One of the big problems of data centers is cooling management that not only focuses on components such as cpu and gpu, In addition, the rest of the components must be kept at a good temperature. For this you need a lot of energyas some data centers have opted even for the air conditioning. From OVHCloud they have developed a new hybrid cooling system based on the immersion of the components in liquid together with a liquid cooling system for the CPU and GPU.
The system consists of a cooling block that keeps the CPU and GPU cool based on liquid refrigerant together with a coil that allows greater refrigeration area. The rest of the components they are immersed in a non-conductive liquid of electricity, but if thermal which, helped with heat extractors, allow the data center to be maintained at a better temperature. This system is individually designed to be included in a three storey closet that I could hold until 24 units 2U or 48 1U.
This system allows to obtain considerable energy savings of up to 20%, with practically zero consumption of the rack. In addition, it can be implemented in places where the outside temperature is higher than usual, with up to 45º. The rack design does not include any type of fan or pump, being totally passive with the consequent noise reduction in addition to energy savings.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
