Researchers from Binghamton University-SUNY and NVIDIA have published a technical paper on liquid-to-air coolant distribution units (CDUs) in direct-to-chip liquid-cooled data centers.
The study examines the challenges and benefits of direct-to-chip liquid cooling, including system stability and integration with existing infrastructure.
The CDU's performance was tested, achieving a maximum cooling capacity of 89.9 kW and a partial power usage effectiveness (PPUE) of 1.042 at 100% heat load.
The research aims to improve the performance of liquid-to-air CDUs and overcome cooling limitations in data centers.
