Cooling Technologies for High-Performance Servers
- Air cooling is the common method for managing heat in data centers, using ambient air circulating through server enclosures with heat sinks and fans.
- Modern server chassis have precise airflow pathways for efficient cooling, incorporating baffles and ducting.
- Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units and raised floor systems are used to distribute cooled air under pressure in large installations.
- Aisle containment systems separate hot and cold air, improving cooling efficiency by up to 30%.
- Liquid cooling is essential for managing high-density thermal loads, offering higher efficiency than air cooling.
- Direct-to-chip cooling involves mounting cold plates on components for precise thermal control in AI training clusters and HPC applications.
