Liquid-to-liquid “Heat Exchangers”

exchange heat between datacenter

liquid loop and server liquid loops.

Datacenter and server liquids are

kept separate and are never mixed

Warm water from datacenter

dry cooler or cooling tower

enters RackCDU and the

heated water returns

Tubes move cooling liquid to and

from RackCDU to blade servers

Pump/cold plate units atop CPUs

(or GPUs) circulate liquid through

server and RackCDU, collecting

heat and returning to RackCDU for

exchange with datacenter liquid
