A system that removes heat from equipment to keep it within safe operating temperatures. In computing it covers air, liquid, and immersion methods used in servers and data centres.
Semantic Classification

- Cooling systems dissipate the heat generated by electronic components so that performance is maintained and hardware lifespan is preserved. Methods include forced air, liquid cooling loops, and full immersion in dielectric fluids.
- In data centres, cooling is a major contributor to energy use, so efficiency measures such as raised inlet temperatures, free cooling, and heat reuse are used to reduce operating cost and environmental impact.
