Yuji is deeply engaged in advancing next-generation fluorine chemistry, poised to revolutionize the data center immersion cooling industry. Specifically, Yuji is committed to creating innovative liquid coolants designed to optimize heat management. These coolants promise substantial improvements in energy efficiency, performance, and space utilization, especially for high-performance and high-density computing environments.
Data centers worldwide are continually striving to enhance their Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), a key metric that measures energy efficiency. In order to tackle their PUE, data center service providers have got to focus on a few key elements. To mitigate this energy challenge, data centers must implement the right equipment, the right server room design, the right monitoring and tracking systems, and of course the right cooling.
One of the most promising advancements in this area is the adoption of fluorinated fluids for cooling. These fluids offer several benefits that contribute significantly to improved PUE in data centers.
Superior Heat Transfer Performance
The heat transfer capabilities of fluorinated fluids are significantly better than competing fluids due to these following properties:
- Viscosity: Lower viscosity improves fluid flow and heat transfer. By implementing this fluid, energy and heat can be thoroughly distributed across the equipment in order to maintain thermal efficiency rather than implementing various other systems and channels for air cooling the server. In doing so, energy can be better managed across your server room.
- Thermal Conductivity: Higher thermal conductivity facilitates efficient heat dissipation. Fluorinated fluids have excellent thermal properties, allowing for more efficient heat transfer compared to traditional cooling methods. This results in reduced energy consumption for cooling purposes, ultimately improving PUE.
- Density: Optimal density ensures effective circulation without excessive energy consumption. Additionally, servers can be packed more densely within equipment without losing cooling efficiency.
- Specific Heat: Higher specific heat capacity allows the fluid to absorb more heat before increasing in temperature. With chips becoming smaller and denser, the energy produced also rises making fluorinated fluids a sure-fire fit in to optimize heat absorption in your data center cooling strategies.
Versatility
One of the standout advantages of fluorinated fluids is their versatility. They can be effectively utilized in both single-phase and two-phase cooling systems, offering data centers flexibility in designing and implementing their cooling strategies. This adaptability ensures that data centers can optimize their cooling infrastructure according to specific needs and operational constraints.
By harnessing the unique properties of fluorinated fluids, data centers can not only achieve better PUE but also contribute to broader environmental goals, making them a cornerstone of future-ready data center designs.
