Advantages of our Cooling product offerings
Our cooling unit includes flow-optimised copper cold plates, best-in-class Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) with fault-detection sensors, and DLC-enabled Rear Door Heat Exchangers that can be deployed standalone or as part of a larger DLC system.
Reliability and Performance Boost
Using effective heat dissipation, they also allow for denser component packing, thereby leading to higher performance. In addition, our CDUs are equipped with sensors to monitor coolant temperature and flow rates and to detect any leakage or fault in the cooling system for seamless operations.
Overall, Direct Liquid Cooling results in a space- and cost-efficient system.
Faster and Efficient Cooling
These compact cold plates can be mounted directly over the heat-generating components. Furthermore, our heat exchangers are rear-mounted on server racks and allow the rapid dissipation of heat close to the source. Therefore, Fusion Dynamics DLC solutions are more efficient than air cooling and thus reduce your energy costs.
Easy to Deploy and Monitor
In addition, the unit includes feedback sensors that enable intelligent monitoring of your cooling system, ensuring easy fault prevention and detection.

Cooling Challenges in AI, HPC, and Cloud Computing: Why Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) is the Future
As technology continues to reshape industries, the demand for computing power is reaching unprecedented heights. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a part of everyday life, and high-performance computing (HPC) is driving breakthroughs in scientific research. Combined with the rapid growth of cloud computing services, data centers face a pressing challenge: scaling up computing density while maintaining efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
The Growing Demand for Advanced Cooling Systems
The global increase in computing power requirements has strained traditional cooling solutions. Air-cooling systems, which rely on fans and heat sinks, are struggling to keep up with the thermal demands of modern data centers. High-density servers, packed with CPUs and GPUs, generate significant heat, pushing traditional cooling systems to their limits.
Beyond inefficiency, air cooling comes with operational challenges. Vibrations from cooling fans can damage sensitive hardware components like HDDs, while excessive noise can impact the health of on-site maintenance personnel.
Adding to the complexity is the significant energy consumption of cooling systems. Data centers now account for approximately 1% of global electricity consumption, with average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) values ranging between 1.4 and 1.6. This indicates that nearly a third of data center energy is spent on facility costs, primarily air conditioning, rather than on powering IT hardware.
Enter Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC): A Game-Changing Solution
Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) has emerged as a transformative technology, addressing the inefficiencies and challenges of traditional cooling. By transferring heat away from electrical components using liquid rather than air, DLC offers several compelling benefits:
Efficiency: DLC provides a superior heat transfer mechanism, supporting higher densities of CPUs and GPUs in a compact design.
Energy Savings: Eliminating the need for large air cooling systems like fans and heat sinks reduces data center energy consumption.
Reliability: With a mature and standardized design, DLC ensures reliable operation across small-scale to exascale computing facilities.
Components of a Modern DLC System
Modern DLC solutions are designed to deliver both performance and reliability. Key components include:
These cold plates are optimized for high thermal design power (TDP) CPUs and GPUs, ensuring efficient heat dissipation. Tailored to various motherboard layouts, they enable seamless integration into liquid-cooled servers handling demanding workloads, such as generative AI applications.
Adopting liquid cooling raises concerns about potential coolant leaks. Leak sensor boards provide real-time alerts, minimizing risks and enhancing confidence in DLC deployments.
Rack manifolds connect server nodes to Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) with a space-saving design. Featuring stainless-steel construction and quick-disconnect mechanisms, they ensure safe and efficient maintenance. Parallel cooling pathways further optimize performance while facilitating scalability.
Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs)
Partnering with industry leaders like Motivair, nVent, and Delta, CDUs are integrated into DLC systems to provide efficient liquid-to-liquid cooling. These units feature redundant pumps and power supplies, ensuring reliability and minimizing downtime.
For facilities new to liquid cooling, pre-configured DLC racks, like GIGABYTE’s DL90-ST0, offer a seamless introduction. These racks integrate liquid-to-air cooling systems and verified power distribution units, enabling easy validation of various configurations.
Benefits of DLC for AI, HPC, and Cloud Computing
Increased Performance: DLC supports higher-density deployments, allowing data centers to run more powerful AI, HPC, and cloud computing applications.
Reduced Operational Costs: By minimizing the reliance on energy-intensive air cooling systems, DLC decreases operating expenses and PUE.
Enhanced Sustainability: The reduced energy footprint aligns with growing environmental concerns, making DLC a greener choice for the industry.
Embracing the Future of Cooling
Direct Liquid Cooling is no longer just an alternative — it’s becoming the standard for data centers aiming to keep pace with the evolving demands of AI, HPC, and cloud computing. As DLC technology continues to mature, its ability to deliver compact, efficient, and reliable cooling positions it as a cornerstone of modern data center design.
By adopting DLC, organizations can ensure their infrastructure remains future-proof while contributing to a more sustainable and efficient technological landscape.
