Designing Adaptable Cooling Infrastructure to Future-Proof Data Centers Against Evolving AI Rack Densities

• Avoiding single-temperature design traps that constrain efficiency, increase capital costs, and limit future technology adoption
• Balancing air-cooled and liquid-cooled workloads through dual-temperature cooling architectures that maximize capacity and operational flexibility
• Preparing mechanical, electrical, and commissioning strategies to support changing cooling requirements without disruptive retrofits or redesigns
