What Engineers Get Wrong About Liquid Cooling - Wendy Luiten | Podcast #163
Connect with Wendy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-luiten-a3b5173/ At another insightful episode of Realize Live 2025 in Amsterdam, we sit down with Wendy Luiten, a pioneering thermal engineer and Six Sigma Master Black Belt, who became the first woman to receive the 2024 Thermi Award!In this episode, Wendy talks about the rapidly growing energy and water crisis behind the world’s data centers - and how computational fluid dynamics (CFD), liquid cooling, and sustainable design can change the future of AI infrastructure.She shares insights on: Why AI-driven data centers could soon consume up to 5% of global energyHow liquid immersion cooling works, and why it’s better than airThe trade-offs between fluor-based and plant-based cooling fluidsHow Six Sigma and design space exploration accelerate innovationWhy engineers need to “defend empty space” in thermal system designThis is a conversation that challenges how we think about data, heat, and the responsibility that comes with innovation.
