Direct Liquid Cooling: A Game-Changer for Data Center Thermal Management
Raja Venkata Sandeep Reddy Davu [5]
Abstract: Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) revolutionises data centre thermal management by addressing inefficient cooling and energy waste. DLC can transform data centre operations by providing better thermal control than air cooling. This study examines its use and adoption in data centres. The document describes DLC definition, operation, and kinds such as immersion and cold plate cooling. It compares DLC to typical air-cooling solutions, highlighting its thermal efficiency, energy savings, and space optimization. Moving to DLC involves infrastructure upgrades, cost considerations, and implementation challenges, which this article discusses. Case studies demonstrate how DLC enhanced performance and operations in real-world applications. The study discusses DLC's effects on data centre architecture and design and future trends such as cooling system improvement technology. Data centres considering DLC are advised to stagger the implementation, train people, and plan carefully. This study discusses how DLC can improve data centre cooling technologies and affect future operations.
