Mark has a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and has been employed by GF for more than 25 years in many varied positions, from production, plant engineering, R&D and product management. He is a bi-lingual dual German/UK citizen, living in Germany with his office at the headquarters of GF Piping Systems Ltd in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, 40km north of Zürich.
His expertise lies in the design of cooling and refrigeration plants, especially secondary coolant closed loops, replacing traditional metal pipes with non-corroding, clean, safe, high-performance polymer piping.
Reliable, High-Performance DLC Piping Infrastructure
The power consumption of the AI generation of chips now requires direct liquid cooling (DLC) to cold plates – DLC is a necessity. The DLC primary and secondary closed loops in the white space must be designed to supply enough coolant for the row and individual rack densities, for efficient and reliable 24/7 operation for years to come. How can we design a DLC piping infrastructure, future-proofed for future chip developments, achieving 100% reliability and performance for the lifespan of the infrastructure?
