Connect | India // Tech Showcase: How to scale high reliability, cost effective direct liquid cooling for AI | BEEHE

As AI workloads continue to increase rack densities and power demands, data centre operators are accelerating the adoption of direct liquid cooling to support next-generation AI infrastructure. Yet deployment remains operationally and technically complex, particularly when integrating liquid cooling alongside existing air-cooled environments. This session will examine practical approaches to deploying direct liquid cooling across both newbuild and retrofit data centre environments, including:

• Exploring hybrid cooling strategies
• Understanding core infrastructure requirements, including CDUs and secondary piping
• Considering deployment where direct water access is unavailable
• Addressing key commissioning challenges
• Examining operational challenges when scaling liquid-cooled AI infrastructure
