THE DATA CENTRE INTERVIEW
“ Liquid cooling drastically improves energy efficiency and significantly reduces carbon emissions,” he says.
“ It not only enables energy savings of up to 50 %( versus legacy air cooling), but it also brings space savings, while offering water conservation benefits and opportunities for heat reuse, all of which further minimises environmental impact and reduces carbon footprint.”
He adds:“ By supporting HPC demands more efficiently, liquid cooling can allow data centres to scale their operations and meet growing computational needs without proportional increases in energy and water consumption.
“ This offers a flexible and scalable path toward a more sustainable and environmentally responsible industry.”
LiquidStack technology drives data centre sustainability evolution Eager to improve energy efficiency and sustainability for AI and HPC workloads, LiquidStack’ s CDU-1MW technology in particular delivers 1.35MW of heat rejection capacity.
This is while significantly reducing energy consumption and data centre space when compared to air cooling, Joe explains.
“ This results in an impressive improvement in Total Cost of Ownership while supporting chips up to 2,000W TDP,” he says.
“ With its universal compatibility with various direct-to-chip cooling solutions, the CDU-1MW helps data centres effectively manage the growing energy demands of high-density workloads, minimise environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency through superior cooling capacity and reduced resource consumption.”
Likewise, the company says its liquid cooling technology significantly outperforms traditional air cooling methods – particularly when it comes to energy efficiency and sustainability for AI and HPC workloads.
“ It substantially reduces energy consumption and achieves ultra-low pPUE of 1.02-1.03,” Joe adds.“ LiquidStack immersion cooling supports chips greater than 2,000W TDP, eliminates data centre water consumption in almost all cases and offers potential for waste heat reuse.
“ By enabling more efficient cooling for power-intensive workloads, LiquidStack’ s technology helps data centres manage growing energy demands while significantly enhancing sustainability and operational efficiency.”
When it comes to reducing data centre emissions moving forward, Joe can’ t disclose any details about ongoing projects. However, he does share his excitement about the company gaining US $ 20m in a Series B funding round extension, led by Tiger Global, at the end of 2024.
“ We are investing significantly to ensure our liquid cooling solutions meet customer’ s total cooling needs,” Joe says.
“ As the world’ s only true full-service liquid cooling company, LiquidStack is in a unique position to leverage its deep knowledge and R & D resources to bring new high capacity direct-to-chip, immersion and hybrid solutions and services to the market.”
