Immersing the cloud in sustainability

The tomorrow of cloud computing promises the advancement of powerful new data centers as well as growing pressures to reduce tremendous consumption in energy and land when cooling servers.
 

It's a future of exponentially faster data and an ever-growing need for faster information processing, all while satisfying an undeniable trend towards sustainability. And more data, faster means heat. The challenge is how to make critical data centers more efficient and sustainable by reducing their tremendous energy and land consumption. Data centers will constantly be improving the efficiency of cooling systems, better controlling of water consumption, reducing heat waste, and adopting renewable energy.

For a carbon neutral future is a low-carbon solution featuring low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) to reduce environmental impact. 

Stability

For an accelerated outlook of data centers, DOWSIL™ Immersion Cooling is built on stable chemical properties, high material compatibility, and low water absorption. 

Safety and responsibility

A safe, high-temperature resistant, and nonflammable liquid without bacteria and mold growing concerns as natural organic fluids. 

Optimized cooling

Delivers optimal cooling and thermal conductivity with low dielectric constant (ranging from 2.1 to 2.2), and low viscosity (10-30 cSt at 40C) with multiple selections.

High-cost efficiency

Reduces noise, costs, and leakage risks, as well as easy to maintain in a convenient location that saves space.

DOWSIL™ Immersion is a breakthrough technology

  • Silicone liquid is superior in heat conduction versus air
  • Liquid can get into small spaces and closer to materials that need cooling
  • Does not require chillers, CRACs, CRAHs or raised floors
  • More economical in overall cost
Single-Phase Immersion Cooling

Single-Phase Immersion Cooling

DOWSIL™ Immersion Cooling is specifically designed for single-phase immersion cooling applications, as opposed to two-phase immersion cooling. In single-phase immersion cooling, heat is transferred to the coolant through direct contact with server components. But, unlike two-phase immersion cooling, the coolant does not boil off. Instead, it remains in the liquid phase (hence the name) and is cooled via a heat exchanger.

Single Over Two-Phase Cooling

Single Over Two-Phase Cooling

Single-phase immersion cooling applications have many benefits over a two-phase (liquid -> vapor) system, making DOWSIL™ Immersion Cooling Technology ideal to meet the standards of the Green Revolution in data centers - as well as increase cost efficiency for operations.

Single-phase immersion cooling outperforms two-phase in categories such as:

  • Non-fluid losses
  • Lower operating expenses
  • Better hardware stability
  • Lessens environment, health and safety (EHS) risks
  • More scalable to larger data centers
  • Overall a less complex system
     

Most operations that have applied single-phase immersion cooling have been impressed with the simplicity of the system. This means more affordability, easier operations and less maintenance - helping some of the world’s largest cloud, enterprise, government, education and telecom organizations grow with data centers capable of future capacities and speed.
