Redefining Hydronic Infrastructure for D2C Liquid Cooling
The article discusses the transition from air-based to direct-to-chip liquid cooling in data centers to support AI and high-performance computing. It argues that polymer piping systems are superior to traditional metal piping due to corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and lower carbon footprints, concluding with a profile of Georg Fischer.
