Cooling the AI Data Center in 2026: Share Your View

Brief

DatacenterDynamics (Claire Fletcher) is running a short (5‑minute) survey, published 19 Feb 2026, with Jetcool to collect input from North American operators on cooling for AI data centers. It solicits details on direct liquid‑cooling timelines, rack power thresholds, AI workload and processor drivers of density, CDU design and capacity planning, and barriers/standards — with early access to an anonymized report for participants.

Cleaned source text

Hi there,

I am running a short survey in partnership with Jetcool to examine how North American operators are approaching cooling strategies for AI driven data centers in 2026.

The survey takes just 5 minutes to complete. We would value your perspective on:

Direct liquid cooling adoption and deployment timelines

AI workloads and processor architectures driving density increases

Rack power thresholds triggering the shift from air to liquid

CDU architectures, capacity planning, and integration models

Barriers, standards alignment, and long term scalability confidence

Your input will contribute to an anonymized industry report focused on real world adoption trends, deployment challenges, and partnership models shaping AI ready cooling infrastructure across North America.

As a thank you, participants will receive complimentary early access to the final report.

Kind regards,

Claire Fletcher Head of Partner Content | DatacenterDynamics
