MIVOLT has launched two specialist fluids to improve cooling efficiency, allowing for more efficient data centres, it says.
A dielectric fluid, which can be used to immersion cool data centre servers, MIVOLT is non-conductive and “can come into direct contact with electrical components resulting in more effective heat removal”.
What’s more, MIVOLT says the innovation is also biodegradable and manufactured without fluorine.
Immersion cooling can improve power usage efficiency by more than 20% and can also reduce the physical space required for data centres and their equipment.
Immersion cooling significantly reduces the need for other types of cooling such as air conditioning, as well as the need to locate data centres in cooler climates.
Locating data centres closer to consumption will be key to improving latency to support trends such as remote communications and artificial intelligence.
“After successfully entering the EV market with innovative fluids that will improve the performance of batteries, we wish to replicate that success in data centres, too,” says James O’Brien, product group director of parent company M&I Materials.
”There’s clearly a growing demand for data, most notably as we increasingly look to connect remotely, so it’s a natural progression of the MIVOLT offering. I’m proud to launch CL200 and CL300 today which offer improved safety and efficiency for data centres.”
