What Our Customers Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
What is direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling?
Direct-to-Chip (DTC) cooling is an advanced liquid cooling method that removes heat directly from high-power processors and GPUs using liquid-cooled cold plates and heat transfer fluids. By transferring heat more efficiently than traditional air cooling, DTC cooling enables data centers to support high-density AI and HPC workloads with improved thermal performance, energy efficiency, and reliability.
Why are DOWFROST™ fluids used in DTC systems?
DOWFROST™ heat transfer fluids are used in direct-to-chip (DTC) cooling systems because they provide excellent thermal stability, freeze protection, corrosion inhibition, and long-term system reliability. Engineered for closed-loop cooling applications, DOWFROST™ fluids help protect critical cooling infrastructure while maintaining efficient heat transfer for high-density AI and GPU workloads. Their proven performance and compatibility with liquid cooling systems make them a trusted solution for mission-critical data center environments.
What does a Dow Authorized Service Provider do?
An Authorized Service Provider delivers specialized expertise to support the installation, commissioning, operation, testing, maintenance, and long-term performance of glycol-based cooling systems. As an authorized provider for DOWFROST™ heat transfer fluids, Apex helps data centers ensure proper fluid selection, system startup, fluid quality management, contamination control, performance optimization, and ongoing operational reliability for direct-to-chip (DTC) and liquid cooling infrastructure.
Can Apex support existing cooling systems?
Yes. Apex supports both new construction and retrofit projects, including system recharge, fluid replacement, performance optimization, and ongoing maintenance programs. Our team helps data centers assess existing cooling infrastructure, improve thermal performance, manage fluid quality, reduce corrosion and fouling risks, and prepare systems for higher-density AI and GPU workloads.
From fluid testing and contamination control to monitoring, automation, and long-term operational support, Apex provides the expertise needed to extend equipment life, improve reliability, and maximize the performance of existing liquid cooling systems.
What else does Apex do for data centers?
Beyond direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling support, Apex provides comprehensive water and thermal management solutions for data center infrastructure. Our capabilities include utility water treatment, high-purity water systems, cooling tower and closed-loop treatment programs, glycol management, water reclaim solutions, automation and controls, monitoring systems, and advanced water treatment equipment.
