Advanced Cooling Solutions
Precision Cooling For Next-Generation Computing Performance
How Direct Liquid-to-Chip Cooling Works
- Precision Cold Plates attach directly to CPUs, GPUs, and memory modules, creating an efficient thermal interface
- Engineered Coolant Channels circulate liquid through these cold plates, absorbing heat at the source
- Specialized Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) manage fluid temperature, pressure, and flow rates
- Heat Exchangers transfer the captured thermal energy to facility cooling systems
This direct approach to cooling offers exponentially greater heat transfer efficiency compared to air cooling, maintaining optimal component temperatures even under extreme processing loads.

Key Benefits of Heat Exchangers (RDHx)
Enhanced Thermal Efficiency
DLC solutions directly target heat sources—CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators—using precision-engineered cold plates and liquid channels. This direct heat extraction pathway achieves significantly lower thermal resistance compared to traditional air cooling:
- Superior Temperature Control: Maintain component temperatures 20-30°C lower than air cooling allows
- Eliminated Thermal Throttling: Prevent performance degradation during intensive computational tasks
- Consistent Performance: Enable processors to maintain maximum clock speeds during sustained workloads
- Reduced Acoustic Noise: Eliminate the need for high-speed fans, creating quieter computing environments
Our custom-engineered cold plates are designed for specific processor architectures, ensuring optimal thermal contact and maximum heat transfer efficiency for your exact hardware configuration.
Increased Compute Density
By efficiently managing heat at the chip level, DLtC enables dramatically higher rack densities, maximizing compute power per square foot:
- Support for High-Density Racks: Enable deployments of 50-100kW+ per rack without overheating
- Maximized Facility Space Utilization: Fit more computing power into existing data center footprints
- Infrastructure Cost Optimization: Reduce the need for expensive data center expansions
- Streamlined Deployment: Simplify cabling and reduce air handling requirements
For HPC environments where space and performance are premium concerns, DLtC cooling unlocks new levels of computational density without compromising reliability or efficiency.
Lower Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
DLC cooling can reduce overall data center PUE by 30-50%, significantly cutting energy costs and improving sustainability:
- Reduced Cooling Power Requirements: Liquid cooling requires considerably less energy than air-based systems
- Minimized Air Handling: Decrease or eliminate the need for energy-intensive CRAC/CRAH units
- Optimized Heat Rejection: Enable more efficient facility-level cooling with higher temperature differentials
- Reallocation of Power Budget: Shift power from cooling to productive compute functions
By minimizing reliance on traditional air handling systems, your facility can achieve greener operations, lower carbon footprints, and substantial operational cost savings.
Scalability and Flexibility
Our Direct Liquid-to-Chip solutions are adaptable for various HPC architectures and deployment scenarios:
- Multiple Computing Paradigms: Support for CPU, GPU, and specialized accelerator cooling
- AI and Machine Learning Optimization: Tailored solutions for training clusters and inference engines
- Phased Implementation: Modular designs enable gradual migration from air to liquid cooling
- Future-Ready Infrastructure: Scale cooling capacity alongside computing resources as demands grow
This flexibility ensures your cooling infrastructure can evolve with your computing needs, supporting phased upgrades and technology transitions without major redesigns.
