Direct Liquid Cooling
Xin Networks works with various reputable cooling solutions manufacturers to enhance the energy efficiency for data centres.
Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) is an advanced thermal management solution designed to meet the demanding heat dissipation requirements of modern high-performance computing environments.
Unlike traditional air cooling, DLC circulates coolant — typically water or a specialized dielectric fluid — directly through cold plates mounted on CPUs, GPUs, and other heat-generating components, transferring heat away from critical hardware with exceptional efficiency.
This approach delivers significantly lower operating temperatures, reduced acoustic noise, and a smaller data center footprint compared to conventional air-cooled systems.
As compute densities continue to rise — particularly with the proliferation of AI accelerators and high-core-count processors — Direct Liquid Cooling has emerged as a critical enabler of sustainable, high-density infrastructure, allowing organizations to maximize performance while improving energy efficiency and lowering PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
In-Row Cooling
In-Row Cooling is a precision cooling architecture that positions cooling units directly within server rows, placing the thermal management solution as close as possible to the heat source.
Rather than relying on raised floor systems or overhead air distribution to move conditioned air across an entire data center floor, in-row cooling units draw hot exhaust air directly from the rear of adjacent server racks and return chilled air to the front — creating a highly efficient, localized cooling loop.
This containment-based approach virtually eliminates hot/cold air mixing, resulting in more predictable airflow, tighter temperature control, and significantly improved cooling efficiency.
In-row cooling is particularly well-suited for high-density deployments where traditional perimeter or room-based cooling struggles to keep pace with concentrated heat loads.
By scaling modularly alongside IT infrastructure, in-row cooling empowers data center operators to respond quickly to changing capacity demands while maintaining optimal performance, lowering energy consumption, and supporting broader sustainability and PUE improvement goals.
Cold / Hot Aisle Containment
Xin Networks has recognised the need to provide a wide range of solutions for our customers, especially within data centres. We are also aware of the need for energy and cooling efficiency following increases in heat loads per rack, companies wishing to be greener as well as the need to cut energy costs whilst in such economically tough times.
Cold / Hot Aisle Containment separates hot and cold airflows within data centres improving energy and cooling efficiency.
Some believe the key decision is whether you contain the hot or cold aisle. The facts are that the properties of hot/cold air naturally require both. For instance, hot air naturally rises. This means the focus of hot air containment should be above the rack ... not at the end of the aisle. Cold air is just the opposite. Cold air is denser and tends to drop and run across the floor (unless it is being moved by mechanical means). Thus containment for cold air is the perimeter around the racks.
Containment Systems are made up of three basic parts:
- Hot aisle ceiling partitions – Rack Hat™
- Cold aisle roof – Polar Cap™
- Aisle end doors – Sliding, hinged, strip curtain
Our Cold/Hot Aisle Containment system is a fully modular system with tool-free installation and a sliding mounting system ensuring:
- Low Installation Costs
- Fully scalable
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Changes have no need for cutting or drilling
