Air Cooling Immersion Cooling Direct Liquid Cooling Up to ~60kW/rack Cold Plate The Evolution of Data Center Cooling Fans, CRAH/CRAC, etc… Up to ~200kW/rack Indirect Liquid Cooling Rear Door Heat Exchanger

200kW/rack As power densities continue to increase, data centers are moving toward direct liquid cooling technologies, including immersion cooling, where standardized qualification methods are still emerging. ~50 – 100 kW/rack

Industry Lacks Standard Qualification Methods There is no standardized approach for evaluating: Signal Integrity Material Compatibility Safety Aging Heat Transfer THE CHALLENGE

p5

• Market is quickly growing and changing to increase performance and efficiency – optimized hardware design hasn’t been realized • Current hardware is designed for air environments to cool equipment which is much less effective • By advancing the understanding of the stressors on immersion fluids—thermal, chemical, environmental, and mechanical—the industry can develop more robust and efficient solutions that meet the ever-increasing demands of modern IT infrastructure • The industry is in need of an independent test house which is aligned with OCP, which can facilitate unified industry-wide material compatibility and reliability testing for immersion cooling. Data Center Fluids Understanding 5
