Membrane evaporative cooling tech achieves record-breaking results, could be solution for next-generation AI server cooling — clocks 800 watts of heat flux per square centimeter

Cooling systems for AI servers are among the most power-hungry systems in an AI data center. According to SciTechDaily, Engineers from the University of California, San Diego, have created a brand new cooling technology using a specially engineered fiber membrane that could potentially reduce the amount of power consumption and water required for server racks full of AI GPUs.

The fiber membrane-based cooling system takes advantage of evaporative cooling to remove heat from the component(s) it is…
