Compute Infrastructure Renaissance: Rack-Mounted Full Immersion Liquid Cooling Systems Emerge as Strategic Choice for Leading Data Center Vendors
Time:2025-06-25 source:YUANYING LIAO


According to the China AI Computing Power Development and Evaluation Report, China’s artificial intelligence (AI) computing power market size is projected to reach $25.9 billion by 2025, marking a 36.2% year-on-year increase from 2024. Meanwhile, AI data center (AIDC) IT energy consumption is expected to hit 77.7 terawatt-hours (TWh)—double the 2023 level. As the market grapples with soaring computing power demand and energy costs, high-performance, high-security energy and power solutions have become the market focus.

Kortrong Energy Storage, a leader in integrated "green power + green computing" solutions, is driving AIDC upgrades from "device-level optimization" to a "system-level revolution." Below are key highlights:


01 Liquid Cooling Transitions to Compelling Requirement at AIDC Inflection Point

Global compute power growth necessitates liquid cooling adoption as air cooling fails beyond 25kW/GPU rack thresholds. Liquid cooling's lifecycle cost advantages, coupled with China's "dual-carbon" policy and "East-West Computing Resource Transfer" initiative (mandating PUE<1.25for new hyperscale data centers), accelerate deployment. IDC projects China's liquid-cooled server market will grow at 46.8% CAGR (2024-2029). Rising ODM demands drive partnerships with specialized providers like Kortrong – the sole scaled manufacturer of rack-mounted immersion cooling systems.

02 Source-Grid-Load-Storage + Immersion Cooling Delivers 1.05 PUE for Decisive Energy Savings

By combining source-grid-load-storage (SGLS) technology with immersion liquid cooling, Kortrong slashes energy costs and carbon footprints:

  • Green Power Optimization: In regions with abundant renewables (e.g., solar, wind), SGLS enables independent AIDC power supply via local grids, reducing reliance on traditional electricity.

  • Energy Efficiency: Immersion cooling minimizes auxiliary power consumption, achieving PUE ≤1.05. For example:

    • 10.8 kW/m² power density and 8.6 PFlops/m² compute density—264% higher than air-cooled data centers.

    • A 10,000-petaflop AIDC saves 2.018 million kWh/year and ¥11.1 million/year in operational costs.

03 Prefabricated Modular Delivery: Flexible, Scalable, and Efficient

Traditional concrete data centers face challenges in construction timelines, capital intensity, and maintenance. Kortrong’s immersion cooling + pre-assembled container solution addresses these pain points:

  • Speed: Prefabricated modules reduce deployment time to 3–6 months, with 1–2 weeks for pre-tested power/cooling units.

  • Scalability: Modular "Lego-style" design supports incremental expansion.

  • Cost Efficiency: High-density immersion cooling reduces infrastructure costs, while customizable container shells lower manufacturing expenses.

  • Maintenance: Rack-based design allows server maintenance in a half-drawn state, optimizing space utilization compared to single-tier tank systems.
