AI NewsWaveLG Electronics, GS E&C and GRC to Develop Immersion Cooling for AI Data Centers
Key points
- LG Electronics, GS E&C and GRC sign three-way MOU
- Joint development of immersion cooling for AI data centers
- Aim for demonstration and integrated standard design
LG Electronics and GS Engineering & Construction will develop immersion cooling technology for artificial intelligence data centers together with U.S. immersion cooling specialist GRC. The three companies signed a memorandum of understanding on "technology development and facility technology cooperation for data center immersion cooling and integrated cooling solutions" at GS E&C's headquarters in Jongno District, Seoul, on the 13th, Electric Times (전기신문), Digital Daily and others reported.
As the content of the cooperation, Electric Times cited technology demonstration and development of an integrated standard design. EBN explained that the plan is to verify the real-world applicability of immersion cooling and prepare a standard data center design to expand the cooling solutions business. According to Techworld News, GRC's full name is Green Revolution Cooling.
Chosun Biz explained that after air cooling and liquid cooling, the business is extending to immersion cooling, which cools semiconductors by submerging them directly in a special coolant. Techworld News also reported that LG Electronics is expanding its cooling portfolio to immersion cooling and moving to verify the technology and develop a standard design.
Outlets frame the story differently. iNews24 centered on GS E&C, saying that after building cooperation frameworks in power equipment and modular data centers, it is extending the scope to cooling technology to improve its AI data center design and construction competitiveness. Digital Daily and Chosun Biz reported with LG Electronics at the center.
