The heat from the chips go into the cold plates, and then it uses liquid cooling to cool it down.

to cool the cool plates themselves.

So it's very, very efficient.

Data centers are cooled either by, they have an air-cooled design, or they have a liquid-cooled design, or they have like a hybrid air and liquid-cooled design.

The air-cooled designs use 30 to 50% of the total energy consumption for cooling.

The liquid cooled design, from what I'm reading, use maybe closer to 15%, you know, 10% to 15% of the total energy for cooling.

And again, this cold plate coolant cooled system would only be 1.1%.

So what they did was they designed a topology that could be 3D printed, right?

So the 3D printing was built into the design from the beginning.

And they found that it was incredible.

This topology optimized cold plates, even when they're made of just pure copper, nothing, not platinum or anything, right?

that had certain features.

It had a lower thermal resistance and a fixed flow rate at up to 68% lower pressure drop at equal thermal resistance, if that means anything to you, compared to other fin designs.

They said using those features when you model it, it should only require 1.1% of the total energy used by the data center to achieve adequate cooling.

which is a dramatic decrease, you know, 30 times whatever of the energy used for the conventional air cooling.

So, yeah, that could be a huge benefit.

Yeah, data centers.

Absolutely.

Data centers use a lot of energy.

That's kind of one of their key features.
