Cost Comparison: 100MW Direct Liquid to Chip (DLC) vs. Liquid Immersion Datacenter
For a 100MW datacenter facility, the choice between Direct Liquid to Chip (DLC) and Liquid Immersion cooling technologies represents a significant strategic decision with major implications for capital expenditure (CAPEX), operational expenses (OPEX), and overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This analysis provides a comprehensive comparison of these cooling technologies in large-scale AI and high performance computing environments.

Cost Comparison: 100 MW Air-Cooled vs. Liquid Immersion Cooled Datacenter
Based on comprehensive research, liquid immersion cooling offers significant advantages over traditional air cooling for 100 MW datacenter deployments. The analysis reveals a potential cost savings of approximately $350 million in capital expenditure, a 60.9% reduction in building footprint, 40.3% lower energy consumption, and near elimination (net zero) of water usage. These findings have important implications for government datacenter projects seeking to optimize resources while reducing environmental impact.
