In response to the growing market demands of large amounts of data that need to be processed instantly, data center service providers are looking for solutions that help them achieve critical operating requirements.
Single Phase Liquid Cooling
Components are submerged in a dielectric fluid in an accessible enclosed chamber. This fluid remains in the liquid phase and absorbs heat as it is circulated through the system. The hot fluid that is circulated makes contact with a heat exchanger that removes the heat, thus cooling the liquid and pumping back into the chamber. The heat exchanger can be a chilled water loop, evaporative cooling tower, or dry cooler.
2-Phase Liquid Cooling
The heat from the servers makes the dielectric liquid boil, transforming liquid to gas and creating vapor passively taking care of heat transfer. Then, the vapor is changed back to its liquid state thanks to a condensing coil. The liquid is now chilled and can be reintegrating the cycle.
This is a simple cycle that eliminates cooling hardware such as fans and results in better cooling efficiency.
Advantages
Liquid cooling excels in heat transfer compared to air, resulting in enhanced cooling efficiency. This enables data centers to achieve higher density and performance levels.
Energy Efficiency
Liquid cooling's ability to manage higher heat loads effectively reduces the reliance on energy-demanding air conditioning and ventilation systems.
Space Efficiency
Reduced Noise
Improved Performance
Components and Mechanisms
Liquid-cooled data centers use liquid-based cooling systems to manage the heat generated by high-performance computing equipment. This method is an alternative to traditional air-cooling techniques and offers several advantages in terms of efficiency and performance.
Coolant: The liquid used in these systems can vary but typically includes water, dielectric fluids, or specialized coolants designed to maximize heat transfer and minimize electrical conductivity.
Cooling Loops: refers to the flow of coolant through pumps, pipes, hoses, heat exchangers, & cold plates:
- Primary Loop: Directly absorbs heat from the electronic components.
- Secondary Loop: Transfers heat from the primary loop to an external cooling tower, chiller, or other heat exchange system.
Heat Exchangers: the critical components that facilitate the transfer of heat between the coolant and the external environment:
- Cold Plates: These are attached directly to the components (like CPUs or GPUs) and have channels through which the coolant flows.
- Immersion Cooling: Entire servers or components are submerged in a dielectric fluid that absorbs heat directly from the hardware in either an open bath or enclosed chassis.
Pumps and Pipes: These circulate the coolant through the system, ensuring a continuous flow to maintain optimal temperatures.
Applications
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
Super computers in the industries of aerospace, automotive, energy, and healthcare all need substantial computational power which is why they find liquid cooling beneficial for handling the high levels of heat generated.
