Munters And ZutaCore Form Strategic Alliance For Data Center Cooling Innovation

Munters and ZutaCore announced that they will integrate Munters SyCool systems with ZutaCore’s advanced 2-phase liquid cooling technology. The aim is to tackle the challenges of managing AI-generated heat more efficiently and sustainably. The result will be a system that optimizes performance, from chip level dissipation to all parts of the heat rejection cycle. It also eliminates the risks associated with potential water leakage.

“Combining the advanced closed-loop systems of Munters and ZutaCore delivers an unmatched end-to-end solution, which is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of high-density, high-value environments,” said Stefan Aspman, President of business area Data Center Technologies at Munters.

As demand for AI and data processing grows, the need for efficient cooling systems in data centers becomes increasingly important. Liquid cooling, in particular, is crucial for managing the intense heat from AI chips while maintaining sustainability.

“ZutaCore and Munters are pioneering a blueprint for sustainable AI data center architecture. It addresses intense heat loads with distinct advantages through its waterless 2-phase solution, and leads to savings in both CAPEX and OPEX, challenging other cooling technologies available today, he continues.”

“AI workloads require high GPU density and stable thermal environments to optimize performance. This is where 2-phase, direct-to-chip liquid cooling stands out from other solutions. It operates without water, optimizes space utilization, uses significantly less power, and enables heat recovery, making it the most efficient choice for AI data centers,” said Erez Freibach, co-founder and CEO at ZutaCore.

Initially, the alliance will focus on working closely with customers early in the design phase to ensure seamless integration of the combined solution. Ultimately, this approach will optimize the delivery of a fully integrated, waterless cooling solution that sets a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in data center cooling.
