What Is a Liquid Cooling Manifold? A Complete Guide for Data Center Engineers
Over the past two years, AI training and inference clusters have pushed rack power density past what traditional air cooling can handle. Racks running at 50kW, 100kW, or higher are
What Is a Cold Plate? How It Works, Types & Applications
Introduction A cold plate is a liquid-cooled heat exchanger that mounts directly on a heat source, such as a CPU or GPU, an IGBT module, a battery cell, or a
What Is a CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) in a Data Center?
TL;DR: A CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) is the thermal management device at the heart of a liquid-cooled data center. It sits between the facility’s cooling source and the IT equipment’s
