Liquid immersion cooling for computing equipment

The IT industry is responsible for a significant share of global electricity use. According to the International Energy Agency, data centre operations together with the data transmission network are responsible for over 2% of the global electricity consumption in 2020 [1] With sizeable growth expected in the industry, this share is expected to rise. 

 

While the energy consumption of this sector is significant, the benefits of the services offered, and the economic activity supported by data centre services are many times larger.

 

Cooling is critical to safely operate computing equipment and yield maximum performance. The energy required for the cooling of a data centre makes up close to 40% of the total energy consumed [2].  To operate data centres sustainably efficient cooling is key. Liquid immersion cooling – where the hardware is fully submerged in a dielectric fluid to transport heat away from the equipment - offers a great energy saving potential for the industry and has the potential to decrease the impact this sector has [3].
