Liquid cooling is no longer experimental in 2024-2026: AI rack densities can no longer be cooled effectively with air, and the TCO of the new options is competitive. The question is no…
Once racks exceed 30 kW, air cooling stops being a technically reasonable option. Air density and specific heat impose a physical ceiling that no incremental improvement to CRAC units (Computer Room Air…
Quoting air conditioning for a data center is not like quoting it for an office. The most common mistake is treating the problem as “buying a bigger unit,” when in reality it…
Today’s AI racks operate at power levels that make traditional room cooling obsolete. When a rack moves from 30 kW to 60-100 kW, the cooling dynamic changes completely. The room stops breathing,…
A home AC can be perfect for a boardroom and useless for a data center. What changes between one and the other? When we talk about cooling in a data center, it…
Spoiler: no, not always. The idea that perimeter AC requires a raised floor persists in many projects, but modern design offers real alternatives. When planning precision cooling for a technical room, one…
Liquid cooling uses fluids to remove heat from electronic equipment. This is much more effective than air. For example, water is more than 20 times better at conducting heat than air. There…
History of Schneider Electric, APC and Uniflair Schneider Electric acquired APC in 2007, a leader in UPS and cooling. APC, founded in 1981, revolutionized power protection. Uniflair, created in 1988, joined in…
