The second article in this series looks ahead to the future of compute, where diverse architectures will drive even faster liquid cooling adoption. As workloads become increasingly specialized, cooling solutions must evolve in tandem. While liquid cooling will continue to play an increasingly dominant role in data centers, immersion liquid cooling, cold plate liquid cooling, and air cooling will all remain relevant in managing the increasingly complex thermal challenges of next-generation compute

The first article in this series explores how the industry underestimated the tipping point for liquid cooling adoption. Instead of gradual growth, AI and HPC thermal densities surged, making liquid cooling an overnight necessity. Cold plate emerged as the go-to solution due to its precision cooling for high-power chips like CPUs and GPUs. However, as platform density evolves and thermal loads become more dispersed, immersion cooling adoption is expected to rise alongside cold plate cooling to address broader heat challenges

If 2023 marked the data center industry's "summer of AI" with regard to market and technology advancements, it definitely now makes sense to think in terms of this year's "summer of liquid cooling." As empirically confirmed from zeitgeist absorbed at annual industry events Data Center World and 7x24 Exchange, the clarion call for such a contention may have come this Spring with the March launch of the Liquid Cooling Coalition (LCC).

As someone deeply immersed in the world of cooling technologies for data centers, I often find myself in conversations about the potential and limitations of immersion cooling. The very idea of submerging expensive and intricate electronic components in liquid to keep them cool sounds more like science fiction than a viable solution. But it is real and already making a splash. However, when I talk to industry colleagues and clients, a recurring theme I encounter is the perceived “ceiling” of immersion cooling. There's a notion that while it may be innovative, its capacities are limited and might not keep up with the ever-growing demands of modern computing.
