Adsorption cooling · zeolite composites

Cooling that runs on the heat you throw away.

AI racks like the GB300 NVL72 dump enormous low-grade heat into their warm-water loops. AdsoluteZero turns that waste heat into cooling - adsorption chillers built on zeolite / calcium-chloride composites, with no compressor and near-zero evaporative water.

The name is the thesis: ADSorption to absolute zero.

1 · In
Warm return water
45-65°C off the liquid-cooled rack loop - normally rejected as waste.
2 · Desorb
Heat regenerates the bed
That heat drives water off the zeolite composite. No compressor, no moving parts.
3 · Evaporate
Cold is produced
Water evaporates under vacuum, chilling a secondary loop.
4 · Out
Chilled water, closed loop
Dry-cooler rejection, evaporation-free. Beds alternate for continuous cold.

For the first time, the heat source is the right temperature. Liquid-cooled AI racks return 45-65°C water - squarely inside the driving band adsorption chillers already use. AdsoluteZero is a drop-in module on the direct-liquid-cooling secondary loop: it takes the heat the CDU rejects and turns it back into cold. We complement liquid cooling - we don't replace it.

What makes it defensible

A materials advantage, packaged for the rack.

DC-tuned composite adsorbent

A zeolite / calcium-chloride composite engineered to regenerate at warm-water DLC temperatures - more water per gram at lower drive heat than plain zeolite. The material is the moat, and it's licensable.

Water-lean by design

Evaporation-free cooling for water-stressed regions - the sharpest wedge where cooling towers face permits, drought and community pushback.

Closes the loop on-site

Unlike district-heat reuse, which needs an offtaker and only displaces heating, cooling is always needed on-site, year-round. No external customer required.

Thermal storage built in

Sorption beds charge off-peak and release cooling on demand - a grid peak-shaving asset as AI strains interconnection queues.

Who it's for

Operators cooling dense AI - especially where water is scarce.

Hyperscale and neocloud operators running liquid-cooled GB300-class fleets, colocation providers under water and PUE pressure, and greenfield AI campuses in hot or water-stressed regions where evaporative cooling is a liability rather than an option.

Ready when you are

Cool the AI build-out on its own exhaust.
