ExxonMobil powers Intel’s next-gen immersion cooling solution
ExxonMobil has partnered with Intel to launch a new method of immersion cooling for data centres. This cooling method includes a new tank design from Intel and ExxonMobil’s immersion cooling fluid. This new method enables cooling of chips of >800W and potentially >1 kW compared to the current cooling capacity of 300-350W with hydrocarbon-based fluids on Xeon processors.
The new tank design has enhanced server performance and stability while substantially reducing energy consumption. It will help data center enterprises achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals while optimizing physical space for higher-density server deployments.
Through its ongoing collaboration with Intel, ExxonMobil’s Data center immersion fluids have played a crucial role in enabling Intel’s solution to overcome technical limitations showcasing the potential use of hydrocarbon-based single-phase immersion cooling for future chip designs. “Our long-term collaboration with Intel has proven the significant advantages of our data center immersion cooling fluid products in terms of cooling performance,” said Jerry Wang, Asia Pacific Product Manager for ExxonMobil.
“This technological breakthrough results from multi-party cooperation, setting a new benchmark for the data center industry. This approach has played a crucial role in Intel’s technical support and total solution design, particularly in the validation of the G-Flow tank design, where the application of immersion cooling technology significantly enhanced processor performance and energy efficiency,” said Dr. Du, Director of Thermal and Mechanical Design, Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Business Unit, Intel China.
