Our innovative pump solutions integrate seamlessly into your systems, offering precise variable-speed operation, fast ramp-up and changeover capabilities as well as intelligent monitoring to minimise energy waste and water consumption. With Grundfos, you can help your customers meet sustainability goals while ensuring optimal performance and uptime in even the most demanding environments.

How intelligent pumps contribute to reducing carbon emissions towards net zero
We have prepared a whitepaper showing why our sustainability approach is attractive for companies as a part of their business model. Significant energy savings, improved reliability and better system performance are just a few advantages mentioned that contribute towards reducing carbon emissions. Find out how you too can achieve this.
Our recommended selection for cooling applications in data centers
CME & CRE - the perfect choice for reliable, economical and dedicated solutions
Proven quality serving delicate cooling applications for 5 decades.
- Reduces lifecycle costs and CO2 emissions by adapting to application demands
- Highest possible efficiency for pump, motor and VFD.
- Solutions for coolants, including high-viscosity and operating within a temperature range from approximately 20°C to 50°C. Some data centers even experience return temperatures as high as 61°C.
- Includes algorithms for differential temperature, differential pressure control and constant temperature
- All relevant sensors can be pre-fitted with CMEs and CREs
NBE – High-efficiency end-suction power for demanding environments
The Grundfos close-coupled (NBE) and long-coupled (NKE) end-suction pumps are our solutions for high-flow and low-pressure applications.
- Available in cast iron or stainless steel (SS316/EN1.4401 + Duplex)
- Reduced life cycle cost and reduced CO2 emission by adapting to the actual demand in application
- Optimised for temperature control, with control algorithms for delta-temp, delta-pressure included
- Grundfos offers special quick tri-clamp connections on end-suction pumps, saving space by removing the adapters they need to connect the pump’s flanges with their clamps and do the fittings. It makes easier the replacement and retrofit.
- All relevant sensors can be pre-fitted with NBEs
CUE - Achieve high reliability while reducing energy consumption with algorithms
High reliability, as the CUE automatically protects the pump from running outside the pump‘s operating range, combined with automatic protection against stress and overload.
- Grundfos CUE adapts automatically to changes in the system, which ensures a stable process.
- Reduced life cycle cost and reduced CO2 emission by adapting to the actual demand in application. Furthermore, our new dedicated AEO VT algorithm saves additionally 5-15% energy in applications with stable flow rates.
- The CUE can also be used to control the cooling tower fan, removing the need for a PLC.
Industry-leading sensor technology
Our sensors provide world-class response times and real-time data analysis, crucial for maintaining continuous data flow and system integrity.
- Real-time insights on cooling system interactions with IT power consumption.
- In-built diagnostics for subsystem monitoring, maintenance, and calibration-free operation with reduced service costs.
- Dynamic control with sensor data to manage and optimise cooling loops.
- Wide range of communication protocols available and supported, including Modbus RTU, Profibus, TCP/IP, and BACnet IP.
- More data from fewer measurement points with 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 sensors
Flexibility and reliability for cooling solutions in data centers
The leakage-free BM range of pressure boosting pumps offers design benefits, flexibility and durability to fit seamlessly with other components in your cooling solutions for data centers. Find out how BM pumps integrate easily into CDU solutions for industrial applications with low maintenance and high reliability.
Our speed-regulated E-pumps, digitally enabled solutions and optimisation services are at the heart of these plans. Available for almost all processes found in industry, these solutions make it possible for you to:
- Get immediate savings – on average 37%2 with an E-pump compared with a standard pump – from lower energy consumption and optimised processes
- Achieve emissions reduction without compromising reliability – an essential requirement in many factory processes
- Benefit with a partner who helps developing energy-efficient solutions for the future
- Strengthen your business with solutions that support your sustainability agenda
