Continuous Cooling is the design provision that keeps heat removal uninterrupted through a power disturbance or transfer event, so temperatures do not spike while chillers restart. It typically uses thermal storage such as chilled-water buffer tanks plus UPS-backed pumps and controls, and is essential in high-density data center halls where even brief cooling loss risks rapid overheating.
