Against the "dual-carbon" policy backdrop, tightening data center PUE regulations accelerate compliance deadlines: traditional air-cooled facilities (PUE >1.4) face obsolescence, while liquid cooling achieves PUE 1.05 through superior heat exchange. AI-driven high-compute demand pushes cabinet power density beyond air-cooling limits, amplifying liquid cooling’s advantages in energy efficiency (30% lower than air-cooled), heat dissipation, and long-term TCO. Despite mature technology, the industry struggles with fragmented products, inconsistent standards, and immature interoperability.

Against this backdrop,OC SIG came into being. It will carry out various industrial development activities, including research and formulation of standards related to liquid-cooled computing facilities, industrial promotion, establishment of benchmarks, testing and certification, as well as talent cultivation. Its scope of work covers liquid-cooled computer rooms, liquid-cooled integrated cabinets, liquid-cooled servers and network nodes, cabinet components, and liquid-cooled deployment and operation and maintenance.
