The Rising Trend in Data Centers: Liquid Cooling Technology

With the rapid development of AI technology, the demands on data centers and servers are undergoing a profound transformation. The rise of high-performance computing (HPC) and generative AI has significantly increased server power consumption and cooling requirements. Traditional air-cooling methods seem insufficient to meet these challenges, and liquid cooling technology is gradually becoming the mainstream solution.

What’s Driving the Shift to Liquid Cooling?
Take NVIDIA’s latest GB200 chip as an example—its thermal design power (TDP) reaches 1,200 watts, surpassing the capabilities of conventional air-cooling systems. Liquid cooling, with its superior thermal conductivity and stability, is emerging as the ideal solution for AI servers.
Market analysis predicts that by 2025, the adoption rate of liquid cooling systems in AI servers will reach 14%, rising to 22% by 2026. This highlights liquid cooling's growing dominance in the industry.

Eco-Friendliness and Market Opportunities
Liquid cooling not only enhances cooling efficiency but also reduces energy consumption and carbon footprints in data centers. For instance, Supermicro partnered with ASE Technology and Chunghwa System Integration to build Taiwan’s first liquid-cooled data center, which improves computational power while significantly lowering supply chain carbon emissions.

Taiwan’s Active Role in Liquid Cooling Development
Taiwanese cooling giants are transitioning from air-cooling modules to liquid-cooling solutions. Collaborating with major players, they are driving the industrialization of liquid cooling technologies. These efforts underscore Taiwan’s increasing importance in the global cooling technology supply chain.

Is Your Business Ready for the Liquid Cooling Era?
This shift marks a significant transformation in the data center and server industry and offers a remarkable opportunity. Whether you're a technology developer, a system integrator, or someone passionate about green technology, liquid cooling could inspire new pathways for innovation.
