Engineering tools for the liquid loop
Each tool does one back-of-the-envelope calculation for the liquid loop, and states the assumptions it makes. Use them to sharpen a question before you bring it to us or to anyone else.
Liquid cooling simulator
Transient thermal model of the whole loop, from chip junction to heat rejection: pick a rack platform, climate and pipework, then watch junction temperature, flow, pressure drop and pPUE settle, and stress it with load steps, pump loss or fouling. Includes pipe sizing and a 3D view.
Open sim.nextgenergy.ai →02CDU catalog
Public specifications for coolant distribution units from more than thirty vendors, each row linked to the vendor datasheet, with the rating conditions shown next to the capacity so the numbers can actually be compared.
Open →Return-water grade → feasible heat buyers
Enter the temperature your loop returns at. See which off-takers can physically use the heat, which need a heat-pump lift, and roughly how much.
Open →04CDU approach and free-cooling estimator
See how the approach across the CDU heat exchanger moves facility supply temperature, and what that does to free-cooling hours in your climate.
Open →05Turnover self-check
Ten boundaries, three questions each. Score a project honestly and get a number you can compare next time.
