Top 5 Takeaways from ASHRAE’s 2024 Liquid Cooling Guidelines
AI is driving new challenges for data centers, and liquid cooling is essential to managing extreme chip power. ASHRAE’s 2024 guidelines offer critical insights into maintaining resilient cooling systems, and Motivair is perfectly positioned to meet these needs.
With decades of experience in the field, Motivair’s advanced technology is designed to handle AI’s growing demands, ensuring continuous uptime and efficiency. Here are the top 5 ways Motivair aligns with ASHRAE’s latest recommendations for liquid cooling in data centers.
1. Reliable Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs)
ASHRAE highlights the role of CDUs in separating the Facility Water System (FWS) from the Technology Cooling System (TCS). Motivair’s CDUs are designed to ensure fluid management, protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining efficiency, even under the demands of AI.
2. Redundancy That Keeps AI Running
ASHRAE’s guidelines stress the importance of redundancy. Motivair’s cooling systems are built with active redundancy and resiliency features, ensuring continuous operation during power shifts or system changes, keeping AI workloads seamless.
3. Mitigating AI’s Top Two Cooling Risks
Modern chips are entering uncharted territory, increasing the risk of throttling and hardware damage. Motivair’s systems manage extreme chip power and help prevent overheating, directly addressing these ASHRAE concerns. To mitigate these risks, it’s critical to follow ASHRAE’s S-Class temperature guidelines, which recommend maintaining lower water inlet temperatures in high-density AI environments. This not only prevents performance throttling but also extends ride-through time, ensuring hardware stays within safe operating temperatures.
4. Maintaining Coolant Quality for Long-Term Performance
ASHRAE emphasizes maintaining coolant quality, and Motivair delivers. Our integrated monitoring tools ensure that fluid remains at optimal performance, reducing the chances of equipment failure and keeping energy costs down.
5. Scalable Solutions for the Future of AI
As AI expands, Motivair’s scalable cooling systems align with ASHRAE’s vision for handling future chip power demands. Our solutions are built to meet today’s needs while adapting to tomorrow’s.
