Vertiv has launched an immersion cooling tank.

The company has introduced its CoolCenter Immersion cooling system. The pods can support from 25kW to 240kW per system.

“Immersion cooling is playing an increasingly important role as AI and HPC deployments push thermal limits far beyond what conventional systems can handle,” said Sam Bainborough, EMEA vice president of thermal business at Vertiv. “With the Vertiv CoolCenter Immersion, we’re applying decades of liquid-cooling expertise to deliver fully engineered systems that handle extreme heat densities safely and efficiently, giving operators a practical path to scale AI infrastructure without compromising reliability or serviceability.”

The pods range from 24U to 52U. They operate with a PUE of 1.08.

Each system includes an internal or external liquid tank, coolant distribution unit (CDU), temperature sensors, variable-speed pumps, and fluid piping. The pod includes dual power supplies and redundant pumps, as well as an integrated monitoring sensors, a 9-inch touchscreen, and building management system (BMS) connectivity.

The system is available now in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

With immersion cooling, servers are submerged in a dielectric fluid, which removes heat more effectively than air.

The coolant absorbs the heat and is then sent to the heat exchanger in the CDU. The heat is removed via plate heat exchanger transfers to the facility water loop, cooling the dielectric coolant. The cooled fluid goes back to the tank while the heated facility water is pumped out of the data center for heat reuse or rejection.

Vertiv wins Digital Realty contract in Italy

Vertiv has secured Digital Realty as a customer in Italy. The company will be supplying power and cooling infrastructure to Digital’s 3MW ROM1 facility in Rome. Set to go live in 2027, the data center will use free-cooling, and feature an “AI-ready” cooling system.

"Rome is emerging as a crucial gateway for digital infrastructure between Europe and the Mediterranean," said Alessandro Talotta, managing director, Italy of Digital Realty. "The cutting-edge technologies selected for ROM1 will help establish it as a strategic AI hub, setting new benchmarks for energy efficiency and performance in high-performance computing."

"The growing adoption of AI applications is driving the need for more sophisticated data centre infrastructure," added Karsten Winther, president for EMEA at Vertiv. "Our cooling and power solutions are built on decades of experience in supporting the most demanding applications and are designed for projected scalability while helping customers meet their efficiency objectives."

The deal builds on previous deployments with Digital Realty across European locations, including Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam.

Vertiv is also working with Nextra across Africa, including the latter company’s 42MW data center in Nigeria. Vertiv is also set to work with Ezditek on data centers in Saudi Arabia.
