Artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads continue to drive higher power densities in data centers, and liquid cooling is becoming increasingly important for maintaining performance and preventing thermal throttling. These data center cooling requirements have reached a critical juncture, particularly for existing facilities, commonly referred to as brownfield facilities. As scientists and researchers increasingly integrate AI into their research and operational workloads, data centers will seek to adapt their cooling infrastructure to remain relevant. However, brownfield sites face unique challenges in implementing liquid cooling solutions due to architectural and infrastructure limitations.
