Data Center Cooling Options
Modern data centers require advanced cooling solutions to operate at peak performance. As one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world, data centers are changing how we develop new cooling technology at a record pace. The data center market is projected to continue growing by 8.5% per year over the next five years, to over $600 billion by 2029.* Artificial … [Read more...]
Spacecraft Thermal Control in Extreme Environments: Surviving Lunar Night and Martian Dust
Abstract Extreme conditions in interplanetary environments, like lunar night at -173°C and Martian dust storms, require new thermal control systems that go beyond traditional electronics cooling approaches. Martian dust consists primarily of iron-oxide and silicate particles with diameters ranging from 1 to 3 μm. These particles are electrostatically adhesive, capable of … [Read more...]
Condenser Array Design for High-Density Data Centers
Introduction In recent years, the power density of server racks has surged past 100 kW/rack [1] to support compute-intensive workloads such as artificial intelligence and data analytics. Cooling systems play an increasingly important role in enabling such densification improvements and in improving overall data center energy consumption, equipment reliability, and total cost … [Read more...]
