Thermal Charge® Heat Transfer Fluids and AI-Powered Monitoring Unite to Deliver Predictive Cooling-Loop Health Management
NORTHBROOK, Ill. and WEATHERFORD, Texas, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Old World Industries (OWI), a leading manufacturer of coolant and heat transfer solutions best known for its brands of PEAK® and Thermal Charge® Heat Transfer Fluids, and Integrity Systems, a critical infrastructure monitoring company, today announced a strategic partnership to combine coolant expertise with real-time monitoring, predictive analytics and intelligent diagnostics for data center cooling systems.
As AI and other high-density computing workloads place increasing demands on data center infrastructure, operators need greater visibility into the real-time health and performance of their cooling systems. Any downtime or disruptions to the system can have significant operational and financial consequences, making proactive monitoring and maintenance critical for data center operators. Periodic laboratory testing provides important point-in-time information about coolant condition; the OWI-Integrity Systems partnership is designed to complement that testing with continuous field monitoring that can alert operators of changing cooling-loop conditions between testing intervals.
"Unscheduled downtime remains one of the most expensive risks facing data center operators today," said Greg Noethlich, Chief Executive Officer of OWI. "This partnership helps customers move from reactive problem-solving to predictive maintenance, helping avoid the substantial costs associated with unexpected system failures."
Integrity Systems' real-time industrial monitoring, predictive analytics and intelligent diagnostics capabilities are designed to work alongside existing controls and monitoring systems. Its platform brings together sensor data, operating context, maintenance history and operator knowledge to help identify developing problems and guide maintenance decisions.
"We founded Integrity Systems to close the gap between what industrial operators need and what predictive monitoring actually delivers," said Brett Wade, Chief Executive Officer of Integrity Systems. "By combining continuous field monitoring with OWI's coolant expertise, the partnership delivers ongoing visibility into coolant performance, helping operators make informed maintenance decisions based on real-time operating conditions."
The collaboration also creates an opportunity to generate additional real-world operating data on coolant performance. Those insights can help inform future product validation and development while giving operators greater context about cooling system conditions in live environments.
"We see AI's future being shaped not only by the size of the data centers behind it, but by the ability to deploy increasing levels of intelligence at the edge," said Connor Wooley, Chief Technology Officer of Integrity Systems. "Our goal is to lead in that space by delivering AI where work is performed and critical decisions are made. Our agentic harness is designed to turn deep analysis and verified operating experience into specialized AI that runs locally. With OWI, we're applying that approach to coolant and cooling-system health, helping operators understand what is changing, why it matters, and when to act. But our vision extends further, an operating system for intelligent infrastructure that can carry that capability beyond continuous human reach, from remote industrial environments to space. The goal is intelligence that can operate where people cannot always be, without depending on a distant data center for every decision."
Together, OWI and Integrity Systems are enabling a new standard for cooling-system assurance that helps data center operators improve uptime, protect critical infrastructure and confidently scale for growing computing demands.
