Liquid Cooling Overview

Foundation Day: Data Centre Liquid Cooling — 6 October, The Matchworks, Gloucester

Liquid and immersion cooling are moving from niche to mainstream as AI and GPU workloads push racks past 50–100kW. If you're an executive weighing the business case, or an engineer who needs the fluid-path fundamentals right, this one-day course is built for you.

Grounded in ICHRC's technical reference, Data Centre Fluid Paths, and delivered under NDCA guidelines.

Today's Agenda:

1️⃣ The Case for Liquid Cooling — why air alone can't keep up, and the comparison matrix

2️⃣ Facility vs Technology Loop — physical pathways, plus CRAH/CRAC fundamentals

3️⃣ Rear Door, Direct-to-Chip & Cold Plates — fluid paths at the rack and chip level

4️⃣ Immersion Cooling — single- and two-phase, and eliminating chilled water

5️⃣ Efficiency, Redundancy & Safety — PUE, WUE, ESG, and the safety essentials

6️⃣ The Whitewall Argument & Decision Matrix — proximity vs presence, and choosing an architecture
