Anyone who’s jumped in a cold pool on a hot day understands the effectiveness of liquid cooling. This is certainly not a new concept. Automobile radiators, one of the first examples of liquid cooling in industry, have existed for nearly 125 years. Using liquid cooling – among other temperature-reduction methods – is not a novel idea for the data center either, where uncontrolled heat from servers, high-powered processors and a myriad of electronics gear could cause serious issues. While data center liquid cooling applications have been relatively limited to specific high-heat systems, compute-intensive and data-intensive workloads of new server configurations continue to drive temperatures higher, placing more interest on more broadly-applied liquid thermal management approaches.
