🔬 How Immersion Cooling Technology Works
Understanding the science and engineering behind superior cooling performance
Complete Immersion
Servers are completely submerged in engineered dielectric coolant (3M Novec 7100) that doesn't conduct electricity, ensuring safe operation.
Superior Heat Transfer
Liquid coolant provides 1000x better heat transfer than air, directly contacting all components for maximum thermal efficiency.
Efficient Heat Rejection
Heated coolant is pumped through external heat exchangers and cooling towers for efficient heat rejection to ambient air.
Continuous Circulation
Cooled fluid returns to servers in a continuous, efficient loop with minimal pumping power required due to low viscosity.
