Liquid Cooling Drives Air Cooling Upgrade The Rise of Wind Liquid Homologous Cooling Architecture
Liquid cooling systems cover immersion, cold plate and spray types, consisting of cold source equipment, cooling media, piping, monitoring and auxiliary components. The booming high-density computing demand promotes continuous optimization of the complete data center liquid cooling system, which underpins the stable operation of modern intelligent computing data centers.
Traditional data centers rely on central chillers and air conditioning for full heat dissipation. With the iteration of high-power GPU and CPU devices, cold plate liquid cooling has become the mainstream thermal management method for AI scenarios, undertaking most of the server heat load and completely changing the traditional data center cooling structure.
In the AI computing era, over 70% of server heat is taken away by circulating coolant. High-performance and stable server cooling liquid ensures efficient heat exchange for high-density hardware, greatly reducing the heat burden borne by traditional air conditioning systems.
The sharp drop in air cooling load makes traditional large-scale central cooling systems uneconomical for intelligent computing scenarios. Optimized architectural design and matching equipment selection are essential to form reliable and cost-effective AI data center liquid cooling supporting systems.
Dual sets of independent air cooling and liquid cooling systems bring redundant investment and low energy efficiency. The innovative wind-liquid homologous structure effectively solves this pain point and forms a mature and scalable data center liquid cooling solution for large-scale AI computing clusters.
Different cabinet power densities put forward differentiated thermal management requirements. The upgraded dual-coil DX water-cooled terminals can flexibly adapt to various rack cooling scenarios, covering medium, high and ultra-high density rack load demands.
As the core regulating equipment of liquid cooling loops, cold plate CDU cooperates with shared cooling towers and dual-coil water-cooled terminals to realize unified cold source scheduling, reducing system fault risks and overall operation costs.
The popularization of liquid cooling has broken the traditional "no water in the machine room" restriction, driving the comprehensive upgrade of air cooling terminals and cold source systems. The innovative wind-liquid homologous architecture has become an inevitable upgrade direction for efficient and low-carbon AI data center cooling in the intelligent computing era.
