Pendinginan
120 kW racks cannot be air-cooled. The shift to direct-to-chip liquid and beyond, and the thermal chain from cold plate to cooling tower.
Catatan lapangan
Panas adalah pajak yang dibayar setiap watt AI, dan sejak rak 120 kW hadir, membayarnya berarti memasang pipa. Bagian ini paling baik dibaca sebagai kisah sebelum/sesudah: kipas ada di mana-mana pada 2022, cold plate ada di mana-mana pada 2025, dan immersion cooling menunggu di balik layar.
Mulai dengan tiga ini
DT
Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling
Wajib di garis terdepan sejak Blackwell. Teknologi yang mengubah wajah setiap ruang server.
VE
Vertiv
Perusahaan yang diperlakukan pasar saham sebagai papan skor pendinginan.
IC
Immersion Cooling
Langkah yang belum dipaksakan kepada siapa pun — menenggelamkan seluruh server.
Cooling technologies
5
DT
Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling
Cold plates on every die — mandatory at Blackwell rack densities.
AC
Air Cooling
Fans, heatsinks and hot aisles — sufficient until ~40 kW per rack.
CD
Coolant Distribution Units (CDU)
The pumps and plate exchangers marshaling megawatts of liquid loops.
IC
Immersion Cooling
Whole servers submerged in dielectric fluid — density without limit, adoption with friction.
RD
Rear-Door Heat Exchangers
Liquid-cooled doors that upgrade air racks without touching servers.
