/PRZWT/SHENZHEN,November 15,2024-Recently,the 5th Thermal Management Materials and Technology Conference of 2024 was held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center.The conference not only brought together a number of experts and scholars in the thermal management industry and more than 2,000 industry professionals to"discuss"on the same stage,but also more than 300 companies exhibited their latest thermal management products and innovative technology solutions,fully demonstrating the cutting-edge theories and technical products of the thermal management industry.
It is understood that this thermal management conference invited Li Baowen,an academician of the European Academy of Sciences and a professor at Southern University of Science and Technology,Feng Wei,a professor at Tianjin University and director of the Thermal Conductive Composites Professional Committee of the China Composites Society,Professor Luo Xiaobing,a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology and a recipient of the National Outstanding Youth Fund,and other well-known experts and scholars,as well as well-known technical experts in the thermal management industry.They gave on-site speeches and conducted exciting discussions and in-depth discussions on the basic research and industrial application of thermal management materials and technologies.
300602.SZ,as one of the leading companies in the domestic thermal management industry,will naturally not be absent from this industry-renowned materials and technology conference.Dr.Luo Mei,technical director of Feirongda,represented Feirongda to participate in the 5th Thermal Management Materials and Technology Conference and delivered a keynote speech on"Application and Development of Liquid Cooling and Cooling Technology".
Feirongda masters the core technology of liquid cooling
According to Dr.Luo Mei,liquid cooling,as a more powerful heat dissipation technology than air cooling,can be widely used in data centers,computers,charging piles,new energy vehicles,power batteries,energy storage,5G base stations,household appliances and other fields,with broad application prospects.Feirongda,as an established enterprise in the thermal management industry,began to lay out the liquid cooling field many years ago.After years of accumulation,it has formed a strong ability to design,manufacture and test liquid cooling products.
Dr.Luo Mei also briefly introduced Feirongda's data center liquid cooling solution.Feirongda's data center liquid cooling solution includes a primary side system and a secondary side system.The primary side system is mainly a closed cooling tower,which can be heat exchanged by outdoor air,spray water and circulating cooling water in the pipe to achieve heat dissipation.The secondary side system includes three components:cooling capacity distribution unit,rack+water collector+quick changer,IT equipment and cold plate,which can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the data center liquid cooling system.
It is reported that the liquid-cooled cold plate module is one of the important products of Feirongda.The company has mastered independent core technologies in the manufacturing process of welding liquid-cooled modules,power supply liquid-cooled modules,floating modules,etc.,and has perfect processes and related equipment in the testing process.Among them,in the server field,Feirongda's single-phase liquid-cooled cold plate modules,two-phase liquid-cooled modules and other liquid-cooled products can meet the needs of different customers in different products,different scenarios and different use levels,and has reached supply cooperation with domestic mainstream server manufacturers.
In addition to data centers,Feirongda's liquid cooling products can also be widely used in new energy vehicles,charging piles,power generation,and rail transit.
Liquid cooling enters the period of explosive growth
Driven by the AI big model,the global demand for computing power has grown rapidly,which in turn has led to the continuous expansion of the scale of computing power infrastructure such as large data centers,and the demand for AI servers has also risen.At the same time,the heat dissipation problem caused by high computing power is also becoming more and more serious,which increases the demand for liquid-cooled servers with stronger heat dissipation capacity.
According to IDC's"China Semi-Annual Liquid-Cooled Server Market(First Half of 2024)Tracking",China's liquid-cooled server market increased by 98.3%year-on-year in the first half of 2024,the market size reached 1.26 billion US dollars,and the shipment volume increased by 81.8%year-on-year.The liquid-cooled server market will continue to maintain high growth.IDC also expects that from 2023 to 2028,China's liquid-cooled server will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 47.6%,and the market size is expected to reach 10.20 billion US dollars in 2028.
The IDC report believes that liquid-cooled servers saw such a significant growth in the first half of the year,mainly due to factors such as the acceleration of the infrastructure update cycle and the increase in investment in the construction of intelligent computing infrastructure equipment,which led to the advance of the procurement cycle of liquid-cooled servers in related industries,driving the explosive growth of the market.
Among all liquid cooling technologies,cold plate liquid cooling and immersion liquid cooling are the most mainstream liquid cooling forms at present.Among them,cold plate liquid cooling is the most widely used.The reason is that it has more advantages in terms of transformation cost,maintainability and compatibility,and has become the mainstream choice in the current and even future market.At present,cold plate liquid cooling occupies an absolute leading position in the market,accounting for more than 95%of the liquid cooling market.Although immersion liquid cooling has better cooling effect,it has general maintainability and compatibility,and is mostly used in high power density cabinets.
Although submerged liquid cooling is currently in a high-growth stage,its market share is still small.
According to the IDC report,the current liquid cooling in the data center market penetration rate is about 7%-8%.It is expected that the growth of AI servers will drive the accelerated expansion of the liquid cooling market.The liquid cooling in the data center penetration rate of 20%will be an important milestone.Unlike the global liquid cooling market concentrated in a few large users of data centers,China's liquid cooling market has a rich industrial chain,broad application scenarios and industry coverage,and is expected to take the lead in reaching a 20%penetration rate.
Looking to the future,with the continuous demand for industrial upgrading in data centers,new energy vehicles,communications and other industries,liquid cooling is just around the corner,and the entire liquid cooling industry is also expected to enter an unprecedented period of rapid development.The leading companies in the liquid cooling industry represented by Feirongda are expected to become the biggest beneficiaries.
