Aurora liquid cooling

Liquid cooling for Eurotech

Liquid cooling for us is:• Hot. So, using hot water wherever possible• Direct. Taken inside the rack in direct contact with the

components• Green. Able to use free cooling in any climate zone• Comprehensive. Cools any source of heat in the server

(including power supply)• Serviceable and safe. Allows ease of maintenance and

doesn’t represent a risk for the electronics in the server

What liquid cooling is for us

Aurora liquid cooling

• The main components of the Aurora cooling system are:• Cooling circuit, that is the pipe work which bring the water to the heat

exchanger and back to the rack• The heat exchanger for free cooling• Distribution pipes which are mounted in the rack• The back plane, which collects the liquid from the distribution pipes and

distributes it to the cold plates• Cold plates: aluminum boards which are intimately coupled with the electronic

boards of compute nodes, PCUs and switches• Quick disconnects that are mounted on the cold plates for inflow and outflow

of liquid in the plates. The quick disconnects are fine pieces of engineering that seal immediately when the boards is extracted from the back plane. No leakage is possible
