As data centres evolve to support AI, HPC, and high-density computing, cooling systems are undergoing a fundamental transformation. Traditional air-based approaches are reaching their limits, accelerating the industry’s shift toward liquid cooling. While this transition unlocks higher performance and efficiency, it also introduces new risks that directly affect reliability, energy consumption, and uptime.

In this session, IMI Data Centre Solutions explores why flow stability has become a mission-critical factor in modern thermal control systems. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the operational, business and reputational consequences of unstable flow, from reduced cooling efficiency and increased component wear to higher risks of downtime in mission-critical environments.

The presentation outlines what it takes to guarantee flow stability in critical data centre systems, focusing on system balancing, fast response to dynamic loads, differential pressure control, and fluid quality management. The session concludes with a practical view of how IMI supports data centre operators and designers in moving from cooling challenges to full cooling system control, enabling scalable, reliable, and future-ready infrastructure.
