  • Immersion Liquid Cooling for Computer Rooms in Intelligent Buildings

    Immersion Liquid Cooling for Computer Rooms in Intelligent Buildings

    Immersion cooling involves submerging IT hardware in dielectric fluid that does not conduct electricity. Heat generated by the components is transferred directly into the liquid, which is then circulated and cooled. Single-Phase Immersion Servers are submerged in a bath of liquid. Data center immersion cooling (or “liquid immersion cooling”) is an energy-efficient option that offers superior cooling for high-density workloads. Advanced AI chips are generating more heat in data centers, necessitating improved cooling solutions. Data Center. For decades, air cooling has been the standard for data centers.
