Park Place Technologies specializes in delivering innovative IT infrastructure solutions to help organizations optimize performance, reduce costs, and address the challenges of high-density computing environments.

As data centers face increasing demands from AI and HPC workloads, a liquid cooled data center offers the efficiency, sustainability, and scalability for today’s hyper-growth pace. Explore our cutting-edge liquid cooling solutions and technology maintenance services, designed to maximize your IT investments.

Benefits of Data Center Liquid Cooling Systems

Improved Energy Efficiency

By switching to non-conductive liquid cooling, you can lower your operational costs, minimize your carbon footprint, and increase your server density, ultimately maximizing your data center’s capacity and efficiency.
Enhanced Performance & Reliability

With liquid cooling, your servers can run at higher clock speeds, delivering enhanced performance for demanding applications. This advanced cooling method efficiently dissipates heat, extending the lifespan of your hardware and reducing the likelihood of failures and maintenance needs.
Minimized Environmental Impact

Reduced energy consumption translates to a smaller carbon footprint contributing to sustainability goals.
Support for High TDP (Thermal Design Power)

CPUs and GPUs into thousands of watts per chip vs. 200–300x ceiling with air cooling.
Reduced Noise

Full Immersion Liquid Cooling solutions eliminates the need for server fans, significantly reducing noise levels in your data center. This creates a quieter and more pleasant working environment for your personnel.
Increased Computing Density

Liquid cooled data center racks allow for greater server rack density. Rack density can be increased 2x to 10x vs. non-liquid cooled data centers.
Scalability

Can be scaled to meet the demands of high-performance computing environments.
Simple Installation

Can be quickly applied to a single server or an entire cabinet, with or without facility water.
Reduced Water Consumption

Direct component cooling combined with efficient heat transfer reduces water consumption by over 40%.

Types of Liquid Cooling Systems

Immersion Cooling

Immersion cooling submerges IT hardware in thermally conductive dielectric liquid, offering maximum cooling efficiency. This technology eliminates server fans and air cooling entirely.

It is also a unique solution to protect critical IT hardware located in harsh climates and environmental conditions like deserts and extreme, high-humidity regions.

Comprehensive cooling for all server components
Highest cooling efficiency
Scalability for high-density server setups

Direct-to-Chip (DTC) Cooling

Direct-to-Chip cooling applies chilled fluid directly to processors (CPUs and GPUs) for efficient heat exchange. This technology prevents server throttling, maximizes compute power, and reduces rack-density space requirements.

Enable max GPU and CPU workload computing
Higher precision and efficiency
Ideal for high-performance applications

Rear-Door Cooling

Rear-Door Liquid Cooling is the fastest, least invasive, and simplest liquid cooling solution available.

Rear-Door cooling uses a liquid-cooled door component system that is attached to rear of a server rack. This cooling component forces cooled air through the rack and over the IT hardware, cooling the hot interior components and dramatically reducing hot air from exiting the rack into the data center.

This approach reduces reliance on facility HVAC systems and offers immediate scalability for high-density workloads.

Maximized Rack Density: Boost your rack density up to 100KW or 150KW without expanding your data center footprint.
Reduced Energy Consumption: Achieve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.1, improving energy efficiency.
Simplified Deployment: Ideal for retrofitting legacy equipment or upgrading modern storage arrays, CPUs, and GPUs.
