Immersion cooling has been proven to be the best solution for industries needing to cool high-computing servers emitting a lot of waste heat.
Single-Phase Liquid Immersion Cooling, How Does It Work?
The principle of immersion cooling is immerging servers in a tank filled with a dielectric liquid.
The latter differs according to the type of system we’re using. In single-phase immersion, two types of liquid can be used. The hydrocarbon-based dielectric liquid, which is like mineral oil, and synthetic oil. Contrary to two-phase liquid, which is fluorocarbon-based liquid, the coolant in single-phase doesn’t boil and, therefore doesn’t undergo a phase change during the cooling process.
The waste heat is transferred from the components to the coolant. The latter is pumped to a heat exchanger where the heat is directly transferred to a cooler water circuit and sent back into the immersion tank.
Since the dielectric coolant is a better heat conductor than air, this kind of liquid cooling is well suited for high-density racks and is less expensive than two-phase immersion cooling.

Advantages of Single-Phase Immersion Cooling?
● Increase power rack density: The components in the server can be placed closer to each other therefore requiring less space because the heat generated is significantly reduced with immersion cooling. This enables high-density rack designs.
●Reduce energy usage: Compared to traditional air cooling systems, single-phase cooling greatly reduces the data center footprint by reducing or completely removing air cooling units. It is estimated that single-phase liquid can use 50% less energy than traditional air cooling.
●Components lifespan: The lifespan of components is longer in immersion cooling thanks to the lack of temperature variations and lack of fans (which can possibly provoke vibrations).
●Low maintenance: This cooling method does not require complex infrastructure, CRACs, CRAHs, or chillers making it very effective and low maintenance.
●Reduce PUE: Single-phase liquid can claim a PUE of 1.03 as opposed to 1.02 with two-phase immersion cooling and around 1.6 with air cooling.
●Reduce TCO: Single-phase immersion cooling being a fanless system, air cooling infrastructure is reduced, greatly diminishing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
