Vertiv has launched the CoolLoop Trim Cooler, a new cooling solution designed to enhance air and liquid cooling applications for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers.
The CoolLoop Trim Cooler supports hybrid-cooled and liquid-cooled environments, offering advanced thermal management in diverse climate conditions. According to Vertiv, the new system can deliver up to a 70% reduction in annual cooling energy consumption through a combination of free-cooling and mechanical operation, while providing 40% space savings compared to traditional cooling systems.
With cooling capacities of 2.6MW and 3MW in air-cooled configurations, the unit can manage fluctuating supply water temperatures up to 40°C and supports cold plate functionality at 45°C (113°F).
“AI is dramatically changing the cooling profiles of today’s data centers, requiring innovative approaches to managing the thermal challenges inherent in 100kW+ racks,” said Sam Bainborough, vice president of thermal business EMEA at Vertiv.
“Today’s announcement, and the ongoing expansion of Vertiv’s industry-leading high-density thermal management portfolio, allows us to deliver pioneering, future-ready liquid cooling and chilled water solutions to meet our customers’ AI-driven demands.”
Enhanced Efficiency and Compliance
The CoolLoop Trim Cooler can connect directly to immersion cooling systems or integrate with Vertiv’s CoolChip CDU (Coolant Distribution Units) for direct-to-chip liquid cooling. It features free cooling coils optimized for high ambient temperatures, allowing it to operate in free cooling mode across more seasons—reducing both electrical consumption and CO₂ emissions.
