AI Computing Projects, the Build-and-Manufacture Chain Behind Heterogeneous and Liquid-Cooled Clusters
128 Racks at 20 kW Turn Liquid Cooling From Optional Into Mandatory: CDUs, Cold Plates, Piping and Power Distribution Land on the Procurement List
Three computing projects recently cleared or won approval with combined investment around 1.68 billion yuan: a heterogeneous AI computing center at 1.28 billion with Baidu as brand partner, 2,998.4 standard racks and 7,496 kilowatts of IT power; a state-owned AI computing center at 150 million where 128 of 956 racks sit at 20 kilowatts, making liquid cooling mandatory for CDUs, cold plates, piping and power distribution; and a data center equipment manufacturing project at 250 million producing outdoor power cabinets, energy-storage cabinets and 180 prefabricated data center modules a year. The two build-side projects share 7,496 kilowatts of IT power across different routes, one heterogeneous multi-chip and one high-density liquid cooling, while the make-side shortens delivery cycles. EXTRCOOL provides one-stop liquid cooling solutions.
