In data centers with AI & ML workloads, liquid-based cooling is favored for its effectiveness in managing the substantial heat produced by powerful computing devices such as Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).
• In August 2023, According to Vertiv, With the growing use of AI and HPC, data centers are now being designed to handle a massive 100 megawatts of power and pack as much as 30 kW of computing power into each rack. This challenges data center buildings to maximize their available space while catering to customers with larger workloads. These data center buildings are evolving in various ways to cope with the increasing demands, such as handling heavier racks and improved cooling solutions. This includes the introduction of robotics in construction and advanced cooling methods such as direct-to-chip cooling. There is also the consideration of retrofitting data centers to double their capacity without expanding the building's footprint.

Growth in Rack Power Density

• As a data center integrates advanced technologies such as AI, ML, and data analytics, it faces increased power demands, often ranging from 20 kW to 80 kW per rack, which generate substantial heat.
• Liquid cooling technology in the data center cooling market has become a highly effective solution to overcome the challenges faced by data centers. According to the Uptime Institute, advanced liquid-based cooling is more cost-effective and efficient when the rack density goes beyond 20 kW to 25 kW.
• Several data center operators plan to adopt liquid-based cooling techniques to house workloads with higher rack power density in data center facilities. For instance, In January 2024, Aligned Data Centers launched DeltaFlow~, a new liquid-based cooling system and technology. This technology has been designed to support the high-density computing requirements and workloads of up to 300 kW per rack.

Innovation in Data Center Cooling Techniques

• Adoption of Immersion Cooling
  • Immersion cooling, a liquid-based cooling technique, regulates data center equipment temperature by submerging it in cooling fluid. This method helps dissipate heat and ensure optimal performance of components such as CPUs.
  • In May 2024, LG UplUS announced it had developed a new data center in Paju, South Korea. The company also announced that it is equipped with an immersion cooling system.
• Direct-to-Chip Cooling
  • Direct-to-chip liquid-based cooling is an advanced method used in the data center cooling market to handle and effectively dissipate heat produced by high-performance servers.
  • In December 2023, Equinix announced plans to expand its support for liquid-based cooling technology, including direct-to-chip cooling, to over 100 International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers across more than 45 metro areas globally. Locations set to support direct-to-chip liquid-based cooling include London, Silicon Valley, Singapore, and Washington DC.
• DeltaFlow
  • DeltaFlow is the next evaluation in liquid-based cooling technology in data centers. It sets a new standard in liquid-based cooling, tailor-made to meet the demand of high-density environments and supercomputing.
• Adoption of Liquid-based Cooling Techniques
  • Liquid immersion was considered a niche approach for the data center cooling market. Many data center operators and IT companies are testing and implementing advanced cooling solutions.
  • These innovations aim to ensure operational reliability, achieve cost savings, and effectively manage the high-power densities of modern data centers.
  • In January 2023, NTT DATA deployed its first liquid immersion cooling and direct contact liquid-based cooling technology in India in the Navi Mumbai Data Center.
