As the demand for high-performance computing increases, data centres are under increasing pressure to operate efficiently while minimizing their environmental impact<\/a>. Traditional air-based cooling systems, though widely used, struggle to keep up with rising energy consumption<\/a> and heat dissipation challenges. Liquid cooling technology is emerging as a powerful alternative, offering superior thermal management and sustainability<\/a> benefits. Here, we\u2019ll explore how liquid cooling enhances equipment lifespan<\/a> and promotes eco-conscious decommissioning.<\/p>\n

Understanding data centre liquid cooling<\/h2>\n

Liquid cooling is a method that uses liquid-based solutions to dissipate heat from IT hardware, replacing or supplementing conventional air-cooling systems. Unlike air cooling, which relies on fans and airflow, liquid cooling leverages the superior thermal conductivity of liquids to transfer heat more efficiently. There are two primary types of liquid cooling technologies:<\/p>\n
