Data Center Liquid Immersion Cooling Market
Liquid immersion cooling is the most commonly used technology for cooling data centers, and it is increasing in popularity. Datacenter liquid immersion cooling entails directly immersing IT hardware such as memory, discs, and CPUs in non-conductive dielectric liquids that serve as coolants for the system. The heat generated by these systems is transported to coolants immediately, effectively, and efficiently, avoiding the need for active cooling components such as heat sinks, because liquid immersion cooling has high heat transfer, it decreases the chip’s temperature rise over the coolant temperature, it is more effective and efficient than traditional air or water cooling. Increased data center construction, reduced data center power usage, and a preference for data center liquid immersion cooling due to rising water scarcity will provide enormous growth prospects. Immersion cooling is an IT cooling technique that involves immersing a big power distribution component in a thermally conductive dielectric fluid. fans, and interface materials, which are usually employed for air cooling.
Liquid cooling technologies offer low-carbon cooling, and the growing number of hyperscale data centers is driving demand for direct liquid cooling solutions in the Data Center Liquid Immersion Cooling Market. Furthermore, the benefits provided by these systems, such as efficient cooling for high-speed computing, are projected to boost market expansion. Increased data center construction, reduced data center power usage, and a preference for data center liquid immersion cooling due to rising water scarcity will provide enormous growth prospects. However, the availability of alternate cooling technologies, a lack of demand and awareness, and expensive maintenance costs may stymie market expansion.
Market Dynamics:
Driver: Increasing number of data centers and server density
The increased demand for storage, computational activity, and networking has subsequently lead to increased size, density, and complexity of data servers. This has resulted in an upsurge in demand for data centers globally. The U.S. also has leading data center operators such as AT&T, Equinix, Verizon, Lumen Technology, and Digital Realty. It has also been observed that since 2016, the average server rack density has also been increasing as the world recognizes the importance of consumer data.
Restraint: High capital expenditure and maintenance
Installing liquid cooling solutions is a costly investment than installing air cooling equipment, and components as the accessories needed for liquid cooling need to be of specific quality. Improper maintenance of liquid can lead to development of biological pathogens, sedimentation, and contaminants. Hence, equipment made of special material such as bronze, cupronickel, or titanium can also be used leading to an overall increase in capital expenditure during the installation of liquid cooling solutions. There is also need for installing different instrumentation devices and controls in case there is a leakage of liquid. All these factors add to the increased expenditure while installing liquid cooling solutions.
Opportunity: Adoption in low-density data centers
Immersion liquid cooling solutions are expected to reduce operating expenditure of low-density data centers. Engineered fluid coolants are easily available in the market due to presence of several large players, this is also expected to reduce the upfront building costs of chassis in which servers are immersed. In recent times, immersion liquid cooling solutions have witnessed increased adoption from the crypto currency segment of the financial market. By increasing the hash rates through overclocking in crypto currency mining, low-density centers function efficiently. Such benefits are expected to provide opportunities for growth of the liquid cooling solutions in data centers.
Challenges: Lack of standardization
In computing environments, standardized products are compatible and are preferred by users worldwide. Proprietary systems which are incompatible for users create a big barrier and this acts as a major obstacle in the broad adoption of any technology in the computational world. Hence, the lack of standardization in liquid cooling solutions acts as a major challenge for this market.
