BAC promotes dielectric fluid cooling

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
