Trane swallows LiquidStack to juice its DC cooling lineup

You may recall LiquidStack was one of the early players in two-phase immersion cooling, and first dunked servers into tanks of dielectric liquids to cool down crypto mining operations. Microsoft was among the first to trial LiquidStack's tech all the way back in 2021. Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio to include both single-phase and dual-phase immersion tanks, plus direct-to-chip cooling technologies, including a rather beefy 10MW modular coolant distribution unit (CDU).

Is a Range Hood Necessary? What Homeowners Should Know About Code, Safety, and Value

A range hood is a mechanical ventilation system installed above a cooktop or range. Its primary job is to remove cooking byproducts, moisture, and odors. Some models vent air outside through ductwork. Others recirculate air through filters and send it back into the kitchen. While both options may look similar, their performance is not the same.

As it freezes, water trapped inside your pipes hardens and expands, filling the pipe with intense pressure that can create a crack at your pipe's weakest point.
