This presentation compares air and liquid cooling in terms of density, energy efficiency, water strategy, and space use, and examines how liquid cooling tightly couples IT and facility systems. It also addresses GPU thermal transients and commissioning requirements, and presents a decision framework for choosing between air, liquid, and hybrid architectures in greenfield and brownfield facilities.
