Cooling Revolution in Data Centres

A recent study by researchers shows that liquid-based cooling techniques like cold plates and immersion cooling can dramatically cut emissions, energy use, and water consumption in data centres.

What are Cold Plates and Immersion Cooling?

  • These are advanced liquid-cooling technologies designed to replace conventional air-cooling systems in data centres.
  • Cold Plates: Direct-to-chip systems where coolant circulates through microchannels in plates placed directly on heat-generating components.
  • Immersion Cooling: Entire servers are submerged in heat-absorbing fluids that either remain liquid (single-phase) or evaporate and condense (two-phase), removing heat far more efficiently than air.

Why are they needed?

  • Traditional air cooling is energy- and water-intensive.
  • Data ....
