Data centers are no longer niche technical facilities. They are core for everything from AI and cloud computing to healthcare, finance, and industrial automation. As computing density increases, so does the pressure on the cooling system. Therefore, cooling is today considered critical infrastructure. And while much attention is paid to GPU, CDU and rack design above the floor, long-term stability, efficiency, and sustainability are determined below the floor in the hydronic system.
This FlowCon Topic Letter focuses on the key challenges facing modern data centers: low ΔT, rising energy costs, installation constraints, and sustainability compliance. It also outlines how an effective hydronic control strategy can make a measurable difference.
