Data centers are consuming staggering amounts of water for cooling, particularly through evaporative cooling, totaling seven billion liters annually in parts of the US. As rack densities increase and environmental concerns grow, the demand for efficient cooling solutions escalates. Alternatives like closed loop systems, direct to chip cooling, and immersion cooling are gaining traction. Sanjeev Khanna emphasizes that demand for these technologies is increasing due to the power demands of data centers and recognizes the inevitability of using liquid cooling to address the fundamental physics challenges.
Sanjeev Khanna states, "I joke about it like I've been schlepping direct-to-chip for 20 years. The good thing is, there are a lot more people. Innovation is going into it because I think there is demand now. It never took off [before]."
Khanna highlights, "There's a physics problem now, and to solve the physics problem, people are going to need liquid. It's not a choice."
