Maximise Energy and Water Efficiency in AI Data Centers

Direct liquid cooling energy and water efficiencies

Liquid cooling can cut your data center's energy and water use — but not every design and operational choice delivers the same impact.

This white paper quantifies which of the 7 design factors and 3 operational practices matter most, so you can prioritise the choices that move the needle - backed by real savings data, not just directional guidance.

30–60% energy reduction vs air cooling with direct-to-chip liquid cooling - without adiabatic water use.

20°C rise in TCS loop temperature can cut energy 30-40% and water use 40-60% (adiabatic heat rejection).

What you'll learn

How direct-to-chip liquid cooling cuts energy 30–60% vs air cooling without adiabatic water use
Why a 20°C rise in TCS temperature can cut energy 30–40% and water 40–60%
How liquid-to-liquid CDUs, higher rack density and heat re-use improve sustainability
The 7 design factors and 3 operational choices that determine real-world efficiency

From component selection and intelligent controls to heat re-use and future trends get the analysis that helps you maximise the energy and water efficiencies of direct liquid cooling.
