Maintaining uptime and advancing sustainability through cooling management
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) is driving data center server rack densities to unprecedented levels. These powerful AI clusters generate substantial heat due to intense processing demands, making traditional air cooling increasingly insufficient.
To meet these demands, data centers are adopting advanced liquid cooling and immersion cooling technologies that offer superior thermal management and energy efficiency. But these new technologies necessitate new considerations for safety, material compatibility and fire risk.
Data centers also face pressure to reduce water consumption, prompting the shift from evaporative cooling to water-positive or closed-loop systems . Third-party certifications for water efficiency and sustainability attributes are emerging as key market differentiators.
UL Solutions offers comprehensive services for air and liquid cooling technologies — including testing, certification and Marketing Claim Verification. We help manufacturers demonstrate compliance with applicable standards, inspire trust in their marketing claims, meet market access requirements and align with data center owner and tenant expectations — empowering data center operators to adopt next-gen cooling with confidence.
