Data centers: Water quality and fouling risks in direct‑to‑chip cooling systems
August 10, 2026
Brandon White, Engineer, Experimental Research The choice of cooling method for a data center is driven primarily by water availability, material compatibility, local regulations, and budget constraints. Direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling is a common water-based solution, offering high efficiency—recent benchmarks indicate that 48% of facilities with adequate water resources have adopted it...

Data centers: Innovations to handle increasing heat loads with limited cooling resources
June 08, 2026
Brandon White, Engineer, Experimental Research Electricity demand from data centers in the U.S. could double or even triple by 2028, potentially accounting for roughly 12% of total national electricity consumption. The surge is driven by GPU‑accelerated AI workloads, which generate considerably higher heat fluxes than traditional servers. To keep pace with the...
