directly impacts server performance. The Coolant Distribution Unit serves as the heart of the system, as its absence means no cooling for servers. The Technology Cooling System loop, which comprises the network of piping and connections between the CDU and the racks, governs how thermal energy moves in and out of the compute environment.
“ If these elements aren’ t designed, manufactured and deployed correctly you introduce risk into an environment where there is zero room for failure,” Richard says.
But what are the rewards? Properly implemented liquid cooling delivers efficiency advantages based on the physics of heat transfer, Richard notes.
Liquid removes heat thousands of times more efficiently than air, expanding performance and efficiency possibilities.
The technology enables higher rack densities while improving data centre operations by removing heat directly at chip level, allowing cooling systems from rack to plant to run more efficiently and predictably.
