Trendy News: The liquid cooling industry welcomes the "golden age" and Yin enterprises seize the new track of computing power and heat dissipation

On September 1st, in the exhibition hall of Lanyang (Ningbo) Technology Co., Ltd., an OPC workstation host full of "mecha wind" was running steadily. The transparent chassis is filled with clear liquid, and the core hardware such as CPU and GPU are completely immersed in it, working at full capacity. The cavity is not an ordinary liquid, but a new type of thermal conductive material working fluid independently developed by the enterprise - relying on extremely low thermal resistance to achieve almost zero loss heat exchange, greatly improving heat dissipation efficiency. We spent over a year researching and developing this submerged liquid cooling technology, overcoming multiple technical challenges such as material compatibility, sealing, and flow channel design. Finally, we bid farewell to the roaring fans and scorching heat sinks of the server, "said Wang Mengcheng, co-founder of the company.
With the concentrated explosion of AI big models and computing power demand, the global intelligent computing industry has entered a period of rapid development. Faced with the heat generation of AI chips and high-performance processors, which can easily reach hundreds or even kilowatts, traditional air-cooled cooling solutions have gradually approached the physical limits of engineering feasibility in terms of energy efficiency and space utilization.
The key to breaking the deadlock lies in technological restructuring. Lanyang Technology has built a full chain technology system covering "materials devices systems" from liquid working fluids to sealing designs, from control algorithms to modular components. In response to the common pain points in the industry, such as long implementation cycles, Lanyang Technology focuses on bridging the key links from laboratory to mass production. Our product can be developed, tested, and mass-produced for commercial use in as little as 3 to 4 months, significantly reducing the industrialization cycle, "said Wang Mengcheng.
As of now, Lanyang Technology has applied for more than 260 intellectual property rights, authorized over 130 patents, and overcome over 90 technical challenges. The company is also targeting overseas markets and is expected to provide liquid cooling services for two newly built data centers in Malaysia this year, using this as a pivot to expand into the Southeast Asian market; The docking with top customers in Europe, Canada and other places has also been launched synchronously.
Ningbo Shengwei Intelligent Security Technology Co., Ltd. is also accelerating on the liquid cooling track. In the company's assembly workshop, Vice President Wang Lei pointed to a batch of liquid cooled cabinets that were about to be shipped and said, "This year's orders have been scheduled until December." Most of the products are shipped to the United States, but also cover Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. With the acceleration of high-power computing clusters such as Wanka Intelligent Computing Center and supernodes, chip power consumption continues to rise. The traditional "fan+air conditioning" air cooling solution is approaching its capacity limit, and liquid cooling is being pushed to the forefront. In the past, customers asked about size and load-bearing capacity, but now they still ask about how many kilowatts and earthquake resistance level, "said Wang Lei.
Faced with diverse scenarios, a single technological route is difficult to dominate the world. Based on practical application scenarios, Shengwei has customized products to adapt to different regional data center standards and maintenance habits. It has laid out two product lines: cold plate oriented transformation for existing data centers, which is convenient for transformation, has short downtime, and high commercial maturity; Immersion oriented for newly built high-power intelligent computing centers, with high heat dissipation efficiency, low noise, and adaptability to ultra-high density. Walking on two legs enables enterprises to steadily advance on the global track. From January to August this year, Shengwei exported 2951 units of its liquid cooling series products with a value of 94 million yuan.
As an emerging category, liquid cooled cabinets have also become a new service issue for customs in export clearance. Ningbo Customs has opened a dedicated green channel for high-tech enterprises, combined with convenient appointment and inspection, and created a "one-stop" online application portal for certificates of origin, allowing enterprises to complete the entire process without leaving their homes. The export volume of liquid cooling products is rapidly increasing. We have included liquid cooling industry chain enterprises in the key service list, and are coordinating export plans and delivery nodes one by one. In response to the high precision of liquid cooling cabinets and the sensitivity of logistics timeliness, we have coordinated inspection resources and guided standardized declaration in advance, "said the relevant person in charge of Yinzhou Customs.
