Abstract Data centers now face unparalleled thermal management difficulties because of the swift expansion of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The inefficiency of traditional air-cooling methods to match modern processors' growing power densities has led to the development of innovative cooling solutions. This research investigates air-assisted liquid cooling (AALC) racks which utilize a hybrid cooling method that integrates both air and liquid cooling advantages. Data centers can increase their cooling performance through AALC systems which provide a promising solution without requiring significant infrastructure changes.
In this research we conduct a complete examination of AALC rack systems by analyzing their design principles and evaluating their performance characteristics alongside energy efficiency enhancements. Our research examines the performance of AALC racks in different operational conditions to determine how they stack up against standard air-cooling systems. The study investigates how AALC implementation affects data center metrics like Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and examines possibilities for raising computational density.
The study shows that AALC rack systems provide substantial cooling efficiency benefits because some setup types deliver liquid cooling that addresses up to 74.9% of heat load. The hybrid method enables both increased chilled water temperatures and supply air temperatures which results in significant power consumption reductions for facilities. The research findings demonstrate that AALC solutions can be scaled effectively to meet the needs of various data center sizes and configurations.
