Cooling firm Munters and direct-to-chip liquid cooling provider ZutaCore are combining their offerings into one system.
Meanwhile, Airedale has launched a new cooling distribution unit.
Munters & ZutaCore partner
Munters and ZutaCore this week announced the integration of their two platforms to provide a two-phase, waterless liquid cooling solution.
Munters has integrated the HyperCool closed-loop system at the server and rack level with the Munters closed-loop system.
The combined system features Munter's SyCool product rejecting the heat outside the data center and ZutaCore's Hypercool offering to remove the heat away from AI accelerators.
The companies said the solution is designed to liquid cool "hundreds of megawatts of AI workloads" and remove heat from the data center without a facility water loop.
"With AI factories being five-10 times more dense than traditional data centers, there is no other way to cool AI silicon and remove this amount of heat without liquid cooling," said Erez Freibach, co-founder and CEO at ZutaCore. "Furthermore, GPUs are pushing thermal boundaries with known hot spots. AI workloads demand GPU density and stable thermal environments to maximize AI performance. This is also where two-phase, direct-to-chip liquid cooling separates itself from any other solution in the market because it uses no water, takes up little real estate, requires much less power, and allows a heat recovery pathway."
"Combining the advanced closed-loop systems of Munters and ZutaCore delivers an unmatched end-to-end solution, which is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of high-density, high-value environments," added Stefan Aspman, president of business area data center technologies at Munters. "ZutaCore and Munters are pioneering a blueprint for sustainable AI data center architecture."
Airedale launches 1MW CDU
Cooling specialist Airedale has launched a 1MW Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) to cater to liquid-cooled data centers.
The CDU is the key component of liquid cooling systems, isolating facility water systems from the IT equipment and distributing coolant fluid to where it is needed in the server/rack.
Delivering up to 1MW of cooling capacity based on ASHRAE W2 or W3 facility water temperatures, the Airedale by Modine CDU will be manufactured in the US and Europe and is suitable for both colocation and hyperscale data center providers who are seeking to manage higher-density IT heat loads. Up to eight CDUs can be networked.
Richard Burcher, liquid cooling product manager at Airedale by Modine said: “Our investment in the liquid cooling market strengthens Airedale by Modine’s position in the data center industry. We are seeing an increasing amount of enquiries for liquid cooling solutions, as providers move to a hybrid cooling approach to manage low to mid-density and high-density heat loads in the same space.”
Modine, Airedale's owner, acquired the assets of TMGcore, a startup offering single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling for high-density computing, earlier this year.
