Carrier takes further leap into liquid cooling
18th February 2025
USA: Carrier Ventures, the investment arm of the Carrier Global Corporation, is backing ZutaCore, a California-based innovator of two-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology for data centres.
The investment is said to align with Carrier’s strategy of providing high-tech, integrated cooling solutions to meet the critical cooling needs of data centre customers.
“Direct-to-chip liquid cooling is essential for next-generation data centers as AI drives an increase in global demand for high-density computing,” said Ajay Agrawal, Carrier’s senior vice president, global services, business development and chief strategy officer.
“Our partnership with ZutaCore will help tackle the cooling challenges of tomorrow’s data centres and will ensure optimal performance and energy-efficient solutions for our customers,” he added.
ZutaCore’s next-generation direct-to-chip, waterless, direct liquid cooling technology is designed to cool the hottest processors with 100% heat reuse. Its HyperCool technology is said to enable high sustained performance, server densification and reduced power usage.
Carrier’s investment in ZutaCore is part of its broader ambition to redefine data centre thermal management.
Earlier this month, Carrier announced QuantumLeap, described as a fully integrated suite of innovative, energy-efficient solutions for data centre thermal management designed to optimise the entire thermal lifecycle.
In addition to Carrier’s chillers and air handling products, the solutions include Carrier’s recently showcased CDU for seamless integration into direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling systems, differentiated control solutions and Carrier’s Nlyte data centre management, optimisation, and compliance reporting solutions.
