News, Dunn County
UW-Stout students helped test and develop a new liquid cooling system for data centers through internships with nVent, a global company with corporate offices in Minnesota.
Easton Sailer and Evan Pettit, seniors in the university’s computer and electrical engineering program, worked with nVent teams this summer to develop new “high density liquid cooling” products, or HDLC.
By using a liquid material to reduce heat buildup within data center servers, this technology offers a “more efficient and sustainable alternative” to air-cooling methods, supporting a greater density of computing power within a given location, according to the university’s release.
