The shift towards two-phase cooling may not happen on a fixed timeline, but rising chip and rack densities are increasing the pressure on cooling infrastructure to keep pace with AI. Rather than waiting for thermal requirements to force another major infrastructure change, operators are beginning to consider how they can prepare for two-phase cooling while continuing to support today’s mix of air and liquid-cooled systems. This session looks at what that transition could involve, the role of hybrid approaches and rear-door heat exchangers, and how operators can start building experience with two-phase technology without requiring an immediate wholesale change to their cooling architecture. This episode will discuss:
- Why rising AI densities are accelerating interest in two-phase cooling
- How hybrid cooling and RDHx can support evolving infrastructure requirements
- Where two-phase could deliver advantages in density, efficiency and maintenance
- How POCs, universal components and flexible architectures can simplify deployment
