In this video from ISC 2015, Patrick McGinn from CoolIT Systems describes the company’s innovative liquid cooling technology for HPC clusters.
As heat densities continue to rise, data center managers are realizing liquid cooling is the most reliable and efficient option for handling these extreme heat loads to protect their IT equipment and facilities. Direct Contact Liquid Cooling (DCLC) uses the exceptional thermal conductivity of liquid to provide dense, concentrated cooling to targeted small surface areas. By using DCLC, the dependence on fans and expensive air conditioning and air handling systems is drastically reduced. This enables over 45kW densities per rack using warm-water cooling, reduced power use and access to significantly higher performance potential. Liquid cooling solutions are installed either directly into enclosures or mounted into data center spaces. CoolIT Systems offers options for data centers with or without facility water hook up. Any server in any rack can be liquid cooled with CoolIT’s hardware, and benefit from immediate and measurable CAPEX and OPEX savings.”
