What is Direct Liquid
Cooling(DLC) and How Does It Work?

img

Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) is an advanced cooling technology used in high-performance computing systems. DLC cools processors, graphics processing units (GPUs), and other heat-generating components by directly contacting them with a liquid. The system works by using cooling blocks directly attached to the components and circulating the cooling liquid through these blocks. The liquid rapidly absorbs the heat and transfers it out of the system, where it is cooled and recirculated. This method offers much higher cooling efficiency compared to traditional air cooling, as liquid is much more effective at transferring heat than air.

As the need for greater data processing capacity grows, immersion cooling technology will become indispensable for many industries and businesses. Even solutions that are relatively new today, such as Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC), may not be sufficient in the future. However, immersion cooling offers an efficient and sustainable cooling solution, even for large data centers and high-density computing environments. By reducing energy consumption and operational costs, it minimizes the carbon footprint of data centers and helps businesses meet their environmental responsibilities. Market trends suggest that immersion cooling will become a standard cooling method in the IT sector in the coming years, not only meeting current needs but also shaping the data centers of the future.
