CoolIT Systems
CoolIT Systems' validated 15kW coldplate is designed to support future generations of AI accelerators while extending the performance range of single-phase direct liquid cooling. The company says the design delivers nearly four times the capacity of its previous 4kW coldplate and more than 10 times the cooling required for current-generation AI GPUs, while operating under industry-standard flow rates and warm-water conditions.
