SK Telecom (SKT), Iceotope Technologies, and SK Enmove have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of liquid cooling solutions that optimize energy-efficiency in AI data centers.
Under the MoU, the three parties will collaborate to deploy Precision Liquid Cooling (PLC) using SK Enmove’s thermal fluid at SKT’s AI Data Center Testbed. The deployment is to demonstrate PLC’s value in cooling efficiency and power savings. SKT will develop an integrated Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) to support various liquid cooling systems with the technical support of Iceotope.
Going forward, SKT plans to develop an AI-based autonomous cooling system. The AI Autonomous Cooling System will analyze the temperature and power load in the AI data center and automatically control the supply temperature and flow rate of thermal fluids in the CDUs to increase the operational efficiency of the AI data center.
