In this article, we explore the world of immersion fluids used in cooling systems.
Optimal performance, heat transfer efficiency, and system longevity hinge upon the selection of the most suitable immersion fluid. Attributes like high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, and exceptional dielectric properties are non-negotiable in ensuring effective heat removal.
As discussed in a previous article (Oils ain't Oils | LinkedIn), there are two methods in deploying immersion cooling, being single- or two-phase architectures, and a quick summary below;
In single-phase immersion cooling, the liquid remains in a liquid state throughout the cooling process. The heat from the electronic components is transferred to the liquid through conduction. The liquid is then cooled by a heat exchanger or other cooling system.
