High Capacity Liquid Cooling for the AI Era

How advanced cooling keeps up with the AI revolution

Type of energy user: Digital Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence workloads push server performance to new heights, generating heat that traditional air cooling simply cannot handle. To solve this, Boyd partnered with Alfa Laval to develop a coolant distribution unit for high-density IT environments.
By integrating an ultra-compact brazed plate heat exchanger, the unit maintains optimal temperatures by transferring heat efficiently between the servers and the facility loop.
This advanced liquid cooling solution cuts cooling-related energy use by nearly 50% compared to traditional air systems, allowing operators to maximize rack density, drastically reduce power consumption, and scale their AI infrastructure efficiently without overheating.
Other benefits:
  • Enables higher compute density and footprint efficiency: Liquid cooling supports significantly higher rack power densities, allowing operators to do more with less space and delay costly data center expansion.
  • Improves system reliability and hardware performance: Precise temperature control reduces thermal stress on components, extending server lifespan and maintaining peak processing performance under heavy AI workloads.
  • Supports future-ready, scalable infrastructure: The modular, high-efficiency design makes it easier to scale cooling capacity in line with growing AI demand, while aligning with stricter sustainability and energy efficiency targets.
