Two primary strategies dominate the industry: air conditioning (AC) systems and liquid cooling systems. Each has its advantages and limitations, and selecting the right method requires a careful balance of upfront costs, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability.
[pdf] Liquid cooling media (such as deionized water, alcohol-based solutions, or fluorocarbon fluids) possess superior thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity compared to air, enabling rapid heat removal from the system.
