The new cooling technology will depend on Dielectric odorless, non-toxic liquid coolant which has electrical & chemical inert properties, this coolant doesn’t need to be changed, has a high flash point & stable even under fire event.
Since cooling can consume from 35 to 50 percent of datacenter power, saving in this area will be huge.
Benefits of immersion cooling:
1- Support high density racks.
2- Reduce OPEX due to the following:
- High cooling energy efficiency.
- Decrease cooling equipment & servers required power.
- Reduce maintenance cost since CRAH units & servers fans won’t be needed anymore.
3- Reduce CAPEX due to the following:
- CRAH units, servers fans & raised floor won’t be needed.
- By reducing servers required power, smaller UPSs will be needed.
- By reducing cooling equipment & UPSs required power, smaller transformers, generators & MDBs will be needed, hence a huge CAPEX saving in all electrical equipment will be achieved.
