Cooling
Failure modes and commissioning
A leak shows first as pressure loss or humidity, before temperature moves. Loss of flow removes cooling capacity faster and more abruptly. Commissioning uses liquid-cooled load banks to prove the loop before real IT load arrives.

| Leak signals | humidity, pressure and flow move first; temperature barely responds at once, because of thermal inertia in the hardware | https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.21801 read in the paper's abstract on 2026-09-18; a research prototype, not a shipped product |
