There are many approaches to support AI workloads that require hybrid air and liquid cooling solutions, one of which is liquid-to-refrigerant coolant distribution units (L2R CDUs) with refrigerant-based heat rejection.

The technology offers flexibility not only in managing air and liquid cooling loads at the same time but also in deploying various IT loads or other CDUs with different liquid temperature requirements.

These technologies can be installed in both new and existing data centers, and this approach can enable teams to process different workloads at the same facility or within the same data hall.

In this ebook, we:

• Discuss the benefits of using direct expansion heat rejection for hybrid air and liquid cooling heat loads emerging in today’s data centers.
• Explain the pros and cons of leveraging this technology in both applications.
• Describe how operators can accommodate AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads that produce significant heat by setting up hybrid air and liquid cooling systems using DX technology
