The data center thermal management market has seen rapid growth in response to the unprecedented levels of power and cooling required to support high-performance computing and AI.
LiquidStack provides a comprehensive portfolio of the industry’s most advanced, powerful and energy-efficient liquid cooling products and services. And LiquidStack’s family of solutions includes:
1.) Direct-to-Chip Cooling – LiquidStack’s universally compatible coolant distribution unit (CDU) product line is built for advanced computing applications such as generative AI and HPC. The CDW-1MW is the inaugural product in the line, and is full-load tested and ETL, CSA and CE certified, with 1,350kW of cooling capacity.
2.) Single Phase Immersion Cooling – LiquidStack’s single phase immersion cooling solution offers advanced flow technology to optimize heat transfer and rejection, with system dimensions suitable for data center retrofit and modular containers.
3.) Two Phase Immersion Cooling – The most advanced cooling technology in the market, the space-saving two phase immersion solution enhances data center efficiency and features superior thermal management with minimal energy consumption, ideal for high-density server environments.
4.) Micro Data Centers – The MicroModular and MacroModular turnkey data centers offer 250kW of liquid cooling in a small modular container and 1.5MW of liquid cooling in a full modular container, suitable for local and regional edge, and 5G use cases.
5.) Full Lifecycle Services – Services include expert installation, proactive maintenance and continuous support.
All LiquidStack products are designed and manufactured in its U.S.-based facility in Carrollton, Texas, which opened in March 2024. And the company is planning to expand its direct-to-chip CDU roadmap to align with the thermal trajectory of GPU and CPU chips. Plus LiquidStack will continue to invest in its two phase and single phase solutions to support use cases in which holistic liquid cooling is more suitable than hybrid approaches.
