Industry Shift to Sustainable Cooling
The OCP Global Summit in San Jose highlighted a significant industry shift towards sustainable liquid cooling solutions for data centers. As AI and high-performance computing increase thermal demands, PFAS-free, biodegradable cooling technologies are transitioning from innovation to widespread adoption.
Perstorp's Demonstrations
Perstorp's debut at the event showcased their advancements in synthetic ester technology through live demonstrations and expert talks. Attendees experienced operational systems demonstrating immersion and cold plate cooling, utilizing Intel’s Superfluid™ technology and Perstorp’s PFAS-free, biodegradable fluids.
Technical Insights
Perstorp contributed to the conference with two technical presentations. The first, “Synthetic Ester Coolants – Powering Safer, More Sustainable and Efficient Data Centers,” highlighted the high thermal performance and fire safety of ester-based fluids in immersion cooling. The second, “Revolutionizing Data Center Cooling with Synthetic Esters,” examined the dielectric strength, stability, and environmental benefits of these fluids.
Advantages of Synthetic Esters
The demonstrations underscored the advantages of synthetic ester-based cooling fluids, including dielectric safety, ultra-low viscosity for efficient heat transfer, and biodegradability. These features make them suitable for next-generation data centers.
Collaboration for Sustainable Solutions
Perstorp's participation emphasized their ongoing collaboration with OEMs and data center operators to develop PFAS-free, biodegradable solutions that balance safety, performance, and environmental responsibility. As data center power densities rise, synthetic ester chemistry offers a viable path for efficient and reliable cooling.
