Next Generation Cooling Technology: Immersion Cooling
In the modern today, AI chips are rapidly growing demand, and the specifications and scales requirements for server are getting more higher and complex. The heat dissipation problems caused by high-speed computing and complex AI workloads must be solved. Therefore, how to effectively cool the system and reduce operating costs is an urgently needed solution for data centers and AI servers.
In order to effectively solve the heat dissipation problem, a new generation of cooling technology - "immersion cooling" has emerged. Compared with traditional fans or refrigeration air-conditioning, because it does not require a large amount of air flow, it can save more space, and reduce energy consumption and operating costs, while maintaining the stability of the server, allowing the chip to have higher computing performance.
How Immersion Cooling Technology Works?
Immersion cooling is a type of liquid cooling technology that involves immersing high-temperature electronic components that require cooling in a cooling tank. The coolant efficiently absorbs heat from the chips, achieving rapid heat dissipation to maintain the system's operating temperature within a safe range.
To achieve optimal results, the coolant needs to be a non-conductive liquid to ensure that the electronic components are not affected in any way during the immersion cooling process. Fluorinated liquids are an ideal choice due to their excellent thermal conductivity and non-conductive properties, making them widely used in immersion cooling systems.
Immersion cooling systems are divided into single-phase and two-phase. The following describes how they operate:
Single-Phase Immersion Cooling
The server is fully immersed in the cooling tank, and the heat energy of the chip is conducted through the flow of coolant to quickly dissipate heat for the chip. After absorbing the heat energy, the coolant whose temperature rises is then pumped to a cooling tower to release heat. After cooling, the coolant flows back to the server and continues the cycle of operation.
※Heat is dissipated through the flow of coolant. [Only liquid→single phase]
Two-Phase Immersion Cooling
High-temperature electronic components are immersed in a cooling tank, and the heat from the chips will be transferred to the coolant. The coolant absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change into vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid state using a condenser, circulating back into the cooling tank to continue the cycle of heat dissipation. This design can more effectively lowers the server temperatures and improves heat dissipation efficiency.
Immersed liquid cooling technology is different from air cooling systems that require the cooperation of other equipment. Its simple heat dissipation process reduces the need for additional cooling devices, while improving cooling efficiency and reduceing energy comsumption.
※It not only relies on the flow of coolant but also relies on gasification to take away more waste heat. [Liquid and gas→two phases]

The stable characteristics of electronic fluorinated liquid make it highly suitable for electronic single-phase and two-phase heat transfer applications, providing rapid heat conduction and ensuring that electronic components and circuits will not be damaged, thereby increasing chip computing performance.
When using electronic fluorinated liquids, special attention should be paid to the operating temperature range of the fluorinated fluid, which is usually between -60 °C~165 °C. Therefore, in the process of transporting fluorinated liquids, the temperature resistance of the transport equipment should be carefully considered first, and then whether there is a risk of liquid leakage.
