Traditionally, liquid cooling was only relevant for the enthusiast markets - that is until Asetek’s solution. Up until now liquid cooling systems have always had one or more drawbacks, such as being bulky and built of many separate components interconnected by a lot of hoses, high cost, insufficient reliability and life span. All this is history now, as Asetek has changed the standard for how liquid cooling is made, thereby making liquid cooling a compelling choice for any OEM or ODM. 

The cornerstones in making this possible and get rid of the well known drawbacks with liquid cooling has been a number of unique inventions and innovations (Asetek is very focused on IP. We apply for patents on all innovation and inventions we do. At this point in time Asetek has several granted patents and numerous pending applications):

• Integration of pump, water reservoir, cold plate and electronics in one compact unit
  By integrating all these components in to one small unit that is actually smaller than most heat sinks on the market our LCLC will fit all computers where there would be room for a cooler anyway. The Asetek LCLC unit complies with all “keep out areas” on motherboards as such specified by the CPU manufacturers. The LCLC will fit small form factors and rack servers down to 2U (a 1U unit is on its way).
  
  In addition the monolithic structure of Asetek’s cooling system is very easy/cost-effective to manufacture. And even more important the simple structure allows for a high reliability and an industry standard life time of 50.000 hours with no leaks or faulty pumps! The life time and reliability of the LCLC is tested and validated by a 3^rd party lab. Life time report is available upon request.
  
  Finally by having a monolithic and compact structure mounting the LCLC at the PC/server
  manufacturer's production line is easy to do and is very similar to mounting a traditional cooler as the LCLC uses the same fastening means as traditional heat sinks.  
  
  
• State of the art low cost AC/DC hybrid pump                                                        Asetek saw that AC and DC pumps had different advantages (and disadvantages). Typically DC-based pumps are high performing but at the same time complex in nature and expensive. At the other hand AC-based pumps are very reliable and low cost. By combining the best from both technologies we have developed a hybrid technology low power high performance, high reliable but low cost pump. Typically a 10^th the cost of industry grade pumps!
  
  
• Low pressure drop cold plate
  There are basically two ways of obtaining high cold plate performance; 1. using micro channels with a high pressure drop and low flow. And 2. using a high flow low pressure drop cold plate. In a high pressure drop system flexibility is usually low as adding more cold plates will prevent the pump from being able to provide an adequate flow or put too much stress and strain on the pump bearings.
  
  In the Asetek LCLC we use a low pressure drop system and the benefit is that the system is ultra flexible. For instance with only one pump the LCLC is capable of cooling 2x 130W CPU’s and 2x 240W graphics adaptors – or in other words providing flow for 4 cold plates and removing 750W!
