LG Electronics is partnering with GS Engineering & Construction and U.S. immersion cooling specialist GRC to commercialize immersion cooling technology for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Immersion cooling is an advanced technology that manages heat generated by data center servers, and the three companies aim to secure market leadership through this collaboration.

On the 14th, LG Electronics announced that on the 13th it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with GS E&C and GRC at GS E&C’s headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, for the development and cooperation on data center immersion cooling technology. Immersion cooling is a technology that cools heat by directly submerging servers in a non-conductive liquid (fluid) that does not conduct electricity.

Through this collaboration, the three companies will verify the practical applicability of immersion cooling technology and carry out work on integrated solutions and standardization. LG Electronics will provide its own cooling technology and operational data, and build cooling solutions in line with the derived standard design. GS E&C will be responsible for establishing standard architectural designs and operating a proof-of-concept (PoC) testbed, while GRC will provide immersion tanks and control technologies and handle system improvements.

With this partnership, LG Electronics has further advanced its AI data center customized cooling portfolio to include immersion cooling in addition to existing air cooling and liquid cooling. Oh Se-gi, head of LG Electronics’ ES Laboratory (Executive Vice President), said, “To take the lead in the rapidly growing AI data center cooling solutions market, the company will continue to research and develop high-performance, high-efficiency cooling technologies.”
