Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the computing power of computer servers, especially those in data centers, continues to increase. At the same time, the heat dissipation challenges associated with high-performance computing are becoming increasingly prominent. Traditional air cooling systems are gradually failing to meet the cooling requirements of modern high-density servers. This is especially true given the increasing power consumption of components like processors and graphics cards, making it difficult to achieve efficient heat dissipation solely through air cooling.
