Video of Air Cooled vs WaterCooled Data Centers in HVAC course by MEP Academy channel, video No. 100 free certified online
How do data centers remove the enormous amounts of heat generated by modern servers, AI workloads, and GPU clusters?
In this video, we'll compare air-cooled and water-cooled data center cooling systems and explain how each approach removes heat from mission-critical IT equipment. You'll learn how air-cooled chillers, dry coolers, water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, and chilled water systems work together to keep data centers operating safely and efficiently.
We'll also discuss why many hyperscale data centers use water-cooled central plants, the advantages and disadvantages of each cooling strategy, and how operators balance energy efficiency, water consumption, reliability, and operating costs.
Whether you're new to data centers or work in the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, facilities, or engineering industries, this video will help you understand one of the most important decisions in modern data center design.
