In a data server, all IT component’s energy is converted to heat. It has been proved that heat is counterproductive for all type of IT equipment and can alter its performance and lifespan. To surmount this issue, data centers are constantly cooled to must be kept at a stable temperature. In general, the cooling is done by cooling energy-consuming units such as fans, which have a negative impact on the environment in the long run.
Immersion cooling system basically consists in completely submerging a server into a dielectric liquid. This type of liquid does not conduct electricity; therefore, it is totally safe for the electronics components to be emerged without any risk of shortcuts and oxidation.
This way, all waste heat generated by the components is captured by the dielectric liquid inside the tank, which is capable of absorbing around 1500 times more heat than air, for the same volume. The heat then flows to a heat exchanger where it’s cooled by a secondary air to liquid or liquid to liquid heat exchanger to be dissipated or reused.
This immersion cooling solution with cable planks, when combined with a immersed chassis, can perfectly solve the problem of coolant sealing and extend the interface of the device to the outside.
