What is Immersion Cooling?

Understanding the Fundamentals

Immersion Cooling Fundamentals

In immersion cooling, heat is transferred directly away from the heat source using a working fluid that must be non-conductive. The fluid directly contacts the hot components, absorbing the heat they generate, then circulates away from the components and can be passed through a heat exchanger to dissipate the heat.

The underlying principle behind both single and two-phase immersion cooling is that liquid is a much better heat conductor than air.

How Immersion Cooling Works

🖥️

Server Immersion

Servers are completely submerged in dielectric fluid

🔥

Heat Transfer

Components generate heat, directly absorbed by fluid

Circulation

Heated fluid circulates to heat exchanger

Heat Rejection

Heat dissipated, cooled fluid returns

Single-Phase vs Two-Phase Comparison

Single-Phase vs Two-Phase Immersion Cooling

Single-Phase Cooling

How it works: A single-phase fluid remains in its liquid form during the entire cooling process. Single-phase immersion uses a circulation method for the dielectric liquid across hot electronic components and to a heat exchanging approach.

Uses hydrocarbon-based oils or mineral oils
Much less maintenance and easier to access and repair
More affordable with easy operations
Continuous liquid circulation system
Lower complexity infrastructure
Two-Phase Cooling

How it works: A two-phase fluid undergoes a phase change and becomes a gas. The liquid used is fluorocarbon-based and leverages the heat-absorbing properties of vaporization.

Uses fluorinated fluids
Higher heat transfer efficiency through phase change
Excellent for high-density computing
Natural convection reduces pumping requirements
Superior cooling for extreme heat loads
