Data Center Compliance: How to Validate Cold Plate Liquid Cooling Against ASHRAE Guidelines Virtually
February 20, 2026
Today we are beyond the stage where liquid cooling is viewed as experimental, and it stands as a mainstream architectural choice for high density data centers. Cold plates, coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear door heat exchangers (RDHx), and even early two-phase systems are becoming standard topics of engineering conversations. Yet as more operators push beyond […]
Digitally Engineering the Future of Data Centers
January 27, 2026
A Conversation with Simulation Pioneer Michael Wetter As data centers scale at an unprecedented pace—driven largely by AI, cloud services, and high-density computing—the industry is confronting a new level of complexity in energy demand, cooling strategies, and the need for near-perfect uptime. Few people understand this challenge better than Dr. Michael Wetter, a leading expert […]
Turning Frost into Warmth: A Data Center Holiday Story
December 16, 2025
As the year winds down, we found inspiration far from our usual engineering corridors in a quiet little town near the North Pole. It’s a place where winter never takes a break, where lights twinkle through long nights, and where warmth is more than comfort—it’s community. This year, our team imagined a story set there. […]
Simulating Thermal Fluids: Powering Innovation Through Virtual Design
November 12, 2025
Complexities of Thermal Fluids From power generation and HVAC systems to electric vehicles and data centers, thermal fluids are central to how energy moves and systems perform. Their behavior determines efficiency, reliability, and sustainability—but it’s far from simple to predict. Real-world thermal-fluid systems are inherently nonlinear and operated dynamically, with temperature, pressure, and flow intricately […]
Simulating Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs): The Future of Data Center Cooling
June 25, 2025
Why CDUs are the key to liquid-cooling efficiency and how they can be simulated. Introduction to CDUs: A Critical Enabler Data centers are critical to modern society, and their rapid expansion—driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hyperscale infrastructure—is transforming the way we process and store data. A significant increase in electricity consumption accompanies this […]
