The Chemours Company (Chemours), a global chemistry company, has announced the successful qualification of its Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid by Samsung Electronics. This milestone marks a significant advancement in Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling adoption, ensuring fluid compatibility and performance with current-generation Samsung Solid State Drive (SSD).
After completing rigorous testing of Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid, Samsung successfully qualified the fluid with its generation four SSD. Opteon™ is the first two-phase immersion cooling fluid approved by Samsung; testing for subsequent generations will begin in the months ahead.
To ensure swift qualification, Chemours and Samsung joined forces with Liquid Stack and PKI Corporation to conduct performance testing using a commercial scale 48U immersion cooling tank. Samsung and PKI established a robust testing and qualification process to support current and future generation qualifications.
Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid offers a power usage effectiveness (PUE) approaching and superior performance capabilities. Nearly eliminating water use, reducing space requirements by 60%, and lowering energy consumption by up to 40% and cooling energy use by up to 90%, this technology represents benefits for data center operators and communities alike.
