Cooling
Where the heat changes hands.
A coolant distribution unit sits between the building’s water and the servers’ coolant. Tracing one circuit through it makes liquid cooling much easier to picture.
Cooling
Data center cooling and water
Follow the heat all the way out.
Cooling connects the tiny surfaces where heat is generated to the much larger systems that carry it away. The useful question is not simply whether a facility uses air or liquid, but how every part of that route works together.
These stories trace the boundary between server coolant and facility water, distinguish circulation from consumption, and connect equipment choices to their operating conditions. The Lab lets you explore those relationships with stated assumptions.
Environment
The water that stays. The water that leaves.
Closed-loop cooling describes a circuit. A data center’s water footprint depends on where the heat goes next.
Operations
The pump is running. Why is the rack getting hotter?
An imagined commissioning test shows the gap between a pump that runs and cooling that arrives.
