Liquid Cooling Trends in Data Centers: Single-Phase vs Two-Phase Direct-to-Chip
Liquid Cooling Trends in Data Centers: Single-Phase vs Two-Phase Direct-to-Chip
The future of data center cooling is liquid, not air.
This informative guide explores the evolving landscape of liquid cooling technologies for modern data centers, with a special focus on the comparison between single-phase and two-phase direct-to-chip (DtC) cooling solutions.
What You'll Learn:
- Why liquid cooling uses only 1-2% of facility power compared to traditional air cooling
- The critical differences between single-phase and two-phase direct-to-chip cooling
- How two-phase cooling provides more uniform heat management for high-density AI workloads
- Important considerations for Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) and their selection criteria
- Practical implementation strategies for organizations new to liquid cooling
- The significance of Approach Temperature Difference (ATD) in system efficiency
Perfect for data center managers, IT infrastructure planners, and technology leaders facing increasing cooling challenges from high-density computing and AI workloads.
