Valeo and ZutaCore have announced a four-year commercial agreement to address the growing demand for liquid cooling in data centres to support high-density servers. Valeo plans to deliver its first data centre cooling components to ZutaCore in the second half of 2024.
The two partners had previously announced their collaboration at CES 2023 to research and introduce a new method of liquid cooling for data centres.
Together, Valeo and ZutaCore’s waterless two-phase direct-on-chip liquid cooling solution can be implemented in new or existing data centres, delivering 10x more computing power, 50% reduction in total cost of ownership, 100% heat reuse and reduced CO2 emissions for a sustainable data centre.
The Valeo innovative Heat Reuse Unit (HRU) produces 60kW cooling power in a compact 3U form and features hot-swappable pumps to minimise maintenance downtime, delivering on enterprise class requirements.
This Heat Reuse Unit and manifolds, manufactured by Valeo, will be combined with the ZutaCore HyperCool waterless direct-on chip dielectric liquid cooling solution that can cool the most powerful processors of 1500W and more.
HyperCool meets the power demands of today’s data centres driven by High-Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning workloads, delivering the highest sustained performance while enabling server densification and reduced power usage.
“We are proud to have transformed our agreement with ZutaCore into a contract in less than a year,” said Xavier Dupont, President of Valeo Thermal Systems Business Group. “This partnership confirms Valeo’s role in leveraging its extensive knowledge of thermal systems in automotive to provide innovative cooling solutions that make data centres more reliable, but also reduce their impact on the environment.”
Erez Freibach Co-founder and CEO of ZutaCore, added: “At ZutaCore, we are committed to making net zero emissions a reality by developing innovative liquid cooling solutions for the data industry. Reducing energy, water and land usage, as well as emphasising recyclability and using sustainable materials, is critical for the data industry to achieve its net zero emissions goals. Together with Valeo and its Heat Reuse Unit that produces 60kW cooling power in a compact 3U form, ZutaCore is proud to be at the forefront of sustainable two-phase direct-on-chip waterless dielectric liquid cooling solutions.”
