Conventional cooling is becoming incapable of handling high-density computing required for emerging applications. Data center sites already require significant CAPEX to have electric utilities deliver additional power as they scale, relocate, or push to the cloud as well; conventional cooling cannot deliver the energy efficiency required to contain these costs.
Powering while efficiently cooling the modern data center
Liquid cooling system of CPUs and GPUs where the coolant is in direct contact with the processing units itself can eliminate most of the contributors to internal thermal resistance. Direct liquid cooling offers a high heat transfer coefficient that reduces the temperature rise of the processors. It delivers the most optimized performance per watt per dollar, with outstanding density, superior bandwidth, lower data center TCO, optimized compute, memory, and significant reduction in cooling data center energy consumption.

Liquid Cooling Technologies
Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) and Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH)
- Uses mechanical refrigeration
- Utilizes a lot of energy; not enough for high density racks
In-Row Cooling
- Cooling up each row of server racks, by cooling the units between two rows
- Uses cool air or chilled water
Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx)
- Used for high density of compute applications
- Radiator-like doors with tubes of chilled water attached to the back of racks
Cold Plate
- Uses liquid-cooled module directly on top of CPU
- Coolant via pipes directly to the cold plate
Liquid Immersion Cooling
- The entire data center equipment in a bath of non-flammable, non-conductive, dielectric fluid, which absorbs the heat from the system
