Global Sourcing Spotlight: Beyond China Plus One—Building a Truly Global Supply Network
Compal Electronics, a leading server solution provider, announced today its collaboration with Intel, BP Castrol (Castrol), JWS, and Priver to launch a groundbreaking liquid cooling solution based on Intel’s Targeted Flow technology. Designed specifically for high-density servers and AI data centers, this innovative solution aims to drive the industry toward a more efficient and sustainable future.
At the heart of this collaboration is Compal’s flagship server product, the SD220-8 (2U4N), which serves as a prime example of this new technology’s capabilities. During the product development process, the team employed comprehensive and precise thermal performance evaluation methods, simulating multiple scenarios of natural and forced convection. Rigorous boundary conditions were applied to ensure scientifically validated performance comparisons across different cooling solutions.
The results demonstrate that this advanced cooling solution, powered by Intel’s Targeted Flow technology—including patented Targeted Flow Tank and Targeted Flow Heat Sink—utilizes Castrol’s immersion cooling fluid DC 20 to successfully reduce resistance by approximately threefold compared to traditional immersion cooling systems, achieving revolutionary improvements in cooling efficiency.
Tailored for High-Density Servers and AI Data Centers
This technology not only delivers breakthroughs in cooling performance but is also designed to address the unique challenges of high-density servers and AI data centers, meeting their stringent demands for high-performance computing and energy management. The solution is ready for large-scale deployment and provides Intel platform users with exceptional thermal performance design options.
Additionally, Compal and its partners are actively exploring opportunities for waste heat recovery and improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), laying the groundwork for the sustainable development of future data centers.
Revolutionizing Cooling for a Sustainable Future
The application of this innovative cooling solution extends beyond enhancing thermal performance. It opens new avenues for waste heat recovery, with the potential to convert waste heat into renewable energy, further advancing data centers toward a low-carbon economy.
Compal stated "We are honored to collaborate with Intel, BP Castrol, JWS, and Priver to bring this technology to life. Intel’s Targeted Flow technology represents not just a breakthrough in cooling solutions but also a significant milestone in delivering sustainable value to the server industry."
Compal and its partners plan to showcase this innovative technology at multiple international exhibitions, demonstrating its strong potential in real-world applications and sharing detailed solutions and future plans with the industry.
