Single Phase Immersion Cooling: From Niche Solution to Mainstream Necessity

For years, liquid cooling — including immersion — has primarily been seen as a special-purpose solution, a necessity for today’s High Density and/or High Performance Compute servers for which air cooling would be too costly or even technically infeasible with only novelty value in traditional data centers. As such, liquid cooling has long been assumed to be a small, niche market, accounting for perhaps 10% of the overall data center cooling solution marketplace.. But as server energy consumption, power costs, Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policies, and regulatory scrutiny all continue to rise, it’s become clear that this once niche solution is now positioned to be the primary technology enabling the data center and edge technology sustainability requirements of 2022 and beyond.
