Asetek Inc., a supplier of liquid cooling solutions, introduced its patented ISAC (Inside Server Air Conditioning) reference design at SC12 in Salt Lake City, Utah in mid-November. The design is marketed as “revolutionary, completely eliminating the need for CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) in the data center.”
Each CPU is liquid cooled with [the company’s] proprietary liquid cooling while a liquid-to-air heat exchanger inside the server cools the inside server air,” Asetek Inc. explains.
All air recirculates inside the server and is sealed off from exiting and conveying heat into the outside surroundings.
The company adds that “each component inside the server sees the same temperature and air-flow as it would in a traditional data center install.”
