Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has introduced the Liebert® VIC, its first liquid immersion cooling solution for high density-data centers.
The Liebert VIC is a single-phase immersion cooling solution that can support high-density loads of up to 100 kW per rack, utilizing warm water.
The solution was developed in partnership with GRC (Green Revolution Cooling), the leader in single-phase immersion cooling for data centers. Available throughout India, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Liebert VIC offers improved cooling efficiencies in dense computing environments that increasingly support data-intensive applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing and automation.
The Liebert VIC is a single-phase immersion cooling solution that can support high-density loads of up to 100 kW per rack, utilizing warm water. It uses the ElectroSafe™ dielectric liquid coolant, an odorless, non-toxic, single-phase coolant which is both electrically and chemically inert and has 1,200 times the heat capacity of air. This higher heat capacity means that servers with high heat densities can be cooled more effectively, reducing cooling energy costs up to 95 per cent.
“Vertiv has dramatically increased its commitment to R&D and the innovation of energy efficient and sustainable infrastructure support technologies,” said Stephen Liang, Chief Technology Officer at Vertiv. “The Liebert VIC joins a new generation of reliable thermal, power and IT management products that help data center and telecom customers to meet their efficiency goals.”
“Liquid immersion cooling is increasingly becoming an attractive option for many data center and co-location facilities, as it not only supports high-compute environments but also promises improved efficiencies, sustainability and reliability compared to traditional cooling solutions,” said Dhruv Varma, vice president of Business Development, APAC at GRC.
