Direct Liquid Cooling from Rittal

Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC)

DLC for High‑Density AI & HPC

Keep your AI, GPU, and CPU clusters running at peak performance with efficient, reliable, and scalable liquid cooling—delivered by Agitare Technologies in partnership with Rittal.

Why DLC, Why Now?

Modern AI/ML, microservices, and edge workloads are pushing rack power far beyond what air cooling was designed to handle. It’s now common to see 50–100 kW per rack for high‑performance clusters, while older “CPU racks” were typically 10–17 kW.

A single modern AI GPU can draw ~3.7 MWh per year—comparable to the annual usage of many households—making advanced heat removal essential for stability and efficiency.

Higher Sustained Performance

Prevents throttling in CPUs/GPUs running up to 700 W TDP, ensuring consistent compute power even under full AI/HPC workloads.

Improved System Stability

Keeps components in optimal temperature ranges, reducing unexpected slowdowns or shutdowns.

Extended Hardware Lifespan

Lower sustained heat stress means less wear and tear on high-value processors, boards, and memory modules.

Massive Energy Savings

Achieve power reductions of up to 90% compared to traditional air-cooling methods.

Designed for Extreme Density

Handles 50–100 kW+ per rack loads—ideal for AI, HPC, and edge deployments.

Proven with Leading AI Hardware

Supports cutting-edge GPUs such as NVIDIA A100 with up to 400 W TDP each.

The AgitareTech + Rittal Advantage

As a Rittal manufacturer rep, AgitareTech brings a complete DLC portfolio and solution design expertise—from racks and manifolds to room‑level heat rejection and service. Rittal’s single‑phase DLC lineup spans Liquid‑to‑Air (RPU) and Liquid‑to‑Liquid (CDU) systems with capacities at 30/60/90/500/1000 kW to match your density and growth.

Where DLC Fits Best?

  • AI training and inference GPU clusters
  • HPC and research compute nodes
  • Edge and micro‑datacenters with constrained floorspace
  • Edge and micro‑datacenters with constrained floorspace

These deployments benefit most from DLC’s ability to remove high heat flux at the source and maintain deterministic performance.
