Air cooling cannot address three key issues: power density, energy efficiency, and infrastructure costs. TMGCore explores some of the opportunities and limitations of liquid immersion cooling, and how the technology pushes the heat limit.
GRC Pushes Density Limits with Support for 200 kW Immersion Racks
GRC (Green Revolution Cooling) has launched a new immersion cooling design for extreme-density computing that can support up to 200 kilowatts (kW) of server capacity.
Microsoft Tests Immersion Cooling Tech from Bitcoin Mining for its Cloud Servers
Microsoft is test-driving immersion cooling technology used in bitcoin mining for adoption in its cloud. As powerful new AI hardware presents cooling challenges, Microsoft sees dunking its servers in coolant as a promising technology for future data centers.
Immersion Cooling Meets Edge Computing
Several new projects use immersion cooling to deliver compute capacity in a smaller form factor, an approach that could prove useful in creating micro data centers to support the Internet of Things.
Immersion Cooling At Scale: BitFury Pushes Density to 250kW Per Rack
BitFury will use immersion cooling to manage power densities of 250kW per enclosure. It’s the largest implementation yet of immersion cooling, which houses servers in enclosures filled with fluid, and pushes the boundaries of rack densities.
