Data Center Cooling

Data Center Cooling

Unlock high-powered data center performance with Immersion and Direct Liquid Cooling

As new technologies such as AI and highly complex research involving big data processes have driven demand for high-performance computing, traditional air-cooling systems have increasingly reached their operational limits, with servers and AI deployments generating more heat than can be sustained. Immersion Cooling and Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling (DLC) serve as excellent alternatives, offering significantly improved thermal efficiency and scalability.

What is Immersion Cooling and Direct Liquid Cooling?

We offer two contemporary cooling solutions. 

Immersion Cooling

Immersion Cooling submerges entire servers in a dielectric coolant. By immersing the hardware, heat is efficiently dissipated, and the need for traditional air cooling is significantly reduced, offering a reduction in energy consumption and improved PUE. 

Traditionally, air cooling has been the go-to method for keeping data centers within the desired temperature range. While it’s effective, it’s far from perfect. As technology advances, high-performance servers and AI deployments generate more heat than ever before. This surge necessitates a rethink of traditional cooling methods. 

Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC)

In contrast to Immersion Cooling, Direct Liquid Cooling circulates a thermally conductive dielectric liquid directly in contact with hot components, such as processors. The liquid then travels through heat sinks, which are attached to the hot equipment that needs cooling. This efficiently absorbs the heat, which is then transferred to a heat exchanger for dissipation. 

What are the benefits of Immersion Cooling and DLC?

In the ever-evolving data center landscape, Immersion Cooling and DLC stand as beacons of efficiency and sustainability. These technologies provide a promising future for data center operators, offering a path to reduced energy consumption, improved performance and a greener footprint.

New technologies such as AI and highly complex research with big data processing boosts the demand for high-powered computing and high-performance hardware. Using traditional air systems to cool this hardware becomes challenging, and this is where Immersion Cooling and DLC step in.

Boost rack power density

Increase per-rack power densities to unlock new revenue streams and to accommodate rising high-power demands.

Traditional air cooling systems have a limitation of 15-20kW/rack peak, and in most cases, with rear door air cooling, this can be extended to 40-50kW/rack comfortably. DLC takes it up a notch with a 70kW-90kW/rack limitation, and full immersion liquid cooling can exceed 150kW/rack.

Sustainability

Benefits for the environment include better power usage, reduced emissions, and less waste. What’s more, DLC systems reject higher-grade heat (70°C+) compared to air systems (<40°C), opening doors to heat reuse and recovery opportunities.

Improve efficiency and slash costs

Reduce power consumption and enhance data center energy efficiency, resulting in lower energy costs and a higher Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

Noise reduction

Immersion Cooling and DLC produce less noise than air cooling, contributing to a quieter and better working environment.
