Company calls it a sustainable solution for data centres
Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) is spotlighting immersion cooling using dielectric fluids as a safe, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance alternative for data centers facing growing performance demands. In a recent statement, BAC highlighted the benefits of submerging servers in thermally stable, electrically non-conductive liquids that absorb heat more effectively than traditional air-based or direct-to-chip cooling systems.
Dielectric fluids—ranging from synthetic hydrocarbons to esters—offer fire resistance, minimal environmental impact, and long service lives of over a decade, according to the company. This results in significant reductions in cooling energy use—up to 90% by some estimates—along with operational cost savings and decreased maintenance needs.
BAC, a provider of heat rejection and fluid cooling systems, has engineered its cooling solutions to integrate seamlessly with immersion systems. The company emphasized that such technologies support ESG goals through lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced water and chemical usage in data center operations.
