Why it matters
Cooling limits density. Understanding shapes buildouts.

The architecture
Air: CRAC/CRAH + hot/cold aisles.
Liquid: rear-door heat exchanger, cold plate, immersion.

How it works end to end
Air: 15-30kW/rack ceiling.
Rear-door HX: bridge to ~50kW.
Direct liquid cooling (DLC): to 120kW+.
Immersion: highest density.
