**AI data center liquid cooling: where heat exchangers fit in the cooling infrastructure**

A single high-density AI training rack can draw more than 100 kW. Uptime Institute puts the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 at roughly 132 kW in a 19-inch frame — about 100 kW to cold plates, with more than 25 kW still rejected to air. The challenge does not end at the cold plate. That heat still … Read more

**Exotic alloy heat exchangers for chemical service: Hastelloy, Inconel, titanium, and zirconium**

A tube bundle fails in eighteen months, and the metallurgical report says the alloy was never wrong on paper. Type 316L was rated for the acid, temperature sat inside the published range, and the corrosion allowance was generous. What the specification missed was a trace of ferric ion carried over from an upstream oxidation step, … Read more
