Design of data centres for optimal energy efficiency.
The latest development in digitalisation has resulted in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in almost everything including web searches, apps and streaming services.
The use of this technology has resulted in more computing power which in turn has resulted in the higher cooling requirements.
To fill the void, liquid cooling has been implemented within the data centre space to accommodate the development of Artificial Intelligence.
But how does liquid cooling technology work? What design parameters makes this technology viable and where does 1 begin with the specification of operating fluid working temperatures?
Join us for this technical talk where we will answer all these questions
