Datacenter DC Liquid Cooling

The data center industry is faced with unprecedented demand due to the growth in high density data centers. Generative Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Internet of Things are revolutionizing the landscape, leading data center designers to utilize liquid-cooled equipment within air-cooled data centers.

Fred is returning after his October 2023 presentation to share the latest updates on Datacenter Liquid Cooling technologies and the evolving requirements driven by AI computing demands. As high-density workloads continue to push the limits of traditional cooling methods, the industry is rapidly adapting. This session will cover advancements in liquid cooling, real-world implementation examples, and the challenges of scaling these solutions.
