2024: The year of liquid cooling?
The tipping point for liquid cooling has arrived, with a few choices on technology, so which direction should data center operators take?

Edge data centers can be many things, from telecoms exchanges in the middle of nowhere to colo facilities in town. But which solutions will keep them all reliably cooled?
Demonstrating that a particular material is better for the environment than another might be hard, but new tools have been released proving the environmental advantages of plastic piping over metal
Server CPU TDPs are set to soar as AI and other applications demand more power. GRC’s John Bean and Alex McManis tell DCD how immersion cooling will keep them cool
Modular data centers are finding homes in hospitals, banks, the military, and, of course, at the Edge. But will the critical cooling they need be up to the task?
For data center piping solutions, plastic isn’t just the most sustainable choice, it also means less maintenance and greater reliability, GF Piping System’s Benjamin Sheppard tells DCD
Ron Spangler of Vertiv talks to DCD about air cooling, and how developments in liquid cooling will lead to a hybrid data center merging the best of both worlds
Heat exchangers need to be designed bespoke for the application in order to maximize energy efficiency, says Alfa Laval’s Anna Blomborg
Sustainability is about way more than just installing LED lights in the foyer. It starts before you’ve even designed that new data center – and extends far beyond environmental responsibility
Data centers are made from concrete, cement, steel and glass, and consume vast amounts of power. So how can operators genuinely become “sustainable”, let alone achieve net-zero?
When humans really need to cool down, fans are not a patch on immersion in a pool of cool water. So why not adopt immersion cooling in data centers?
With GRC’s ‘try before you buy’ program, you can verify immersion cooling’s performance before taking the plunge
Data centers are prodigious users of water, but attempts to reduce on-site water usage often just shifts water usage upstream to power generation, argues Excool’s Jon Pettitt
The design of data center cooling systems must be based on an in-depth understanding of regional water quality, especially in Southeast Asia, says Nalco Water’s Dr Peter Wang Peng
Single-use plastics have been criticised for being environmentally harmful, but high-tech, long-lasting plastic technology in piping can enable energy efficient liquid cooling and much, much more
Training is the key to staying abreast of developments in an industry as fast moving as the data center sector, says Georg Fischer’s Ian Waldock
Green Revolution’s new Series 10 offers twice the power in a completely integrated system, says GRC’s Ben Smith
If you can buy a jet engine ‘as-a-service’, why not data center cooling? asks Airsys USA president Paul Quigley
Spending $1.6m on electricity every year? Better cooling can cut it to $1m, Craig tells DCD
Demand for Excool’s energy efficient, water efficient data center cooling products has heated up since the release of the Excool Zero
Mirela Dumitrache is an industry veteran with 15+ years of experience. But data center technology moves fast and training is vital to keep up, she says
In the future, healthcare will be as much about 'predictive maintenance' as it is acute care – and that will require fast, well-cooled local processing power, says Iceotope's David Craig
