Liquid cooling firm CoolIT has designed a new coldplate for high-density IT equipment.

The company this week announced that it has developed the first 15kW coldplate design, which it claims delivers nearly four times the performance of its earlier single-phase direct liquid cooling (DLC) coldplate designs.

CoolIT said the latest design shows that single‑phase DLC offers “significant performance runway” and “remains the de facto cooling standard” for high‑density AI systems.

"Single-phase DLC is already cooling millions of AI accelerators today. This achievement shows it is also the architecture to cool AI infrastructure well into the future," said Kamal Mostafavi, CTO of CoolIT Systems. "With validated performance at 15kW, CoolIT has proven that single-phase DLC is not only practical to cool millions of the most advanced AI chips today – but ready to cool the coming generations of GPUs and AI accelerators."
