SPECIALIST engineering firm Aqua Cooling, which has an office in York, has been honoured by the international Institute of Physics during a parliamentary reception at the Palace of Westminster.
The team was presented with a Commended Innovation award for its patented Leak Prevention System (LPS) that puts a basic scientific principle to work in a commercial application for the first time.
Picking up the award were Aqua directors Kevin Lancaster and Simon Davis.
Mr Davis said the award was extremely rewarding for the whole Aqua team.
He said: “It represents valuable recognition from the scientific community and highlights the enormous significance and potential of our LPS within the data centre industry.”
By incorporating the LPS into its range of water-based cooling systems, Aqua can guarantee optimum efficiency and continuous, 100 per cent leak-free performance — which makes its systems ideal for installation and operation in sensitive environments such as data centre and on-chip cooling.
Aqua’s LPS uses the Venturi effect and the basic scientific premise that water under negative pressure cannot escape through a hole or breach in a pipe, hose, or joint.
