astrol has announced the launch of Castrol ON Direct Liquid Cooling PG 25, a new propylene glycol-based cooling fluid specifically designed for direct-to-chip cooling applications in high-performance data centres.
Castrol ON PG 25 has been developed to meet the rapidly growing adoption of direct-to-chip cooling technology in data centres, driven by the demand for higher computing densities, particularly for applications like AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing.
Traditional air cooling – which currently dominates data centre coolingoften cannot efficiently manage the heat generated by densely packed, high-power servers.
To address these escalating cooling demands, the industry is turning to more efficient solutions like direct-to-chip cooling which delivers liquid coolant directly to heat-generating components; enabling faster heat transfer and reducing the reliance on energyintensive air conditioning systems. This approach helps maintain the optimal operating temperatures crucial for system reliability and performance.
“As data centres continue to push the boundaries of computing power, direct-to-chip cooling offers an opportunity for data centres to manage the increasing thermal demands of next-generation processors,” said Peter Huang, Global Vice President of Thermal Management, Castrol. “Through the launch of PG 25, we are combining Castrol’s expertise in thermal management with our global capabilities to help customers meet their cooling challenges with efficiency.” .
