Which layers of the cooling chain do control offerings say they cover?各控制产品声称覆盖冷却链的哪些层级？
Most controls cover one or two cooling layers.多数控制产品只管冷却链的一到两个层级。
The missing link for AI sites, between fast-swinging IT load and the plant, is stated by only one offering and trialled by one more.AI 站点缺的是快速波动的 IT 负载与冷站之间的那一环：只有一家写明做到，另有一项试验以此为目标。

14 offerings from thermal makers, building-control firms and software specialists. The six layers follow the heat path on the system map.14 个产品，来自热管理厂商、楼宇控制公司和软件公司。六个层级按系统图上的热路径划分。
1of 14/ 14
Offerings that state they use IT-side signals (server, GPU or rack power, workload) as a control input写明以 IT 侧信号（服务器、GPU 或机柜功率、负载）为控制输入的产品
7of 14/ 14
Offerings that state they control a liquid loop or CDU写明控制液冷回路或 CDU 的产品
4of 14/ 14
Offerings that state an improvement figure for themselves; they measure different things (energy, PUE, cooling cost) and none gives a baseline and test conditions that allow a comparison给出自身改善幅度数字的产品；它们衡量的东西不同（能耗、PUE、冷却成本），也没有一个给出可供比较的基准和测试条件
The owner's judgement作者判断
Cooling controls decide how fast pumps run, which chillers start and where the air goes. Which layers of the cooling chain do the main control offerings say they cover?冷却控制决定水泵转多快、开哪台冷机、空气往哪里走。主要控制产品声称覆盖冷却链的哪些层级？
Willow Lei · judgementWillow Lei · 判断
Of the 14 control offerings read here, most equipment controllers cover their own unit; only Phaidra states control of both the CDU and the chiller plant, and only Phaidra states that it uses rack power as an input.
In my judgement the missing link for AI sites is between the IT load and the plant, because GPU power can swing within seconds.
Improvement claims cannot be compared yet, because none of the four that give a figure publishes a baseline and test conditions; until a common test exists, I read this table as coverage the vendors state, not as performance.
这里读到的 14 个控制产品中，大多数设备控制器只管本机；只有 Phaidra 写明同时控制 CDU 和冷站，也只有 Phaidra 写明以机柜功率为输入。
我的判断是：AI 站点缺的是 IT 负载与冷站之间的那一环，因为 GPU 功率可在数秒内波动。
改善幅度的说法目前无法比较，给出数字的 4 个产品都没有公布基准和测试条件；在出现共同的测试之前，我把这张表读作厂商写明的覆盖范围，而不是性能。
