What is immersion cooling technology?

Immersion cooling technology encompasses systems in which electronic components are directly exposed to and interact with dielectric fluids for cooling purposes. This includes systems using single-phase or two-phase dielectric liquids, leveraging their thermal capabilities to manage and dissipate heat generated by electronic components.

What are the benefits of immersion cooling?

Immersion cooling has many benefits, including but not limited to: sustainability, performance, reliability, and cost. The fluids used in immersion cooling are dielectric liquids to ensure that they can safely come into contact with energized electronic components.

How does immersion cooling work?

Superior Heat Transfer: By surrounding every surface of the device, immersion cooling provides direct, uniform contact with the fluid, removing heat more effectively than air or traditional liquid cooling systems.

What is liquid and immersion cooling?

Liquid and immersion cooling are widely used in high -performance computing clusters that handle AI training, simulations, and complex data analytics. These systems often feature large arrays of GPUs or specialized chips with substantial power demands.

What fluids are used in immersion cooling?

The fluids used in immersion cooling are dielectric liquids to ensure that they can safely come into contact with energized electronic components. Commonly used dielectric liquids in immersion cooling are synthetic hydrocarbons, esters (natural and synthetic) and fluorochemicals.

Why is immersion cooling better than water?

The typical data center approach, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) tends to be more favorable with immersion cooling because less energy is spent on air-based cooling infrastructure. Fluid Costs: Dielectric fluids can be significantly more expensive than water. If a system requires large volumes of fluid, costs can escalate quickly.
