2026-04-27 16:05:06

      With the surge in demand for computing power in data centers, chip power consumption continues to climb, and traditional air cooling technology can no longer meet the cooling requirements. Chiller liquid cooling technology introduces cooling fluid into the interior of servers or cooling modules through direct or indirect contact, achieving efficient heat exchange.
     Cold plate liquid cooling: The cooling liquid indirectly cools heat-generating components (such as CPUs and GPUs) through a cold plate. It is suitable for high-density cabinets and can support power densities up to 30-50 kW per cabinet.
     Immersion liquid cooling: The server is completely immersed in an insulating cooling liquid, achieving a heat transfer efficiency more than a thousand times higher than air cooling. It is suitable for extreme high-power consumption scenarios (such as AI supercomputing centers), achieving a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) as low as 1.05, meeting the requirements of green data centers.
     Technical advantages of Chiller liquid cooling:
 Efficient cooling and energy saving: The specific heat capacity of liquid is 25 times that of air, resulting in higher heat transfer efficiency. It can quickly remove heat and prevent equipment from reducing its frequency due to overheating.
       Liquid-cooled data centers can save approximately 30% of energy, reduce reliance on air conditioning systems, and lower the PUE value. For instance, after adopting full-stack liquid cooling technology, the Wuhu Smart Computing Center achieved a PUE as low as 1.08, and its carbon emissions were reduced by half.
High-density deployment and space optimization: Liquid cooling technology supports higher power density cabinets, allowing a 10-fold increase in computing power density within the same space, meeting the high computing power demands of AI, big data, and other applications.
       No need for extensive air cooling infrastructure, saving construction costs for data centers.
Environmental adaptability and silent operation: Liquid cooling is not affected by altitude or temperature, and the heat dissipation efficiency in high-altitude areas is no different from that in low-altitude areas.
       After eliminating the fan, the noise level is significantly reduced, achieving a "silent computer room" effect.
Extending equipment lifespan and reducing failure rate: Stabilizing the temperature environment reduces thermal stress on the equipment, thereby lowering the hardware failure rate.
Typical application scenarios of Chiller liquid cooling:
       AI and supercomputing center: High-power GPUs require liquid cooling to support stable operation, ensuring efficient execution of tasks such as climate modeling and nuclear simulation.
       High-density enterprise data center: Internet companies reduce CPU/GPU temperature through liquid cooling, enhance server operational efficiency, and cut operating costs.
        Edge computing and special environment data center: Liquid cooling technology adapts to harsh environments (such as high temperature and high altitude) to ensure stable operation of edge devices.
