Liquid cooling has emerged as a revolutionary solution in the ever-evolving landscape of data center technology, offering significant advantages over traditional air-cooling methods. That is the stance of National Real Estate Advisors, which published a commentary on this process in September.
The term “liquid cooling” refers to the process of managing heat generated by the electronic equipment housed in data centers through a closed-loop system, where a coolant is circulated through a plate that is attached to the rear of a server, transferring away heat generated by integrated circuits, or “chips,” in the server.
In its commentary, National pinpointed five key benefits of using liquid cooling in data centers:
Efficient heat dissipationLiquid cooling is remarkably effective at transferring heat away from components more efficiently than air cooling. Because liquids have a higher heat capacity, this method is essenti
