Intel is unveiling a new tank design along with immersion cooling solutions for data centers, signifying a potential leap in cooling efficiency for powering data centers.
This tank represents a totally new system design concept that has successfully overcome the current limitations of single-phase immersion cooling efficiency, previously limited to 300-350W with hydrocarbon-based fluids on Xeon processors. The new tank design enables cooling of chips of >800W and potentially >1 kW.
Through its ongoing collaboration with Intel, ExxonMobil’s Data Center immersion fluids have played a crucial role in enabling Intel’s solution to overcome technical limitations showcasing the potential use of hydrocarbon based single phase immersion cooling for future chip designs.
“Our long-term collaboration with Intel has proven the significant advantages of our data center immersion cooling fluid products in terms of cooling performance,” said Jerry Wang, Asia Pacific product manager for ExxonMobil.
The combination of ExxonMobil’s immersion cooling fluid and Intel’s new tank design has shown significantly enhanced server performance and stability while substantially reducing energy consumption based upon trials by leading server provider H3C.
This breakthrough aids data center enterprises in achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals while optimizing physical space for higher-density server deployments. It meets the demands of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, making it a leading technology choice for modern data center operators, according to the vendors.
As the immersion cooling tank provider, Shenzhen Eco-atlas Technology leveraged the strengths of all participants to provide complete immersion cooling solutions, ensuring efficient implementation and reliable deployment of the solutions.
Key to the successful development of this single-phase immersion cooled solution has been the cross-value chain collaboration between chip manufacturer, server provider, tank, and fluid suppliers.
This collaboration has enabled the efficient and rapid development and deployment of this state-of-the-art cooling solution for the data center industry.
This breakthrough fully demonstrates the importance of multi-party cooperation in driving technological progress and indicates the broad application of immersion cooling technology, according to the vendors.
