Accelsius offers liquid cooling without a data center retrofit
For older air-cooled systems, the heat sinks and fans are replaced by NeuCool CPU and GPU Vaporators, which affix to the same location and footprint as the heat sinks and fans. The plumbing for vapor and liquid dielectric is also predetermined and integrated in advance. So, the new NeuCool Vaporators are integrated and validated prior to server deployments.
The vaporators (also called cold plates) are mounted directly to targeted hot-spot chips. An eco-friendly dielectric refrigerant is used to draw heat away from the chip, where it turns into a vapor. That vapor then travels through an industrial manifold to an intelligent Platform Control Unit (iPCU), condensing back into a liquid in a closed-loop system and returning to the vaporator for continued cooling.
The NeuCool architecture is heavily engineered to prevent leakage, which is a fear many people have when it comes to adopting liquid cooling. NeuCool’s modular design enables seamless integration into existing data center facilities and at the edge via water-cooled doors, dry coolers or other heat rejection methods.
