Immersion
Electronic components are fully submerged in a non-conductive dielectric fluid engineered for optimal thermodynamic properties.
The Science
Single-phase and air cooling are legacy approaches. Two-phase immersion represents a phase change in thermal engineering itself — harnessing the latent heat of vaporization to achieve cooling performance that scales to terawatt compute.
The Process
Electronic components are fully submerged in a non-conductive dielectric fluid engineered for optimal thermodynamic properties.
As heat is generated, the fluid reaches its boiling point and vaporizes, drawing enormous amounts of latent heat directly from chip surfaces — far more efficiently than any convective method.
Vapor rises to a condenser where it returns to liquid and cycles back into the bath. A closed-loop system with no fan energy, no water consumption.
How two-phase immersion compares across the metrics that matter.
| Metric | Two-Phase Immersion Entropy Method | Single-Phase Immersion | Air Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling Efficiency | Highest — latent heat transfer | High — convective transfer | Moderate — convective + fan |
| Max Power Density (kW/rack) | 100+ kW | 40–60 kW | 10–25 kW |
| Fluid Evaporation / Loss | Negligible (closed loop) | None | N/A |
| Noise Level | Silent | Near-silent | 70–85 dB |
| PUE Range | 1.02–1.05 | 1.05–1.10 | 1.3–1.6+ |
| Maintenance Complexity | Low | Low–Medium | High (filters, fans, ducts) |
| Water Consumption | Zero | Low | High (cooling towers) |
